Bad news for 07 LS4's I talked with diablo sport today, and they said that they wont have a predator for 07 imp's mc's and gxp's for "some time" They also said that "they are not working on it now, but they will have a predator for 07's in the future."
So that means that I will buy a laptop and the software for HP tuners.
Does HP tuners have "canned tunes" like the diablo sport does?

I wish they would either say when they will get the TCM support on the 06's instead of soon. I've never seen "soon" defined anywhere near nine months, at least that's how long I've heard that one. My neighbor has HP Tuners for his Z and offered to let me use it if I paid for the license fee. I should have taken him up on it when he offered last fall. The Diablo is really good, no mistakes about it. The package is just not complete with out the TCM.

That's the reason that its better to just go ahead and get the HPTuners. Diablo makes good products but damn when a company says it will be out "soon", soon means "We actually have no idea if we will ever get this out, but us saying soon will keep you waiting forever". The main reason I have not bought a Diablo tuner is for the lack of Tranny support. Almost a year ago they started with the "TCM support will be here soon" and well it's not here yet. I actually feel sorry for the people that are buying the Diablo or will buy one vs just buying the HPTuners. Yes the HPTuners are more expensive, but will do more things then the Diablo will ever think of being able to do. Yes you need a Laptop, but you can get brand new laptops for $299 and I know people would use it for more then just tuning and scanning a car thus making it a good investment not just a "car toy". Just throwing in my $.02, and no I don't care if this really hurts anyones feelings, it's the truth and we all know it.

I know the wifey is buying a laptop in the near future to use for school. I may consider the "upgrade" to HP if they don't talk to the TCM soon.
I will say this, though, the predator is damn handy. Fits in the flip-n-fold nicely, and is much smaller than a laptop. We'll see what happens.

I asked diablo on may 27 if they could guess when they would have tcm support.
The answer: I hear you guys loud and clear!!
If it was up to me, you'd have TCM support already.
We are currently expanding our product lineup and much of our engineering resources are being pushed in that direction, but we are constantly updating all of our part numbers and will not forget about you guys.
