No two cars are the same, So a tune that works for one guy is not going to work for another.... There is a guy by the name of "06MonteSS" on LS1GTO, he is a master with the Diablo Tuner. If you hook up with him over PM he will run you through what to do... Most likely he will have you log some runs with the tuner and have you send him the file. From there he will tweak it and send it back to you untill it runs perfect... I highly recomend you talk with him.... I'm not sure if he's a member here or not but im to lazy to search lol... Check him out.

More than likely hes running real lean..... I wouldnt waste my time with a diablo tuner, IMO i would get a dyno tune done with HP tuners.... Best way to get the most out of his car, You could do it with a diablo but you limited to what you can do....
