The Pro Racer Package is a little over $700.00. It comes with the X-cal II and all the software to tune your car. I am not sure if they said they would be releaseing the PRP yet.

Hmmmm so they will both be out at the same time! And only reason im going to use SCT is that Garrett is going through them. So I figured I don't want to mess with the tune to much exspecially since there both working together on the whole thing.

But again Diablo is also a very good company.

i would go with SCT just for the ability to run multiple tunes....daily conservative tune, and a race tune...n then keep the stock tune as the third one

Yes and no. Both Diablo and SCT dealers have to make a basic tune for you at there shop seeing as how both have not said wether or not the will release the PRP or CMR package at release. So in the beginning, you will have to get a tune created by a dealer for both. This is from my understanding. But dont quote me on this since we are still speculating.

I thought the Diablo, Predator, Had three stock tunes, Stock Modified Stock F/I, than you change parameters using the buttons on the predator.

You can only adjust thngs with it. you can not create a tune. You can play with the rev limiter and adjust the spark and other small things, that is it.

I finaly got to talk with the guys at SCT. they are looking for manual tranys to use for the development. they dont have any plans right now for the automatics. they said they would keep me informed when they are ready for an automatic to use as a development platform.

So what kind of power #'s are we looking at if we get one of these with just I/E??? It seems like it wouldnt be too much of a boost unless you go turbo with it, but then again maybe im wrong but thats why im asking.

A good tune with those mods should net you about 5-7 HP & 3-5 Tq to the wheels.

The more mods you have the more power you will get with a tune. We are not going to gain any more then 15 MAX! with a tune. But over all driveabilty will be better and you can take full advantage of the mods you have.

That sounds better, now that its getting hot im starting to HATE my car tho, its such a piece of **** with the AC on!!!!!! Its like you go to accelerate and it can barley get out of its own way. Does any one else hat that as much as i do!?!?!?!?!?! I know that a tune wont help that but i just felt like venting it a bit.

End of raunt.

Just curious as to what exactly a raunt is? lol just messin.

But yeah once the AC goes on its like it automatically becomes a flintstones mobile lol. It would probably actually be faster if i started to use push my car to move it lol.
