    OK, the diablo guys an idiot...please help me with tune

    A little late now that I've given them $348. Its $218 for the chip plus $90 for a custom tune. So I got the Stage 3 for $318 which gives you the above plus reserves a 3rd spot for later which they'll reburn for free. Can a local tuner reprogram that chip? I'd hate to have just wasted $348.

    OK, the diablo guys an idiot...please help me with tune

    So I called RPM Outlet becuase after the Diablo install the car is shifting at 6K. So he says to send it back then transfers me to some guy to get a return authorization number. This is also the guy I'm supposed to tell how I want the chip reprogrammed, thats gotta be a bad sign. The guy doing...

    Tach Recommendations/Installation

    Ok, so I don't wanna look like an idiot with a 5 inch tach on the dash of my automatic. However, I know the factory tach sucks and with this new chip the factory tach is reading in the 6K range. The optimum shift point is 5470 for 1st gear. If the tach is off 5-600 rpm I don't wanna call...

    Any advantage to 6200 rpm shifts?

    Thats assuming the stock tach is accurate. I've heard it can be 5-600 rpm off at that high.

    Any advantage to 6200 rpm shifts?

    Yes, I'm running a stock cam. I got a Diablo Chip today and its holding onto 1st gear to 6000-6200 rpm's. It shifts everything else at 5000-5200 range. It feels like its out of the power band going that high. Kind scared me at first, I got off it just as it finally shifted into 2nd. Theres a...

    Any advantage to 6200 rpm shifts?

    The new chip is shifting at 6200 vs 5200. Is 6200 too high?

    To those with the Diablo Chip

    Yes, it definitely fixed the 2-3 shift issue. Thank God. What do you mean by "balloon" ? Any idea what the whine is coming from above 5200 rpm? Whats the 6200 shift wth in et?

    To those with the Diablo Chip

    I just installed a Diablo Stage 3 chip. Now I hae a few questions. Stage 2 feels alot better than Stage 3. Is Stage 3 programmed, or is it reserved for future use? Stage 3 feels like stock. In stage 2 the car rev's to 6200 rpm before it shifts out of first. Is that safe? It sounds like a high...

    To the guys with 4.10's and the AODE - Does it need a chip???

    Found out its $318. A regular Diablo chip is $218 but I need a "custom" chip because it needs to be setup for the 4.10's. At least the reprogramming is free for future mods. It'll be here Monday.

    To the guys with 4.10's and the AODE - Does it need a chip???

    Well, I ordered a stage 3 chip from diablo today. The computer was a pin in the a$$ to get out though. It'll be here on Mon or Tues, I'll update you after the install.

    To the guys with 4.10's and the AODE - Does it need a chip???

    Yep, out near Joliet. I'm glad all I need is a chip. Do you think those track times are because of the shifting problem? The 1-2 shift is great, but that 2-3 is terrible. Well there goes another $225.

    To the guys with 4.10's and the AODE - Does it need a chip???

    Look what it did to my 1/4 mile times. I don't think I'm hitting the rev limiter though. Will a diablo chip help?

    To the guys with 4.10's and the AODE - Does it need a chip???

    No, it's shifting at close to 6K and the rpm surge during the shift like its slipping. The shift is was too smooth. I don't remember it doing this before the 4.10's. It shifts fine when I'm driving normally. I only get this at WOT.

    To the guys with 4.10's and the AODE - Does it need a chip???

    After installing the 4.10's the car is shifting bad during the 2-3 shift. It feels like its slipping really bad. Do I need to get a custom chip to tell the computer about the gear change since 4.10's weren't a fatory option? Can the 4.10's cause this type of problem? Who do you recommend for the...

    HOW TOUGH IS IT TO INSTALL A SHIFT KIT?

    I was looking at the trans go performance shift kit. They claim it can be installed with the trans in the car. It also has an "instructional" video. Anyone done this? Just wondering how tough it is to do on your back with trans fluid dripping in your eyes. Thanks!
