I would not spend the money on this product.
If you want a hand held tuner, go for Superchips. It will tune the ECM and TCM. Diablosport can not tune the TCM.
If you want something better and can send your ECM/TCM in, go with vector Motorsports.
If you have alot of time on your hands and a laptop, get HP Tuners and learn how to tune your own car.
Best of luck.

Sorry I'm new to tuners..with the Diablo can you still at least remove the rev limiter?
And I am to understand that there is zero trans support(firming shifts etc)?

With Diablosport, you can remove the speed limiter as you can with the superchips.
Diablosport does not know what TCM is, there for you will never beable to tune your trans vs. Superchips. They know how to work with the TCM and have a good tune for it.

It's a decent handheld unit, but not at the MSRP price of $350 or so. If you can get one for $150 or less, go for it...it's worth about that much, imo. I had one a while ago, sold it b/c I wasn't really using it, and just recently purchased another one for $100. It's a bargain at that price.

AFAIK, no product will remove the factory rev limiter...and you are correct, it does nothing to the transmission.

What many people seem to want to overlook here is that it is more than just a 'tuner', it has datalogging capabilities (as well as pass through logging capabilities using our Dataviewer software on a PC) and acts as a scan tool to read and clear diagnostic codes.
It also gives you the ability to raise the factory rev limiter by up to 600 rpm, if you want more, you just met me or Lew know, and your all set.
Speaking of Lew, well, he may be the best selling point there is.
Cant beat having access to someone as knowledgeable about the product as he is, especially since he is so willing to share that info with any and everyone.
Cant say that about the competition...

and yeah, like Mike said, if you need anything adjusted more than what's allowable via the handheld itself, you can contact him or me and one of us can create you a custom tune for your car.

I'm not trying to ruffle feathers...and I'm not going to turn this into a Diablo-bash like others have. But, it seems like after all of the broken promises, your "bargain" at $375 isn't what you think it is.
I do like the unit's capabilities. Like I said, I bought another one after not having it for so long...but I never did nor would I ever buy one at your retail price, given its shortcomings.

after the turbo install, you should get it custom dyno tuned, so you can make sure your AFR is correct and everything is dialed in for that setup...
handhelds won't do it for ya... and I know your 2000 v6 impala is not supported by the predator... not sure about other handhelds, but don't think so... and they wouldn't really help ya with the turbo setup anyway...
