Default Diablo on a not quite stock tune

I just bought a used Diablo, already reflashed, and before I bought it I didn't even think about if it was ok to use on my car. When I got my manifold and pulley installed at Outlaw they also deleted my EGR/AIR those codes as well as bumped down the temp the fans go on and removed TM. I just was reading through the Diablo manual and it says that it must be set to stock tune before using it. Will it be ok to use? I have tried contacting Diablo in the past with other questions and they aren't the easiest to get ahold of and/or respond so I thought I would ask here first. Thanks

The Predator is returned to stock and unlocked, thats not my question. The tune on my car right now is slightly modified prior to the Predator. In the manual it states before using the Predator you need to currently have a stock tune on your car before using the Predator and it may mess things up if you try to use it on a modified tune.

My bad-- you need to see a dealer and have the pcm reflashed to stock.A friend on the inside would be good.Otherwise the predator probably wont allow communication with the PCM.Good luck

hmmm thanks. Any idea how much a dealer would charge for this? Hopefully its free I was trying to decide whether I should sell it and just wait to get it dyno tuned, maybe this is the best option for me.

Should be no charge... tell them that you heard there may be a factory calibration update available and be cool.

most will charge you 1 hour of time for the update.

It takes an honest 8 minutes to do, with a Tech 2 and TIS software. (tools most people don't have access to)
