Diablew Tune

[SippiSierra]

Hey fellas. I just placed my order with Lew today. I am pretty excited to see the truck wake up some. I got the i3 tuner and will be doing the data logging and then the custom tune. I will update as the process unfolds. Can't wait!

First update 10/4/17. I received the i3 in the mail today UPS 3 Day. I had some stuff to do around the house got that done and then the fun began. I updated the i3 well tried to, no updates were available. So went out to the truck and plugged her up. I installed the 87 tune with firm shifts per Lew's instructions. Now I've got to hit 150 miles and then I'll be able to data log and send it off for Lew's magic. So far it's been an easy process.

Second Update 10/5/17. I only took the truck around the block last night so I could not really judge on performance. This morning on my commute in (about 11 miles) I can definitely notice the more firm shifts. When I leveled my truck and put on the 275/65R20 tires my AFM was pretty much always on V8, the only parameter in the tune that I changed was the tire size. It seems to be going back into V4 mode like it did before the level and tires. Overall the shifts are firmer and that is about it.

i thought you could turn the v4 off with a tuner.. is that not an option on yours?

It is an option, honestly I am a novice when it comes to this so I did not change anything except tire size. Lew will deactivate it with the custom tune.

gotcha!... yeah that would be one of the first things i do when i get one...

You made me more curious haha, watched some youtube vids and went ahead and did it. I will report back on the difference after my drive home this afternoon

[Crstfr]

cool.. yeah it keeps it in V8 the whole time...

Diablo 87 canned tune: AFM OFF: Idle raised 50 RPM:

Driving characteristics have all changed, for the better, firmer shifts, the truck does not feel like it is searching all of the time for the appropriate gear to be in. Having AFM off is quite nice coming around small curves on my drive into work it does not feel as if if is bogging down. I am ready to hit the 150 miles so I can data log and send to Lew. If it is this good with a canned tune I can only imagine what it will be like with a custom one in.

[Crstfr]

right... good luck!.. yeah i dont have a tune yet... but i do feel the bog when in v4 slowing/coming around corners..grrrr..

Bumping for an update. Considering this or Blackbear for mine.

from what i read on here... BB is the way to go...

I think if it's based on no mods or like just an intake/cat-back the a tune from either tuner will be fine.

 

After headers or with e85, I might have it dyno tuned locally to account for atmospheric conditions etc

Well, I am stuck as of a few days ago. I got in the truck to do the data log to be able to send to Lew and the tuner (Diablosport i3) will not log tunes. I am not alone, over on the diablosport forum you can see the thread that I am in there (Same username) of other guys not being able to do their logs to send in to get the custom tune work done. Diablosport is "looking into the problem" It has been 14 days since the first reported incident to them. This is NOT a knock against Lew, this is beyond his control. Just sucks being stuck

I've had the Intune i2 since Jan, 14. I've used the diablo tune, and just messed with the parameters inside there. I am curious as to see what differences would be made with Lew making a custom tune. So hopefully once issues get fixed with the data logging on your tuner, we all can see the results.
