Hello, I just bought the diablo intune (I-1000) for my 2009 G8 GT. it is in the mail and I will be installing the tune as soon as it gets here. my questions is

I will want to be running the 91/93 tune for my car I have a vararam intake and cat back exhaust, no other mods have been done yet. after the tune is installed I will be deleting the cats off the car.

my main issue is should I just run the 91/93 tune(s) for my car or should I get a custom tune?

only place around my area (Delaware) that I see uses diablo is a dodge tune shop and I don't know if they will touch my GM car and the other place I saw uses HP for a tuner. I would like to get the most out of my car. I know that a dyno run is best but again not really any one I have seen will touch it.

I am new to the whole tuning deal. so please help in any way possible. if a custom tune can be ordered how do I go about that and how much does it cost..

thanks

You have no choice but to get a custom tune if you remove the cats. Thats illegal and none of DiabloSports tools will allow it. You need to hook up with Lew and have a tune done to turn off the rear O2s.

thank you a lot! much help now if only this tuner will recognize the car i will be set. waiting for tech support to pick up

for a dyno tune, check out JPC racing.
For an email tune, check out www.diablewtune.com

Whats the connectivity issue?
Sounds like you're on the phone with one of my guys as I type this....

yea i talked with one of the guys, sorry getting back late, i work grave shift so i sleep most of the day. when i first got the tuner i updated it and all the files updated but i was missing the GM (go figure)tune, so he made me re update it. and it worked fine.

i honestly haven't noticed that much of a gain (if any), yea i know it's only 25 (if that) but i read people say OMG I NOTICED SO MUCH BLAH BLAH BLAH. i noticed a firmer shift but the TCM Firm Shift software i installed

i installed the Diablo 93 tune and a firm shift and turned off the DoD (yes i am running 93 Octane) i am still learning all the little things i can do with the tuner. i just wish id be able to get more out of it with out having to get a custom tune, i honestly believe i wasted my money for nothing, because now i have to spend 135 from that one dude to internet tune me or go to JPC or some other place and fork out 100's more for a custom tune to really wake up the car....

09 G8 GT, i Am running a x pipe with cats and manga pac mufflers in the rear with a Vararam intake. i wish i could tune it for the intake and exhaust myself, feels like it get more bang for my buck that way.

maybe there is a way to tune it myself really with what i have.

if you all have input please relay it to me, i am NOT BASHING Diablosports at all, please don't take offence. i am keeping the tuner just have to fork out 100's more lol

thanks

depending on the log size, could take a little while

ok it saved, went to load it on computer, it's saved as a read me file, not a csv....what did i do wrong?

ok what type of CSV do i save it as? delimited? ms dos?

the logs have to be opened in the dataviewer software, you can convert them to .csv from there if you want.
