I won't buy one for the C7 because I will just restore the C6 oem tune and use the Intune for when I get a C7.

Nice job and a great product!

Ok i just ordered the Intune. I justified this purchase by canceling trugreen for my lawn this year

Weed and Feed works fine ! Man you would think it would be easy spending $389 bucks after paying for my C7 I paid cash for the car and im still in shock from writing that check.

Default Congrats Mike and Diablo Tune team!

I installed my Intune last week and love the instant response and throttle response. Makes me think that Chevy should make this the way the C7 should come from the factory...but I guess Diablo is just fine with the current system.

Default HP to crank...455+?

I know what matters is Hp to the wheels...but indulge my curious nature.

How much HP do we think the stock Auto Vette is to the crank? Seems like GM's rating of 455HP is understated? Anyone able to calculate based on actual dyno results to the RWHP of 410-412HP?

Back calculating that number is difficult at best....short of pulling one out and strapping it to an engine dyno (which I'm sure will happen eventually), we'll have to guess

There's a Halltech/Katech thread here with engine dyno results.

yeah thats what I meant. I know cobb used to have can tunes for 100 octane for the GTR's. I was wondering if they can add 100 octane tune

If its like 5 hp its not worth it from 93 .

Does a tuner void the warranty ?

Default Since 2007...will it or won't it?

I have been reading this question since 2007, when I first bought a Diablo Tuner for my new C6. I have owned two of their tuners and now a third for my new C7. Never had a service related challenge by any dealer.

Mike at Diablo has said many times their tune is not detectable when the car is returned back to the stock tune, before servicing at the dealer. Other members claim they have friends at dealers or GM who "will be able to tell"?

It would be refreshing, if all the folks who have used the Diablo tuner and had their warranty VOIDED, would step forward!

This is one of those "age old discussions"...

Works tremendous/ But it will void my warranty? Will it?
