Help get me back up to speed please

[Vinny]

The car is a 02 Ram air Trans am auto. The Diablo is U7198 that is original and the version is 2.13. I haven't been around for a while and I need tips to get caught up. It has the performance tune in it that came with the programmer with a few adjustments for shifting and the lot. The car has LTs and cat back exhaust with no cats. It has a lid and thats about it except a trans-go kit in the trans. Do I need to check the air/fuel ratio and adjust because of the long tubes? It seems to run a little rich after removing the cats. Or is this normal. Do I need a new revision and if so what am I missing?

Come on guys get me up to speed. I tryed to search but there is so much to wade through I thought just asking may be easier,

Thanks guys!

you need to modify the tune, and disable the COT since you don't have cats anymore... and you need to disable the rear O2 sensor codes... you can do all that yourself with that version predator...

I have disabled the cot and the rear o2s. Anything else?

do a steady cruise on the highway, with your rpms around 1800-2000... see what your LTFT's are reading.. (long term fuel trims)...

then, modify the tune and adjust your injector slope to the opposite amount...

i.e. if your fuel trims are reading +4.xxx... then adjust your injector slope to -4.... if they're reading +2.xxx, then adjust your injector slope to -2.....

other than that, you could get a custom tune written for your car by a diablosport custom tuner (like me) for even more giddy-up... better throttle response, acceleration, stronger/harder pull, etc....

Here's info about my custom tuning:

http://www.diablewtune.com/

Normally $105... but I have a holiday special going on right now, for only $85!! Buy now while the price is low, before it goes up again at the first of the year...

there are links on there to all the info and apps you'll need - i.e. what files I need, how to export/import tune files, how to do a data log correctly, and what parameters to data log, my paypal info, etc etc...

as well as a link to a small sample of just some of the "Testimonials" I've received from people I've done my tunes for - makes for good reading, hehe.

Thanks for asking man!!
