So my wife read about a tuner..


And said we should get one.

I Don't know, I don't think a CAI and Exhaust is enough to worry about getting a tuner. I'm a Manual tranny so I shift how I want anyways..

Would I get any Benefit from running a Tuner?

optimizing air/fuel ratio..Read and Clear DTC codes..if/when you get gears change the ratio on the computer to compensate, same with different rims if you ever go that route. It will do more for you then just modifying shift points, the diagnostic side is super helpful, not talking about look at codes and stuff but the live data monitoring it an can do, once you know how to set it up and read it.

Diablo can be used on as many cars as it's compatible for, but can only be married to one vehicle at a time. In other words, if you have a tune on your car, you can't program your buddies too.

SCT, i believe may be only used up to 5 different vehicles, also, one at a time.

You can use them 5 times. You have to make sure it is unlocked if you get a used one though.
And you can only use it on one car at a time.
