That's cool. It works for me as is. I don;t have the money for HP so I can live without tweaking the TCM for now.

I give my post about 5 more mins before the "HIGHER POWERS ABOVE" remove it because DS is a sponser on here. I really could care less if they are or not, because taking someones money and offering a product that is only 80% ready is not right in my book.

So, come after me all you want because I will keep posting this untill the day DS gets there **** right...!!!

BTW, Have I ever said how much I like Vector Motorsports canned tune???

I'm starting to hate the idea of this tune because I believe it will cause more apathy in correcting the TCM issue. Anyone wanna buy my tuner?

I agree they should fix it and add TCM support. They advertise "All standard" features but this tool and others do not include them. At least with this change I can use and enjoy the tunes.

For me that's a win for the DOD surge battle, but certainly not the war. Go Taz!

More apathy? How could you get anymore from them? It’s not hard reading between the lines. They've said "small market" too many times. I do not believe they will do TCM or support other LS4 cars. A class action suit would be the only pressure and the market for that is too small even for an ambulance chaser who is down on his luck.

Try the change, at least you can use the tune.

may have to look into removing the TM from certain parts again, but leaving it in for the shifts...
Now that you mention it, I want to say that maybe I did feel that it did not climb as quick through RPM's, but fairly close. Can you update me on what you find out from them concerning this?

I meant customer apathy really. I don't want this mod to appease the anger and frustration of the customer base.

While they no longer make up pretend dates or progress on support on their website, I did catch where (a scant week or so apart) they wrote that there would not be any 07+ support because of that small market and an answer to a direct question in their forum about a tool being released, where it surely coming soon...

The Diablo people learned from the Clinton's; say whatever you think people want to hear at that moment and pretend you never said it when called on it.

Even Lew, the staunchest supporter of Diablo (at least the staunchest not on their payroll) was pretty fired up about the idea of ditching the reduction in torque in his tune. Says something right there about the usefullness (or lack thereof) of their current LS4 release.

hehe... thanks (i think... haha)

actually, these new tunes do not ditch the torque reduction / torque management - it's actually putting more of it back in...

what they did for these new tunes was set the TM back to the stock/OEM tune settings...

I would like to see where they put that because I have talked directly to Mike and he said they are working on them.. Which I do not believe, but I never heard they dropped the 07/08 support.
