Default Is anyone running a Diablosport Trinity tuner on their V?

I'm looking to get one for my Magnum SRT8 but as long as I have it I was thinking about tuning the V to see how it reacts.

My V has Stainless Works long tubes mated to a Magnaflow Catback and a Volant CAI. I haven't touched the motor or tune otherwise.

I'm not planning on screwing with the tune at all. I would just upload a performance tune and then use it to monitor settings and clear codes. The primary use will be on the Magnum SRT8.

Unless I'm mistaken, you can't use the same unit on multiple vehicles. It's married to a specific vehicle once the tune has been uploaded.

Have you looked into SCT products? They have the capabilities to tune a ton of vehicles.

Forcefed, you are correct, you can only tune one car at a time. I am just curious as I was looking at the Trinity for my Magnum SRT8 but could play with the V before I part ways with it at the end of the year (when I estimate to have my wife's Challenger SRT8 rebuilt and registered).

I just looked up SCT and from what I read you have to pay for the tune for each car separately. From what I understand of the Trinity the tunes are pre-loaded and I can detune my Magnum SRT8 back to stock and tune the V to take to the track, etc. When I'm done I detune the car and retune the Magnum. I wouldn't go back and forth much, but once or twice maybe. The option of doing that for no additional cost is enticing.

The diablo is the only way to go with on the SRT8 cars. I have one on mine. Plus most custom tunes are only done through diablo sport tuners for hemi cars. Like hemi fever tuning. I have the trinity and it will do any GM,Ford, or Dodge car. One at a time though.
