I used it for a short time before I went to a cam and custom tune.

It was worth the money in my opinion, even with the canned tune. Even more so if you reach out to Lew for a Diablew tune.

I have the older Diablo Sport Predator. Definitely has a better throttle response, and it disables the CAGS. I bought a used one, so it was worth what I paid.

I really like mine on the 13 GS. I had Lew custom tune it and it's amazing

At $400 I would think you could get an hptuners tune which would be custom to your car. I would probably look into that personally. But a lot of that would depend on where you're located and where the tuner is

If you've got any mods, a custom dyno tune will be best.

If you do it I'd get the custom tune from Lew. The Diablo is good but with Lew's tweaks it made it that much better.

My son uses one for his 392 charger with custom tuning. Seems to work good. Data logs, easy to use. Hasn’t been on the dyno but other vehicles picked up 20-30hp//tq at the wheels.

I think the beauty of these units is they store the cars original tune so you can always go back to it. I have used mine when I fill up with higher octane and played on the track, then back to normal for economy.

a handheld is nice if you still have a warranty on the car. Need service work done? flash the stock tune back in, get the work done, then put the good tune back in.

Used intune i3 & Diablew, have to say the canned 93 tune woke the car up impressively, & after Lew was more responsive on WOT. Haven't dyno'd or tracked it, but SOP (seat of pants, you can use that now!) feel is noticeable. And think of cost... i3 with Diablew runs you ~$550, & can easily get a dyno/custom tune for maybe about the same or a little less, but as others have said, with Diablo you can easily go back & forth between custom & stock, so for the convenience that may be the deciding factor...
