Diablo Sport Tuner review
I installed a Diablo in tune 3 and am very happy with results. I have a 2014 C7 m7 this year the Fans are set higher and the car ran about 210. I installed a cold air intake and NPP exhaust and did a 93 tune. I was able to turn off AFM and CAGS and adjust the fans to 195. I am very happy with the extra kick the 93 gave me. Overall I am very satisfied and happy I purchased it. The install was easy with help from there Techs. I would recommend this.

"Diablo Sport's preloaded performance tunes could add up to 30hp and 20ft.-lbs. of torque over stock to your Corvette."
I had a diablo Sport tuning system for my 2006 C6 3LT, in order tighten the shifts of my automatic 6sp.
Although, my 2/2016 C7 Stingray is completely stock.
Adjustable parameters according to the web sight:
-Active fuel management
-Cooling fan control
-Disable skip shift
-Drive/neutral idle RPM adjustment
-Fuel rich/lean adjustment VS RPM
-Gear ratio
-Rev limiter
-Speed limiter
-Throttle booster
-Timing advance/ retard VS RPM
-Tire size
(See mike the tuning system Guru @ Diablo)
Many thanks,
Ray

I used a Diablo with my C6 " Bolt on Car " and now my C7 " Bolt On " car along with Lew's customer tunes which are no different than a shop doing a " STREET " tune on your car except you have the ability to......
a- Restore the car back to stock at any time - I have seen to many guys go out of business or to many owners want to put their cars back to stock have to pay for a new tune , With my Diablo less that 3 minutes it can be restored to stock
b - You can make adjustments to the tune yourself and log the changes - I had a bit of Knock retard going on right at the 1st to 2nd shift and the car was pulling timing , Not sure if it was false knock or real knock but I did not want to chance it so I added some fuel and the car responded with a .2 improvement . did it right at the track .....
Am I leaving some HP on the table , maybe ... but just knowing that I can tune my car myself and restore it back to stock at any time is worth it to me
For a bolt on car , email tunes are fine although many will have you believe that you have to take it to a shop or a dyno .... to me the real test is not a dyno , its how it performs on the track .....
Plus Diablo LEW and Mike at Diablo Sport customer service is 2nd to none !! , I have had both respond to a question on Saturdays when they are closed ....
I would do the same EMAIL tune if I had HP tuners or EFI live as there are may good tuners out there that use these tools to do EMAIL tunes

My Friends, Please bare with me, New to it all can’t even run my new iPhone. Bought a new c5 zo6 5000 mi. Wax trophy. At 71 scares the liven stuff out of me. Replacing valve springs, adding ARH long tubes,Borla stingers, cold air. Understand that I should have the car tuned after the bolt on not that I would probably know the difference at my red flag level. Would your product be a asset to me to keep her in the bit where she belongs.

Used this years ago on my C5 and gained .3 in the 1/4 mile pass. Definately a fun tune to install. It works.

Lew, I got my c7 base 2lt a few months ago. Its an automatic and when I put my foot in it and it down shifts, takes off like a bat outta hell she spits and pops in between gears. I have a diablo tuner from my c6 base I was gonna sell and get a new one (its old), I dont know which one and cant go look because I am currently offshore at work. Im wondering if this is something that can be tuned out by you guys and if I would need a new tuner ( I know u need to know the model number) but just wondering if in general c6 diablo tuners work on c7 minus the actual tune that was on it for the c6.

The I3 depending on the year will tune the ECM and the TCM .
The I2 will only tune the ECM
If you are interested I have an unmarried I3 that I could sell as I had to move over to HP tuners when I added my blower
