no it's not.. that's average for used prices... since they're $369 new...
I actually see them around other forums for about $250......

did you restore the original backup to unlock it?

ATM, since I owned one before and knowing its limitations, I'm willing to pay no more than $100 for this unit, plus reasonable shipping.

he also has the cable for it. That would set you back another $25 or so.

I plan on restoring it once it sells. I will take offers. Just let me know.

I'm sure this has been discussed, but what limitations are you talking about?

Not going to get into it here in this thread...it's a good deal for anyone else at $200, and am not trying to squash a possible sale. Read up on the many other Diablo threads here. Biggest qualm is the lack of Transmission tuning support and Diablo's never-ending promise of said support.

Also, price-wise, since a few of us got a helluva deal on a group purchase when I got mine, I laugh at the Retail price comparison...so I'm a little biased at the resale price.

If you have a cam etc you will likely need a dyno tune from what I have heard. But for bolt on and stock cars these handhelds do the job nicely. My car feels much more lively with the diablo tune installed for sure. Also the tcm support is available on SOME applications but not on all I thought? Maybe I'm wrong here. I see what you're saying though man.

Yeah, much like all other aftermarket companies, they spent very little time with/on the LS4...so no trans support here. You bigger guys got all the attention, and continue to do so

Is it true that the tune, if installed with DOD on, makes the car jerk?

no, they fixed that issue...

but, if for some reason it does still do it, due to being on an older revision, I can make you a custom tune to get rid of that issue....

Hmmm.... And you're strictly talking about the Diablo tune that you can custom modify? And that has been updated to not "jerk" when DOD activates? Where would you get the updated tune from? Thanks!

yes... any predator tune I can modify... you'd send me a copy of the diablo tune from outta your car, I'd make some adjustments to it and save it as a new tune file and send that back to you, you import it into your predator as a custom tune, then you install the "Custom Tune" to your car.

After getting you to do a custom tune would I have to dial in my ltfts again? Just curious how that works. Thanks.
