Got a DS Predator

Diablo only has rpm adjustability, not firmness. Most guys are stretching the shift patterns all the way to redline in each gear. Prob why they are having fried trannies.
My truck shifts perfect. Better than factory with that MDS turned off.
Also, don't confuse the guys that get burnt trannies due to 2nd prime!
Lots of guys are trying everything possible with the user adjustability feature of Diablo and have no idea what they are doing! You cannot blame Diablo for their tune if someone alters it.

But when the big time programmer performance shops aren't touching the Diablo anymore and questioning the fried trannies, it's enough to make me hold off getting one, for now anyway...

Mine shifts a little quicker, but not firm and still has the TM backing off power at each shift (part and full throttle) I don't see how an extra 20 rwhp will fry a tranny unless it was already about gone anyway. I run the 93 octane setting with the MDS on and it gets the best mileage this way. No signs of detonation and the tranny acts fine.
Altering the canned tunes without the proper equipment such as a Wide band O2 sensor and a dyno is just asking for trouble.
I ran one for several years on my 01 F150 and will run this one on my 08 Ram as long as I own it.

Never have I read a more true statement. If people don't know what they are doing they should not be messing with some of these parameters. It is a recipe for disaster.

Works for me
I seem to remember on the Ford Predator, when you add to the fuel table, you were actually leaning the mixture. This could be a common mistake made when people think they are adding fuel, they were removing it and burning up pistons!!
I could be wrong, but I seem to remember it being reversed for some strange reason.

Stuff like that is exactly why people shouldn't mess with settings unless they know what they are doing.
