OK...well I should be getting my Jet 180* T-Stat today. Any final instructions on settings regarding the tune on the predator besides what Broadfca shared with me above (turning cooling fans down 23*)?

With your new 180 stat and those fan settings, your engine coolant temp should average around ...

I recieved my catch can yesterday from Diablo and the installation was very simple. I understand that the catch can serves as a potential safeguard more than anything, and I am okay with that. I do have one question though. Can you get replacement parts such as the plastic tubes you connect the PVC ...

Thanks Mike!

OK..ignorance speaking again. What does WOT stand for? Diablo needs to help the ignorant by making a glossary for these terms!

I'm just offering an alternative point of view instead of being a lemming, blinding throwing money at "mods" without a thought to why or worse without vetting the source.


And what school did you get your mechanics degree from?

I never claimed to know much about tuning, but the mechanical ...

Johan, do you any comments to make regarding the comment above?

There are some good quality headers out there, i am partial for the Kooks (have them on my own rides) and never had any leak issues.
You will love the way the Kooks sound a 5.7L, they do pick up decent power due to the poor design of the stock ones.
Head and cam usually do not affect MPG if the ...

I spoke with your tech team last week and they told me I would need a revision update to make the programmer work with my car. I was wondering when you would have this accomplished cause I am sitting on a programmer that is no good to me

Have faith, hopefully they will rectify the situation for ...

All depends on how the headers are installed... Headers seem to be prone to have the nuts come loose. You can invest in studs/nuts with a positive locking mechanism. It's a matter of cost. The best power and mpg modification would be forced induction... be prepared to pay in the vicinity of 10K.

I've had headers on 4 cars, and have never had a gasket leak. I always use Stage 8 locking bolts. And theres a definite power gain from them, always. That especially stands true on your 5.7, which has crummy exhaust manifolds.

Pick up a set of long tubes and tell the naysayers to F-off ...
