If you guys have your heart set on Diablo, I would certainly talk to 06MonteSS (Lew) before pulling the trigger on anything. He is a Diablo dealer who can give you a custom tune to your liking built into the Intune and probably even give you a good deal on it to boot.

I'm talking with Lew now. I'm still undecided, but leaning heavy toward using him. I've contemplated other options, but keep going back to Lew's Custom tune.

 

IC you tuned yours yourself, I'm looking into that as well. Might be biting off more than I can Chew. I tune my Harley's myself using a DynoJet PV tuner, wasn't hard once I understood all the variables. Just not sure I have the patience for the Silvy.

I have been tuning cars since 2000, my first being a 1996 impala SS that went 10.90's fully dressed out at 4400lbs. If I haven't been tuning this long, I would have needed a school to properly tune this E92 controller. There are several people willing to help you though if you just want to play around with it, and you nailed it on the head, you have to have patience.

I heard mixed rumors about this intune. I just need to know if it will actually work to change the speedometer after I put bigger tires on the truck. Also I want to know if it will actually give better mpg. I don't want to be wasting $400 and then it not work.

I installed my F.A.S.T wideband last night and after doing some logging it looks like the factory calibrations are pretty close for a bone stock truck, at least it is for mine. If I can't make improvements on the VVT then I doubt there will be a lot of gains on tune alone, I'm thinking 15-20 HP Maybe. It's just an educated guess but I think a full exhaust system with a nice set of tuned long tubes will wake these things up, especially the 6.2. Now if I can only find a dealer willing to send me that system for test... Cough Cough... HInt Hint!

I will put gears in this summer, if I go NA I will go 4.10's if I put a compressor on it I will go 3.42's. All depends on what aftermarket comes out with this summer. You are right though, gears would make this pig fun

Here are a few pics of the wideband ran into the truck. I pushed the sensor wire/plug through a grommet just over the passenger kick panel that runs out the right side. It was kind of tight but nothing a coat hanger, electrical tape and Vaseline couldn't fix. Hell.. I remember when Vaseline use to fix some other issues, lol.

I can't imagine it NOT being able to change your speedo calibration. As far as fuel mileage, that is dependent on the current efficiency of the vehicle. A good tune will never make it worse. The truck will feel lighter and MPG gains will be minimal, maybe 1 sometimes 2 mpg on the average vehicle. Thats a good tune in general, I never run canned tunes and I'm not personally familiar with Diablo/Diablew except for the mostly good things that has been reported.

 

If you were closer I would help you out, I don't do this for monetary gains, its just a hobby.
