InDepthAutoDetailing Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 i have a mac at home, but i kept my old Dell laptop from college just in case i needed windows while at home. i use it strictly for updating my Trinity and my navigation now If I had kept the last PC i had it would be a PII 350 with I think 8 or 16 gig hard drive and 32 meg of ram. With Windows 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InDepthAutoDetailing Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Really curious to see how this turns out, might sway me one way or another on getting a DiabloSport tuner. Not sure if you're wondering about mileage or performance so I thought I'd post what I have so far. Since I'm still waiting on my CAI and the truck has 1/2 tank of 87 octane I decided to install the MPG tune. If you have a HEMI and don't like 4cyl mode, DO NOT install this tune. The tune causes the mode to kick in a little sooner and off a little later. However on my 40 mile round trip to dinner, according to the average on the readout, I averaged 18.2mpg. That included 2 remote starts of about 1-2 minutes each. It was a mix of highway and city driving. Hope this helps. Another note is I've called Diablosport probably 5 times with questions. Since its my first tuner and the first time I've dealt with windows in over 10 years I had a few hang ups. Can't wait till Tuesday when I get the CAI and a tank full of 93 juice.

Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Using a tuner without doing any sort of mods is probably worthless - eh ? Len - 20 miles for dinner? Oh yeah... you're out there... I think it still takes the vehicle a few tanks to fully adjust to changes in octane. So, if your results aren't impressive after 20 miles of tank 1, give it a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if your results aren't impressive after 20 miles of tank 1, give it a little while. Mods are coming a little at a time. Once I get headers, 35" or 37" tires, possibly lower gears, this thing will really come in handy. I was more just playing with the MPG tune while while trying to get rid of the gas that's in there. 20 miles- We went to south parkway pizza hut. SRTLUVR says it takes about 5-6 key switches for the PCM to fully adjust to a new tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just installed my K&N CAI and I installed the 87 performance tune (still trying to get rid of the 87 that's in there) from the Trinity and HOLY CRAP! I can't wait to get the 93 in there and see what it'll do. I'm only scratching the surface of what the tuner is capable of doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
