DiabloSport Hand-Held Tuner Question First of all, this is probably a dumb question to ask people who know tuning.
I am very mechanically inclined and know enough about getting horepower, but tuning is above my horizon right now. You gotta start somewhere.
Anyways, I have a 2000 Firehawk M6. Awhile back, I ordered SLP's 400HP PerformancePac, which is basically an intake make-over, hgher ratio rockers, full exhaust, & a pre-programmed DiabloSport tune. Well, not having a lift, I physically couldn't put the headers on feasibly, so I took it to a shop for the exhaust and tune.
I guess my question is this:
What is this pre-programmed "tune" really doing for me? A ton of people on this forum (and people I know) do all this intake & exhaust work without a tune.
Am I really getting what I paid for?
And again, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. Thanks in advance.

While people may make these changes without tuning for them, they are missing out on quite a bit of power by not having the tune optimized for the aftermarket parts.

SLP installs these kits on a few cars and develops safe, reliable calibrations for the kits, which allow you to plug and play without the need for custom tuning when you get the kit installed.

I believe it's part #SLP7196....
