CONS-My limited knowledge of it's use!
pro's-TURN OFF CAGS,adjust certain parameters,turn off CEL,I got 11.2 gain with that,exhaust and VARARAM mods only,of which the last two don't do squat on the DYNO!
It's fun to use! Free upgrades!

Default For the price you cant beat it.

Since i got my u7194 predator i have the resource to disable cags,
clear CEL's , Data log & adjust parameters Like fan speed for 160 stat install just to name a few. For the money you cant beat it. Yes there
are better units out there from $550.00 on up that the Pros use.
The predator is a great starter unit otherwise you would have to pay a garage for everything that would need a flash on your ECM / PCM.

I really like mine. I noticed an immediate improvement with their box tune then I learned how to further dial in the car by logging parameters which it lets you do. You can also view the changes mods are doing to the car such as leaning or richening up the AFR then you can adjust for that. All in all its a great tool, I had one for two C5s and now for my C6 and would purchase again.

Its really easy . The instruction manual is very straight foreward.
The first thing it will save your stock tune for safe keeping. then you will be able to look at operating parameters and watch or log whats happening. Its almost impossible to to overwrite a tune there are prompts all the way. Then you can select a mild tune to install or
even a more agressive tune depending what you have in the car. A real deal.

I'm very happy with mine. I had been a loyal SCT customer on my past cars....IMO, The Diablo Sport is miles ahead of the SCT. I noticed a little difference in the throttle responce and high end power with their "Diablo" Tune (91-93 Octane) also

Another big plus - you can reinstall the stock tune and vice versa in a matter of minutes. If you are going for bolt-ons (vice internal engine mods), its a very cost effective tune solution with proven results.

Very satisfied with the predator. Good bang for the buck. The more time you spend with it, the better you will like it. Do some data logging and take good notes or downloads. This will help with modifing perameters, etc.

Any Diablo tune you add turns off the rear 02 sensors.

I think its any header tune turns off the o2 sensors. You can also do it manually with the 93 octane tune if you want.

I did the 93 and it turned them off. I called Diablo and they told me all of the "canned" tunes turn them off.

I did not feel any difference in performance so I resold mine. Maybe I could have if I would have tried to adjust the paramaters myslef but I did not want to mess with my car like that. Just my two cents. From what I have heard is that it just leans the car out a little bit..
