Hello all, I have a couple of questions about the this turner.
If you only load the modified stock tune does that mostly just change shift points and some of the TM with out any HP / Tq gains?
If you reset the truck to stock can a dealler detect that you have had a tuner attached?
Last is there a way yet to disable the ESP completely with out disabling the ABS and with out all of the lights coming on?

Question: Can the dealer detect the tuner? Answer: Diablo has told me it does not leave a footprint.
This being said has anyone had their car in for service that has had one of these hooked up?

when the predator is hooked to a computer for updates or custom tunes, does it have to be connected to a computer running windows or can they be hooked to a mac ?

Aren't Macs dual platform? Anything you do on Windows should be able to run on a MAC. Isn't that what the skinny guy says to the fat guy in the commercials.

There is a thread over in the Diablo forums (something like "Not a happy camper") started by a guy who didn't reallize that he would need an PCM update when he bought his tuner. He doesn't own a PC and is a little upset (he went kind of overboard if you ask me). IIRC tech support specifically states that the tuner is not supported by mac. It probably has more to do with the comm interface than running the software through a Windows simulator.

MACs are great for graphic designers, beyond that, get a PC. That is what the world uses. If you get a MAC and find things are not compatible that is your own fault. There is a reason why there are aisles and aisles of software for PCs and one for MACs at the store.....

Back on topic.

Just went to the levy and did some 0-60's with my Mike Wilson tune. 0-60 was 6.4 in 4wd. Had to do 4wd drive because there is no way of hooking up in 2wd off the line. The power this thing has unleashed is ridiculous. If i could get it to hook up in 2wd no telling what this thing could do.
