It REALLY is. There is one for sale near by for $250 but I told myself I wouldn't mod the car past what parts I had already collected until I turned 18... This was just a little way to cheat... haha.
Hahaha. I bought my GT right after I turned 18 and have done what I can when I can since then. I got most of the modding out of my system within a few months after I bought the car.
Its almost time for round two, lol.
And to be honest, 6.9 rwhp and 13 ft lbs tq are EXCELLENT gains for $175.
A TOP of the line FULL exhaust would struggle to give you much more than that. And it will run you well over a grand. And that won't give you all the options either.
The Diablosport can also tune you for fuel efficiency, and a new tune comes out every month if I'm not mistaken.
Plus, you can, as mentioned, recalibrate and all sorts of other stuff. EXCELENT product. A MUST have guys.
Yep. I was suprised that it responded like that. Not every car will have the same results. Some may be better, some may not be as good. Generally if you know what to tweak you can squeeze a little more out like I was able to.
Even with that I was still able to get 25mpg on the freeway with my 4.10's.
I was considering the predator or the sniper tuning ? what should I do thought I could tune my mustang for performance and tune my ford taurus for fuel mileage, you can tune two different cars with the sniper.
Both are good products, it just depends on what you want to do. Sniper tuning software is a little more involved on the user end from what I know. Which isnt a bad thing.
From what I have read/heard they have a great product.
So let me get this straight, i've always wondered.
You have your 'canned tune' that runs on premium octane, and has the spark advanced a little bit.
THEN- on TOP of that tune that already give you like 10 HP or so, you can mess with the spark advance some MORE yourself?
Pretty much so.
My Diablosport had been through two owners before I bought it. The origional owner bought it from RPM Outlet for a Mach-1. They put the canned Predator tune on it.
The next guy to buy it ran it on his '02 GT.
I bought it after him. I installed the "canned" tune, which I didn't notice a whole lot but it did help out a little on the top end.
I used it to tune for my gears, and turn my CEL off for my X pipe.
Then I put the car on the dyno. The A/F ratio was lean (they lean the fuel out and add timing in most cases on a canned tune). I added some fuel to bring it down and started adding some timing in after that.
I ended up making the 6.9rwhp and 13 lbft on top of what the canned tune allready gave me. I didn't dyno the car without the tune, so I couldn't tell you how much the canned tune itself gave me, but the butt dyno says nowhere over 7-10rwhp.
