I just bought a brand new diablo predator handheld (U7191) for my 2006 Pontiac GTO w/ the LS2. I go to tune my car with the "diablo" performance tune and all is great seems to run fine through shifts and flooring it, up until I shift into 4th gear (or higher) and over 40 mph between 1800-2500 rpm (NOT WOT or anything just cruising) It begins to spudder, almost like uncontrollable jumping
Yesterday I went ahead and data logged with the tuner, and according to the DSLOGREDUX application I needed to increase my injector slope by 4%.. I Went ahead and did that but no change.. This diablo tune makes the car run real good and strong but as soon as you hit a consistent RPM it starts to spudder... usually in a higher gear after 40 mph and 1800-2200 rpm.. Like I said, I return the GTO to factory tune and the spuddering is gone... This was a brand new tuner and all I did was import the diablo tune(without adjusting parameters) and got this spudder...Real annoying....I'm getting bummed out after spending around 300 dollars and can't use the tune, anyone could help?? Thanks

I've honestly never seen such an issue...did you try restoring the stock tune to see if the issue persists?
