Yes, a custom tune would be nice once you get headers.

won't be 100%... because the predator only changes things in wide sweeping rpm ranges, unlike a custom tune where things can be adjusted more and with much better pinpoint accuracy...

plus, you will need a custom tune to disable the necessary trouble codes anyway... can't do that with the predator...

you can't do it yourself, but it may already be done in the diablo preset tunes...

only the Diablosport CMR tuning software can open/edit the diablo predator/trinity tune files...

if you're interested in purchasing it, contact diablo's sales department... it's available for $2,500.00... ;)


if you just need a custom tune for yourself/your vehicle, I do custom tuning and can hook you up... shoot me a PM if interested...

how custom can you get? is it as specific as say hptuners or efi live?


as an example could you set up some sort of lean cruise on the 05-06 cars? make TC kick in faster ... things like that ?

no.. lean cruise was only available on 2004 gto's, due to their pcm was different, from holden australia...

no lean cruise is available on 05, 06.... U.S. ecm/tcm combo, not a single pcm for both...

yes, diablo's software is like the other tuning software...
