With what mods? That will be important to see what the final outcome will be.

SCT XCAL2 over it

SWEET2KSTANG · December 26th, 2006, 08:08 AM

i ran the superchips and the hypertech both and man was that a waste of money!!! i got the diablo instead and love it. all the reviews show great on the sct also. i would do CAI, T/B, and plenum before to open up the air flow and get max potential from tune.by itself you may be a little disapointed but more mods difference. check into gears also if you want a night and day difference

$460 is too much...dont get a chip get a tuner...SCT XCAL2...$400 with tunes....chips are no good...

mach03 · December 27th, 2006, 03:59 PM

I love my Diablo. Expandable and tuning suport on line.
Not to mention data logging and diagnostic abilities.
Just my 2 cents

GTSilver · December 27th, 2006, 04:01 PM

the diablos arent good for GT's...for some reason i've heard horror stories from 2 vavlers and stories of praise from 4 valvers...i dont know what it is about the 2v 4.6 that just doesnt agree witha a diablosport

mach03 · December 27th, 2006, 04:04 PM

lol thats probably why I like mine.
I'll have to ask around the club and see what experiance some of the other guys have had, I know alot of them are using the Diablo on their 2Vs.

SWEET2KSTANG · December 27th, 2006, 07:57 PM

i didnt like mine all that much when i first got it so i took it back and got everything else bolt on. i tried the hypertech and superchips, and of course both are junk. i thought about it a little and learned a few things and purchased another diablo. after learning a little on the programmer itself i love the hell out of mine! i never heard any problems out of the diablo just the users that dont know how to tune. it does take more than just the diablo tune, you have to go in and do more adjustments on the parameters but is a damn good programmer

mach03 · December 27th, 2006, 08:48 PM

Sweetstang took the words off my key board,
thats exactly what I came up with talking to a few friends today.
At first they wern't sure about the differance the diablo made, but after learning to use it they love it.

They are worth it not only in power gains but the moeny you would save in gas if your car was driven daily would pay for the chip un about a month

MSTGGT00 · December 28th, 2006, 08:12 AM

Not what I hear, some lunatic at the Shell station near me had one in his V6 and he thought he was all cool and he informed me his gas mileage got cut in half. I informed him to get a tuner.

my MPG increased with the tune but that is not what i am after. with the tune not only do i have more power, i still get better MPG. the chip set up really isnt worth it.

GTSilver · December 28th, 2006, 11:21 AM

yea idont realy worry bout gas mileage...the tuner makes a world of difference...sometimes i take my tune out to see whats what and after driving around without the tune i put it back in cuz it gives it that much more KICK!

TrueBlueGT01 · December 28th, 2006, 05:19 PM

Sniper tune installed, worked good ! Fine tuned 2nd time, worked great! I can create new tunes as mods are installed and fine tune it from there if I think it needs more. I screwed it up once , but Excellent cust. serv. and now I am going again! I think rpmoutlet.com has them on sale still for $399 with free shipping! Highly recommended!!! plus you can tune a friends car to split expense!
