diablo tune: poor performance
I have a 2014 Challenger RT the only modification I have is the catback (Flowmaster).
I flash tune the ECM with trinity T-1000 I installed the "diablo tune". Took the vehicle for a ride and noticed a loss In performance. Confused with this tune??? I thought I would increase HP.
So instead...
I installed the 91 octane tune. I do get a good response but it feels just like regular stock.
Any suggestion?

Re: diablo tune: poor performance
Log knock retard. Hemis knock. The head design is awful. It causes tons of hot spots, which causes knock. Its like a half assed partial hemi, mostly pent roof with various globs of metal stuffed in random places. You gotta dial that out or you'll definitely lose power.

Re: diablo tune: poor performance
Thanks for the advice. I will start logging the vehicle using the trinity.

Base spark: 30
Spark advance: 12 (+- 2) @ idle.
With the "diablo install" and "91 octane install"
Took it for a drive.. Not good at all.
Im going to install the stock setting. I get better performance.

Re: diablo tune: poor performance
Log "ST KR" and "LT KR". Thats way more important than spark advance.

Monitored:
ST Knock 0.00
LT Knock 0.00
Took the vehicle for a ride and it maintained Knock at 0.00 through all RPM range.

At all throttle positions? Thats very weird. I've never seen that on any Hemi, not even a stock one.

Yes, ST knock and LT Knock stayed at 0.00 through all RPM ranges and throttle positions.
I will run it again and record it.

Installed the original tunes. Was getting frustrated and just getting on my nerves that a $500 dollar device decreased my horsepower not satisfied. The original tunes gives me a better throttle response.

I have never heard of that as well on a Hemi engine. My Hemi stock, knocks like crazy.Mike_Levy wrote:At all throttle positions? Thats very weird. I've never seen that on any Hemi, not even a stock one.

Re: diablo tune: poor performance
Mike brought it to my attention so I will be doing some test runs.
I currently installed the original OEM tunes. I'm planning on logging OEM, diablo tunes option and 91Octane option. Once I purchase the 2gig SD drive. I installed a 16 gig SD drive and would not read it.

You can do all that data logging without an SD card.

Re: diablo tune: poor performance
So I monitored my challenger rt with the original pcm parameters. Checked for knock and rpm. I got the same results (knock: 0.00) through the whole rpm range. Could it be that my trinity is not responding?

Go to hemifevertuning.com and Sean can get it sorted out. I was experiencing the same issues with my stock 2011 300C 5.7, Sean unleashed the "Beast Within" on my 300. I am now very happy running Sean's tune.
