I can atest to the fact that they did pretty decent beta testing. Diablo shouldn't be too much longer. They said that all of thier resources were going into trying to get the Trinity out the door. There site says that they are shipping now. Like I said, they told me on the phone and replied to a post saying that the ecm files are ready, and that they just need to get the tcm side straight.

I am watching the Diablo forums.

I must need to brush up on my math skills for the gains claimed.

The 390 hp at the fly wheel claim we all have is based on running 89 octane. For those of us running the 89, it would be nice to see the tuning results here although probably not much anyway ( but still, 89 is recommended so why start with 87 ). Compared to all my years on the dyno with 3 F150's, these are pretty pathetic gains, more than conservative. Dodge must be tuning them great from the factory ( as far as rwhp goes ) but we shall see when more tunes are available. So throttle response and TM would then be the tuning advantage as I'm not sure these tune files would really be worth the investment here. But to the OP, thanks a lot for the link !

What do you suppose fiddling with the PCM parameters does to your lifetime powertrain warranty? Seems like getting a few extra horsepower isn't worth potentially voiding your warranty.

It's a canned tune. They have to box something up that will work for someone in Denver, and work for someone that lives by the ocean. Cool north, hot south, etc. The ability to really tune will be nice when it comes. SCT would be the bomb, but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon. I think that they must have made all the Mopar money that they need. Hopefully, Diablo will get on it soon.

Those numbers aren't that great. I'll wait for the Superchips to come out.

With Diablosport, you actually reflash the PCM. It will store the stock PCM file so when you need to go to the dealer, you flash it back to stock and they supposedly won't know.

I like Diablosport because you can datalog.
