this sat 1st time time to track with a diablo

[hitecmal]

I will see just what performace gains if any this Saturday at sgmp. The best et with the stock Ram to date is a 14.98 with consistant 15.00's.
I will be using the 87 octane tune with 93 octane fuel (i've notice some ping at the shift point).

[hitecmal]

all I can say is it was a total night mare. no it didn't go faster but et's were all over the place.
when I went to restore my back-up I got errors and could not do so. I think i'm going to sell it.

[djwintz]

should you not use 87 tune for 87 fuel, instead of 93? Just wondering. I did a test run on the stock tune and then did a few runs with the 87 tune with 87 fuel and gained .5 seconds in the 1/8 mile and 11 mph.

What are you driving? I got worse time in my 2012 ram 1500 with this pos tuner.

[djwintz]

2012 Ram 1500 Cat black duel exhaust and KN air intake.

[hitecmal]

i'm drivng a 2012 Ram I started with the 87 tune and ran a 15.98 the wosrt time ever the next run I change to the 91 tune and ran 15.53. Now it's time for elinations so i dialed in a 15.60 cut a .004 light and rand a 15.98 of course I lost. So I bought back in and was attenpting to remove the tune and restore the stock tune back in thats when I got the error unable to restore ...at that point the truck wouldin't start now it's panic time I'm way up in georgia and it won't start they're calling my class to the lane like i said it won't start I played with it for awhile then as I sat there with the key on woundering who I was going to call to come get me, and bam! the key alert chimmed just like that it started up although the check engine light was on I decided not to mess with it til I got home.

however I did continue to race it with the same rsults et's were up and down.

I will try to install the stock tune again on moday or tuesday and see what gives.

[hitecmal]

Dj Are you trying to tell me that the stock tune is faster then the 87 tune? No matter what the tune they all were slower than the stock tune. Consistency was out the door. I guess that's why they don't advertise drag strip comparison times.

On another note today I tried to restore my original factory settings and the darn thing said trinity is not married. To add insult to injury the truck runs like a dog so I installed a tune disabled the traction control and fired it up the engine had a notice grunt at idle. I once again restored factory settings started it up and the traction control was still disabled after restarting the truck about three times it finally cleared. This is not for someone who drag races as it has way too many glitches.
Is it true you can return this turner with in a certain amount of time for a refund? Are you trying to tell me that the stock tune is faster then the 87 tune?

[hitecmal]

Larry what were your stock times compared to your tuner times?

[larry613]

Never been to the track but my 0-60 time stock was 6.4 seconds and on 93 octane i was running 6.8-6.9 seconds. Truck was alot slower tuned had the diablo guys look at my tuner said every thing was fine. I laughed asked him why my truck ran slower tuned he never replied go figure

[hitecmal]

wow looks like i'm gonna be selling mine.

[larry613]

It's a shame that this company has went to shit. They don't help the costumer or give any updates on fixing problems with the tuner. Its been over 8 months for me since i bought my trinty and all they say is there working on it. I know of plenty of folks that are pissed at this company with ram trucks. They release a tune but then can't get a truck back in to fix the shift points. When plenty of people have offered to bring there trucks in. Maybe they should car bully dog since there shift points work on there tuner lol.

[djwintz]

Hitecmal. I did a run on the stock tune then put in the 87 tune and gained 11mph and should of said took .5 seconds off with the 87 tune. I said gained meaning took off .5 of a second.

[hitecmal]

Wow that really impressive that's what I was looking for but unfortunately that’s the case for me. So why am I going the opposite way?

have you checked for Knock?

[hitecmal]

not sure how you check for knock other than hearing it and yes it did knock with the 87 tune and 87 oct. fuel right at the shift point when I added 93 oct. it went away.
