Default Diablo Sport II........

I just got one of these and I need someone to educate me because from what I read in the manual they say I can't do anything unless this thing is hooked to an air/fuel machine.I thought you could program your car when the Diablo came out of the box with.I'm talking about spark advance and performance enhancement.

I didn't know they had a "II". Maybe you can post
a link to the manual .pdf or something? It sounds
suspicious to me, probably just a marketing*lawyers
clusterfvck gone to print.

You're right,it's just a Diablo Sport.Don't know where I got that from.How much gain can I expect over the Predator tune with a custom tune?

I put my car back to stock from a Predator tune. I use 1/8 tank less fuel on a 90 mile round trip now. Throttle response down low is not as good but WOT performance seems the same. I am going with HP Tuners next week I believe.

Also the rev limiter settings do work correctly and you have to get a custom tune to change that. The gear ratio setting does not work correctly, you have to change tire size to get it to work. And to top it off it looks like custom tunes now cost big $

The Diablosport II is a Predator with "exclusive SLP custom power tuning" - saw it in their latest catalog - probably more info on their website.
