Diablo Sport - How well does it work and is it easy to use on a 06 Mustang 4.0L with a K & N CAI and dual exhaust?

Just FYI, your exhaust has nothing to do with a tuner.

Diablo and SCT are the 2 big ones. SCT might be a little more popular since more custom tuners make tunes for SCT than Diablo. Bamachips is the only custom tuner I know of who makes custom tunes for the Diablo, but I have absolutely no complaints about my tune or tuner. It is easy to use, plug it in and punch a few buttons and you're burning rubber!

I use the "Little Devil" with the 93 octane firm shift canned tune, and It was a HUGE improvement over stock. I am sure that if I were to persue a custom tune it would even be better, but that is a "future" mod for me, while I concentrate on other things. For now, I am very happy with the canned tune. It is as simple as plug in, follow directions, and drive. My wife could have loaded it. And she is a blonde

A custom tune is a world of difference from the canned tune. I could tell a little bit of difference with the canned tune, but the custom tune made it feel like a whole new car!

I got the DiabloSport Predator for my 06 Mustang 4.0. It takes 87 octane, I set the Diablo for the 93 tune and put 93 gas in it. Will this hurt my car?

No it won't. As long as you run the gas equal to, or greater than the tune, you'll be fine. In other words... 87 gas on a 93 tune = bad. 93 gas on an 87 tune = ok. 93 gas on a 93 tune = best.

I put about 60% 93 & 40% 87 gas in it and gave the tune on 93. Will I need to adjust the tune to lower than 93?
