Diablo Predator Programmers Has anyone else had issues with the Diablo Programmer? I bought one for my 01 z28 and am currently missing two programs from it. I have one the only camaros with a top speed limiter on it because my car had t rated tires on it when I bought it. The limit for t rated tires is 118 mph. I am missing the skip shift elliminator program and the top speed limiter program from my Diablo. I called the dealer on it and they said that I can either email them for instructions on downloading the performance tune and sending it to them to fix, or send them the programmer. I told them to send me the instructions and the one they sent does not match the menu options on my programmer. So now I am stuck until they open up on Friday (If they are even open then). I need some opinions on previous problems or what to do. I can't get a full dyno until the limiter is gone.

I can't do that either. I went to alter parameters and clicked on the speed limiter part, it says no program available. It isn't there. The menu is, but no program.

see, the other problem I have is that the menu lists on the instructions they sent me do not match the menu list on the predator. So therefore I have a performance download but cant get it changed into a readable format and moved to the pc to email. WTF

Kurt, the base tune was supposed to do that, but of course with my luck it did not. I was screwed out of some programs that I paid for. So I am a little disturbed with the company. Tomorrow will be interesting when I talk to them.

mine says that smae thing, not available....i have a 2000 ws6 that came with z rated tires. that means the predator did its job and deleted the top speed limiter. put the stock tune in and see what it says. if u can adjust it then it did its job if u can then it didnt have one ...

It did not do its job, the car stalls, jerks, and so on at 118 mph. It has been that way since I bought it. What else would it be? I bought the car brand new and asked the dealer about it. They told me it was the safety setting because of the speed limiter.

The biggest thing that gets me is that the advertisement for this thing says it includes all of that stuff. I shouldn't have to do anything but load and change things. This is a hassle. I am going to call them tomorrow and have them walk me through what they need on the phone. What a pain. I appreciate the feedback responses.

I just installed mine on monday it didnt eliminate the skip shift on mine either i contacted them and so far have been helpful and even offered to tweak the tune a bit which i hope helps because im a little underwelmed by the gains also i have picked up some detonation even with 100 octane in the tank which i will not be running all the time at $ 4.50/gal Im having alot of trouble interfacing the predator with my PC (cant get them to talk to each other) Im also anxious to see what tomm brings - I talked to a secretary there on wed afternoon and she tells me they are working tomm so...good luck bro
