i have an 02 trans am A4. only mods so far are hooker long tubes, slp lid. i called a local shop to get a tune done and asked if the diablo tuner would work. the manager told me that diablo handheld won't be able to help tune the engine, and he's trying to get me to come in and pay 450 for a dyno and then 300-400 for a custom tune, but said that it probably won't work on the first try and it can take up to 6 or 7 times before it's right at 300-400 a pop. Is he full of ****?

yes, absolutely!
can use the predator to tune that, for getting the basics done... and I can do a custom tune for it for ya for about 1/3 of that...
wow, that guy's NUTS....

marylandspeed.com has the best deal on 'em.. $279, and free shipping...
also, you have to make sure you get the pc interface kit for it (sold separately)... you need that to be able to connect the predator to your Windows PC in order to download recorded data logs and import/export tune files for custom tuning...
they charge $30 for the interface kit with you buy it at the same time as the predator...
