DITCH THE HANDHELD, AND GET jAMES AT rwtd HERE IN MOBILE TO TUNE IT, HE IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST HERE.

I DID IT, AND IT WAS THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT. I THINK HE CHARGES AROUND $400 OR SO, YOU CAN SELL THE USED DIABLO ON EBAY OR CRAIGSLIST. I GOT $230 FOR MY DIABLO USED, THE MORE MODS YOU MAKE, THE LESS EFFECTIVE THAT HANDHELD WILL BE.

DIABLO IS THE BEST HANDHELD, BUT IS STILL VERY LIMITED COMPARED TO HPTUNERS OR EFILIVE. GIVE JAMES A CALL, HE CAN HOOK IT UP, GENERALLY TAKES A FEW HOURS TO DYNO TUNE.

no sir, the tow/haul only changes trans settings, shift points ... not the tune.

he will reflash it for free i am sure, if you should have to take your truck in for warranty.

FYI i have had mine in 2-3 times so far and they never looked at or noticed the tune.

Sounds good! Im sure this is a dum ? but getting it tuned on the dyno will get u more power than sending off for a custom tune?What kinda of rwhp #'s did your truck pull?

dyno tune is better than a mail order, mail order better than a handheld, and so on. he tunes for driveability first, then for power. he knows his **** , for sure.

mine was around 310/315 on motor, and a bit over 400/400 on spray.

i have run a best of 8.19 @ 83ish in the 1/8th.
