get it tuned at a shop not the diablo tune the diablo tune will only give you like 9 more horsepower and only like 6 peak horsepower.

I made 340rwhp and 360rwtq on a lid/K&N/smooth bellows and full tune with new MSD wires and fresh plugs. Other than that, the car was stock down to the muffler.

On the first run though, before the tuning began the car put down 325rwhp and 340rwtq.

Stay away from the diablo tuner and invest in HPtuners for around the same money... It will be a whole lot more useful to you in the end.

I thought lighter flywheel will yield more hp, and heavier will give you more torque..

Hmmm never thought about that. How does the ls2 flywheel compare to the stock one in an 02 ls1 car? (not sure whether to refer to it as an ls1 or ls6 flywheel)

The ls2 flywheel is heavier than an ls1/6 for sure. How much more, I would say maybe 10lbs total for the flywheel and clutch.

these people are crazy, i bet most of them never owned a predator, especially the newer versions. ive got a half dozens tunes saved in mine

the diablo is fine, i've used it to get me to near 600hp and 10+ seconds.

its ideal for you bc, it will be easy for you to use. especially after you add the lid and ypipe, youll need to decrease your injector slope and increase your Power Enrichment, prolly like 5-10%

youll get a noticable difference in throttle response, so you "feel" it
