Hypertech Inteceptor and Diablo Tune together?

Could you use the Hypertech Inteceptor and the Diablo Tune together on the 2011 Charger R/T? Would one compliment the other or would the Inteceptor create problems with the Diablo Tune.

No. Both are supposed to do about the same thing. One problem; The Hypertech is a piece of garbage. It doesn't do what its supposed to. Throw it away and put a real tune on the car.

Yeah, I wouldn't suggest it....the tune will add timing, then the other thing would trick the PCM into adding even more timing, then, Boom :)

TKS, will not try. And for Mike Levy, read the posts from the Durango forum on the Inteceptor. Should have bought a Dodge!

I owned 2 SRT8s. Wouldn't touch another one with a 10 foot pole. Why would I want a weak 470hp vehicle when I can have 555 with a pair of turbos that just needs a tune to be around 650? That would be stupid of me.

Likewise, I have experience with Hypertech, and you can extend that pole to 20 feet before I'd use their crap. I don't care what some people on a forum say. I've been modding cars for 18 years, I know what works, and Hypertech doesn't.

What is stupid of you is trolling the this forum when the BMW is not supported by Diablo. X5 M with all that HP/Torque and you still run 4.5 sec 0-60. Should have kept the SRT's. Do you have that tune to get you to 650? LOL

I'm not trolling genius. I've been here for 5 years, done BETA testing for them, have dealer access and even gave a quote for their advertising. I belong here.

I'm not tuned yet. I just bought downpipes. They have to go on first. I don't have the disposable income to drop $1300 on downpipes, $200 on coating, $115 on gaskets, $300 on installation and then spend another $1200 on piggyback tuning or $3000 for real tuning. Not to mention I just dropped $70k on the truck a month ago.

4.5 is a VERY conservative estimate from BMW anyway. The magazines continually pull 4.0-4.1 out of these and low 12 second 1/4s bone stock. It took me heads, cam, headers, etc., along with 4 transfer cases, to do that with a Jeep SRT8.

If I was going back to anything I owned in the past, it sure wouldn't be one of the SRT8s. It would be the CTS-V. But, I'm not going back to that either.

He does act like he knows everything about everybody and their car/tunes/Diablos. Maybe he is MR. Diablo?

If the SRTs were so bad, then why did it buy a second one after the first? That doesnt sound too bright...

I bought the second one because the first one was flooded and totaled. Plus the first one was a 300C SRT8 and the second was a Grand Cherokee SRT8.

The first gen SRT8s were the best things available in 2007/08. The E60 M5 sucked royally, the E63 was ridiculously priced, same with the Cayenne Turbo and ML63. The CTS-V wasn't out yet (I bought one of those in 2011 when I got rid of the Jeep), nor was the G8 GXP. What else was there in 2007-2008 that had 400+hp in a sedan or SUV?

I've been modding cars for 18 years. I've dealt with and used products from virtually EVERY major manufacturer.

I comment on very few threads. And on the weekends, I'm the best you've got. Some people appreciate the help. You don't? I don't care. Its that simple.
