If it's not been VIN-locked already,

.......and your car is still on a stock tune; it's better than nothing.

You really need a full re-tune from a good reputable tuner who has EFI-Live or HP-Tuners.

Yes they are worth more than $50 unlocked
Locked they are code readers and you can data log with it

Plug it in a car and look at the last tune loaded

You need something better than that for your cam tuning though

If its unlocked a real good deal.

$50 is not too bad for a code reader\logger if you can use something like that, you will need a laptop and a serial cable and a usb adapter if you do not have a serial port.

Diablo can email you tunes based on your logged data that you can load with the Predator.



or you can sell it at a profit.
