Diablo inTune personal experience
#201
Your PCM monitors and adjusts for changes in elevation, the tune we provide simply follows the same path, while making it a little better along the way.
Elevation is always going to hinder performance a bit, but, you do have the option with our tools of having a good custom tune done remotely based on datalogging so it can be dialed in 100%.
Thanks

Thanx for the response, you've always been very helpful. Just a question: if I get a custom tune at this altitude, how would the a/f ratio be adjusted to achieve maximum performance without the COTS intervening to richen the mix, as happened (I believe) with the Predator? And are you still offering a $100 rebate if the Predator is returned after buying an Intune? Thanks.
The trade in is if you trade the tool in when you buy the tool, if you already bought one, best bet would be to sell it yourself.
Thanks

Got my new Trinity put on Volant Cold air filter last week on my 2008 C6 convertible with A6 tried the 91 Octane with firm shift. Tried 0-60 with motion start results 0-60.9 in 3.15 sec in 118 feet with TC and AH on.
All I can say is Wow!
Will try Octane 91 hard shift next, then the 93 Octane firm and Hard

BTW: Forgive the dumb question, but what is "motion start"?

That's pretty damn impressive, especially since your car most likely has the 2.59:1 rear gear ratio? Is your car otherwise stock? If so, Wow is the right expression. The Diablo "hard shift" isn't violent at all, but just really nice and quick. It might not go any quicker though, as it might break the tires loose on the 1-2 shift and ET slightly higher from the loss of traction. But, by all means try it and also try the 93 octane Diablo tune with just the firm shift. My bet is that will make you slightly quicker. Let us know your results.

The motion start automatically starts the timer when you begin to accelerate, your other option is to use the Drag Tree

COT should generally be disabled during dyno tuning so you can get the AFR you want, then re-enabled after the tune is done, so it can function to protect the cats if needed.
The trade in is if you trade the tool in when you buy the tool, if you already bought one, best bet would be to sell it yourself.

gotta go through our site to do the trade in, support/return authorization.
Once you get the inTune, register it, and fill out the rebate form and send it in.
Thanks

I actually have the Diablo Trinity with Lew's custom tune and I have to say that it is definitely worth every penny.
I installed the canned 93 octane Diablo Tune on my 2011 Z06 and right away I noticed much better throttle response, slightly better acceleration, and of course CAGS was disabled.
I drove the recommended 150 miles on that tune, then did my data logging and sent the required files to Lew to work my custom tune. I've only had the custom tune installed for about 25 miles but I will say the car pulls much harder through all the gears. I also love the fact that I can monitor live with the Trinity as well as measure my 0-60, 0-100, 1/8 mile, and 1/4 mile times.
I sent Lew my files on Saturday expecting to get the custom tune back early this week and I was pleasently surprised when Lew e-mailed me my custom tune yesterday Sunday).
So far I'm extremely happy with the Trinity and the customer service has been outstanding. Great job Lew!

I have to agree that Lew is worth every penny. Firstly, I have never experienced better customer service anywhere. This guy responds within like 10-15 mins, no matter what time of day you email him! Secondly, his custom tune is a definite gain over the canned diablo tune, which itself is pretty impressive. Lew has been tweaking the low throttle part of my tune since I installed the headers, and so far it feels better each time I get a new tune from him. He sent me a new one the other night (the 3rd one so far) and I am very impressed with how the car feels now. When my car was stock, it could hardly turn the tires. Now, it will rip the tires in 1st and through 2nd gear until it shifts into 3rd. I launched it a couple of days ago in manual shift mode and had it bouncing off the limiter before I could shift it into 2nd. And Lew hasn't done the WOT tweaks yet. I can't wait to do a proper WOT log and get him to tweak it further.
Once he has done the WOT tune for me, I am going to order a Trinity from him and have him convert the Intune tune to the Trinity format, as my brother wants to buy my Intune now for his Camaro. I would recommend Lew to anyone who wants a custom tune with a Trinity or Intune. This guy is the real deal. Thanks Lew!
