Lets not make this a "Schitt on Diablo Post"
I happen to think Diablo is the best chip out there,
ok maybe because thats what I run BUT
When you try and squeeze every ounce of POSSIBLE power
from a tune, and have to run 2 million octane to keep the
rods in, YOUR LOOKING FOR TROUBLE NO MATTER WHO THE TUNER, WHO THE COMPANY, OR WHO THE LIGHTNING
Fact is YES it seems the standard Hi Perf Diablo tune
that comes on a Predator "has blown many a motor already"
That has no effect on you or me if you let YOUR TUNER tune it.
EVERY LIGHTNING SHOULD BE TUNED BY A TUNER
AND TUNER ONLY (and I happen to think we got the best tuners)

V,
You gotta remember who's mind where dealing with here -->MINE
You know what I mean,
an off the shelf Diablo Tune (which is what this Truck is apparantly used to test and develop) are known for being aggresive, very aggresive in some cases. I had many of them, (bought through Motor Haven), before using RWTD and then (now) Johnny (JLP). Schitt I had one that shifted at 5700 RPM and would rattle your teeth on the 1 to 2 shifts. That doesn't make them a bad company, what it does is make them a Company that offers their own "Custom Tune" for your Mods, that happen to be extremly aggresive
This is good for HP and ET's, we all know that fast chips bring more customers. But I found out early on (TG) that you truly need to deal with a Lightning Owner/ Lightning Tuner/ Lightning Racer/
Lighting Vendor, to get a proper tune. You know that better than anyone, JDM has giving you amazing results, along with hundreds of others. We want people like Jim Johnny Sal, Paul, Timmy, Tommy, etc.... tuning our Lightnings, NOT THE MFGR of the Chip
Hey like I say, thats just my take on it, who the hell am I
Why do you think I haven't bought a Predator Yet,
with my way of thinking, AND ME BEING THE TUNER,
schitt I be in pieces in no time
