Hey everyone, im a newbie haha, w/ a Mustang Gt 02, i was going to get 4.10gears and a K&N filter, now to the diablo i read that you get increased HP, n torque, but since my car is completly stock execpt the gears n filter i was thinkin to buy, could i buy the chip now and would it matter if i later on instaled other things or would i have to buy a new chip again for it to be customed to the new stuff? or could i just reconfigure it?

you can send the chip back and have it reflashed for your new mods

Just as an FYI - you guys are aware that Diablo dealers don't do their own programming or write their own files? They take your information - modifications and computer code and search the dealer database for a file that matches. If they find one that is a match it's reasonably inexpensive to have your chip re-burned. If not, it's what they call custom programming - this means they have to send your information to Diablo and have the guys at Diablo write the file and put it in the database.

There seems to be a misperception about what some Diablo dealers do. My understanding is that Diablo is working on something new (at least to them) called Revolution - which will give dealers/tuners the ability to write their own files.

I talked to a dyno shop today that recommends Diablo and they are trying to get setup with the process that GT2000JAY mentioned. I can't wait!!! BTW I am also looking for a used chip or a really good deal on one as well. I'm planning ahead for cams, gears and blower.
