i don't think anyone here would have suggested the diablo.......probably not the superchips either. but super chips is working good on my friends 5.3. i have a m/o tune and it works very good.

Sell the diablo,take advantage of the $200 jason tune and make sure you have a 5.3,check the codes,Applys only if you bought the truck used.Guys have been known to change the sticker under the hoods of used trucks for better resale.

Why don't you try and set the shift points before you get all upset about it. Max out the shift pressure, also max out the quickness of the shifts. It will help you out.

H8N i have the diablo for my '04 5.3 and have no complaints. i roasted another 5.3 (GMC) and did a brake light check on him, so i'm happy so far.

I've had my predator for about a year now and while its not the greatest tuner in the world I got a hell of a deal on a used unit from James awhile back. Up the shift points, pressures, and quickness, as well as mph, top speed, and shift rpm and rev limit. I do not even use the tune in the Predator and I think its quicker by seat of the pants and how fast I get to when getting on the on ramp to a certain point. Stock was about 88mph and then 95mph to the same point from a stop. I know its not a real accurate way to measure but its free and fun too!!!
