Default LT Header tune?

I have been reading and looking at a great deal of posts and wanted to know about the tune after installing these. Will be deleting the AIR out of mine. Have a Diablo Sport II programmer and was wondering if this would be able to do the job? Cost of doing a tune for these? Just trying to get the budget in order to get this done and covering all of the bases.

I'm not really familiar with the Diablo, but I don't think it will do the trick in this case. Dyno tune is usually around $500 or so, and mail order tune is half that, or less in some cases. Or, you can bite the bullet and buy your own tuning software.

Appreciate the help on this. Do you know how much that software is? Might just have to break down and do that. Guess I can ask the people in the tuning section how to use it ahahaha!!!

You can get a mail order around here cheap and it'll be leaps and bounds above your handheld

There's a couple of different types, most people go with either efi live or hp tuners. You'll have to do a little research to see which one would work best for you. If you do decide to go that route, you'll probably want to pick up a wideband, as well.
