Besides if you port your heads and do cams, you'll choke the car without the supporting parts, etc. throttle body, intake, CAI, exhaust, tune, those are all pivotal parts in your build. Good luck

hate to tell ya bud but a mildly bolt on gt with heads and cams will RAPE a bolt on gt... a fully bolt on gt will go 12.9-13.0 with a good driver... a head cam tune gt will go 12s no problem....

no it wont it depends on what size cam and the head work.and the driver.i have beat plenty of head and cam gts in the quater but i dont have any top end because im an auto with 4:10s..all i have is bolt ons.. if you just have heads and cams.. with nothing else but like a cai.. he is only gonna make like 260hp.. dude dont even have exhaust yet.. so thats really gonna kill the power too..

I would go with the Diablo and the full exhaust first. Without either of those items you will never get the full benefit of any cam and/or head upgrade. With these items you will still notice a significant gain. That being said, if you go cam and heads first, you can still upgrade the exhaust later. The Diablo may be required for the cams, depending on the profile. The beauty of the Diablo is it's designed to retune after upgrades- just like you are talking about doing. Just my opinion!

yeah. exactly how can you tune it though my friend tuned mine for the day but i never really watched what he was doing (diablosport). do you have to choose the parts you have or does it recognize it? what about wheels and tires since i upgraded to 18s?

to tune with the diablo sport is easy just plug it into the obd 2 port thats by your right knee when sitting in the drivers seat make sure the ignition is off the sport turner will automatically come on once pluged in and its going to ask a series of questions and give you a series of options just answer yes or no it is easy but to get the most out of it i recomend putting the car on a dyno to make sure you are still running safe but its a great investment you could do soo much with it and you could always return the car to stock if you screw up some were
