Getting ready to tune my 09 C6 but have some questions
I have 09 C6 automatic.My current mods are a corsa extreme axle back exhaust and an air-raid cai. I have a diablo intune and I'm ready to go ahead and tune the car. I know I can load the 93 tune but is there any other tune that I can load and how do I go about loading any other tunes? I thank you for any input/help.

If you'd like a custom tune for your car/mods, I can definitely get you hooked up and get you even more gains than just the preset canned tunes...

The 2009 C6 is a whole new world of tuning TQ management Most handhelds don't have the availability to work with those tables---You would be light years ahead by getting a real tune--Tunes in general can make 20 25 RWHP--however a real tuner can unlock all the HP the car can make ---- In stock trim your car may be rated at 435 crank HP HOWEVER after your computer gets a hold of it you are lucky to get 350 RWHP !!! all a result of GM's massive TQ control--simply deleting most of the TQ control will let your car make ALL the power it is capable of making----all the time plus an added
20 25 RWHP No handhelds have this capability==

Not true---Yes Diablo is the best of all the handhelds The current models keep adding more and more tables--See how old your's is as you may want to have it updated to reflect the added tables
But a full tuner has availability to address ALL tables--aprrox 450 in the engine ECM and about 350 for the trans TCM Diablo not even close
On a bone stock car typically a handheld is fine if your goals are just a little bit more performance ---But as you add mods like cams heads and especially LT headers you will never be happy with the results
Issues like idle -- surging--- dying--poor mileage-- pinging-weird shifting cannot be fixed with a handheld

Sorry I haven't responded sooner but I've been recently hospitalized. Thanks, for the members that have responded. But, I'm not looking to change my tuner. I've used Diablosport tuners with my previous 2 cars. My SRT Challenger and Charger SRT Super bee and they were great. I used the canned tunes and the dealer installed the 180-T-stat and adjusted the fan settings. So, I guess for now my only option is the canned tune? Until I get LT headers and hi-flow cats to go with my Corsa extreme exhaust? What about for a 180 t-stat and adjusting the fan settings? I have done searches on this topic but,I don't know if this would be good for the LS-3 C6? I'm new to the corvette so I don't know much. Any help would be great
P.S. I also did the updates to my intune with the help of Mike at Diablosport. I'm going to be tuning the car sometime this week.
Thanks,
Raul

My car was tuned last week and all I have to say it made a big difference I loaded the canned tune and I the trans to shift firm. Does it make more of a change when the computer learns the program?
