Default Diablo tuners, which parameters do they control?

Hello everyone,
The 14 C7 Z 51 LT 3 that I just bought came with a Diablo tune installed. I was only able to drive the car a week before I had to go back overseas. Does this change all the driving modes? Can I still have advanced fuel management for 4 cylinder operation?
Can I still manage the high-performance exhaust? The car is fast as hell and I don’t want to change anything about it, I just want to learn about the Diablo tuner‘s. Is there any problem with blowing up the engine or like that? 7 speed manual, AFE Cold Air intake, lowered on factory bolts. Stage 2 aero package. Last owner removed (# 14?) CB TO KEEP EXHAUST FULLY OPEN ALL THE TIME.( part of tune?)
Thank you very much Jimi

You ask a lot of questions ....if I don't answer them all PM me
What kind of Diablo Tune do you have , a canned tune or a custom tune ?
Diablo canned tunes are conservative so no worry about blowing up the motor
A custom tune from Diablo Lew or others is less conservative but still really safe

No it will not blow your motor up unless something was wrong with the motor beforehand.......
You can leave AFM on ( 4 cylinder mode ) if you like or turn it off in the tune , but with stick car there is no need to turn it off as 4 cylinder mode only is active in ECO mode

A diablo only access the ECM or depending on what Diablo you have the TCM , a diablo does not access any other module so all else stays the same

There is a lot of stuff in the ECM and TCM where you can change parameters but if you don't know what you are doing ... inwould advise not to touch it .

You can clear codes with it also

Anthing else , feel free to PM me

Dave
