Diablo Tune??

Went into Mopac today looking to get a quote on a tune. he said the tune he'd use is called the Diablo tune and its one of the better ones. Just wondering if anyone has heard of it or have it done to their car

he claims it will give me up to 35hp and better feul range for $375



does anybody have any adivice as to which i should go with this or check out a different shop....

let me know

Ive never heard of it before. Most people use trifecta. I'd go to a different shop anyways though cause they ripped me off badly last time I was there

Stick with what you know is good. Around the SS/SC community that seems to be HP Tuners. SS/TC seems to be Trifecta. Just from what Ive read at least

My friend has a Diablo tune on his Mustang GT. I know a lot of SRT 4s use it too. Just stick with what everyone else uses. I have an HP Tuners tune and I like it. I've heard good things about Trifecta too, though.

hes simply the guy with the equipment, the tuning is all done by vince, who runs trifecta. Robs a good guy, he usually organizes the meets here and such, but hes been out of country for a few months.

For tuning, you set up a day to do it, rob gets ahold of vince, he sends a base tune, you put it in, then do some data logs, email the logs to vince, he makes any changes needed and do that back and forth until the tune is right.

Vince has done a ton of tunes for all model cobalts on here, he can raise the rev limiter to where you want it, get rid of the governor, get rid of the Pe delay, get more horsepower and torque while getting better gas mileage. Very respectable tuner on here, im getting mine this spring.

I'm back in town and can arrange for a night/weekend tune anytime if you want... I can also meet you where-ever and I can come up with a better tuning rate than what was quoted to you.. plus I'm local as well . Or if you want to make a trip to Mission, we can hit up raceway on a night and we can run you down the track for a better tune if you want. Makes datalogging a dream.

your car hasnt been tuned since you did the turbo conversion? Best be careful you can do some damage if thats the case

i got a question, why are you tuning your car if your selling it? You posted this thread after you posted the car for sale.
