Default DiabloSport Predator - Opinions?

Does any own a DiabloSport Predator Flash Programmer (U7140) for their V6 Mustang? If so is it worth the money?

I am looking for a little increase in horsepower but I really just want to reduce the shifting lag for a little extra "Seat of your Pants" sort of throttle response and torque.

Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

heres my opinion, buy a sct tuner. either a sctx3,sf, or live wire( which is the pricy one) the sct is the industry standard for ford mustang tunerists.( is that a word?) ive got chris rose from tillman speed working on a hot shift trans tune right now. ive got a tune he just sent me to try, and if its not hot enough, hes gonna tip the scale on the next round. i want a neck snapper. hang in there, he wont be around next week, but after that hes gonna nail this tune if this new one isnt it. i1ll be posting when it comes together. in the meantime, his race and performance tunes run real good.

buy an sct tuner i have the sf3 which ran 375 at americanmuscle. chris rose at tillmanspeed customed a 91oct tune that makes my car run smoother than stock with a HUGE differance in throttle response shift firmness and more torque you cant go wrong and customer service is GREAT

I have a Diablo and am happy with it.

Get a custom tune thought to get the most out of it and your car.

I used Bamachips.

I have a diablo with a custom 93 race tune. i couldn't be happier.

sct is more specific to the parameters in which you can modify.
if you are like me, and don't want to touch the tune after you installed it, or want to just change a few little things, the diablo is safe, reliable, and perfect for the job.

if you want to mess around with it a lot more, go with the sct.

after i installed my cai/tune, it was like night and day. and i have never had a problem since. and changing the tune to accommodate for the 4.10 gear ratio was very very simple.

is it worth the money? absolutely.

they are both excellent tuners but imo the diablo is more user friendly.

goodluck!

Default Thanks

Thanks for the help everyone. Now all I have to do is choose between what sounds to be two awesome tuners.
