Diablo Predator tunes
 
I just bought a new open-box Diablo Predator U7140 for my 05 GT and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a source for tunes. Obviously I'd like one for free, but will pay for a good custom tune. I'm running it pretty much stock right now, just a Vertex Racing CAI. And I'm running 87 octane, but I can change that. Any suggestions, recommendations? Thanks for your help.

There's a number of good tuners out there, but I only have experience with 2 of them, BamaChips and Brenspeed. You can inquire to both with your specific needs, goals, and expectations then see which is best for you.

BAMACHIPS FTW!!!:metal:


For you swaybar delete non believers-Steeda has a new swaybar delete. Well not really but it's lighter than the stock rad support. So unlike the GMS or BMR delete you can actually run the front swaybar still. That way you guys can try both ways and finally see the error in your ways.:grin:

No spacers (Left pic is the KDW's) The DR's do stick out past the mudflap but not as dramatic as seen in the pic (bad angle).http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture022.jpghttp://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture015.jpg

Ready for the track. Whoever said that Mustangs don't have storage space. It all fit and keep in mind I've got the Shaker1000 back there too.

Since you're in Lakeland, Justin at VMP Tuning isn't that far from you. I haven't run his tunes personally, but know many happy customers. You can't really go wrong with Brenspeed or Bamachips either.

Tom- I like the photoshopped Pony center caps. Those would look great. :nice:

Leo, they look gay.

Seriously... I'm getting them! Have a part number before you throw the box/bag away?

I know I felt like everyone was looking at me when I went to Mcdonalds after installing them. I read the lips of the driver in the car behind me and he was telling the passenger "Cool car but what's up with those gay *** mudflaps.":rofl2::jester:

PN#5R3Z 16A550 BA You might as well put these on the mudflaps.:jester:

A little taste of Barona. (Didn't see a pic of one import. Could be the photographers doing.) Either way I'm fully expecting to be the slowest car out tonight. Which is good because I'm calmer when going into the race I know I'm going to lose.:rofl2:

Leo- All that dirt and mud water.. I almost had a heart attack and fell out of my chair!
The flaps look functional, but I would advise against keeping them on at your next carshow. :rofl2:

And WTH is another 17" machined wheel doing in your spare compartment? I thought you only bought 2 17's, and they're on your car now? I won't even mention that shower cap looking cover either. :rolleyes:

Please have someone take a pic of you wearing that helmet tonight and post it up on ms as your avatar. :rofl2:

Believe me the muflaps are coming off tonight when I switch back to the street tires.

I know I know the car is dirty. That's what happens when you have a DD.:poke:

Those are my 17's + DR's. I still have the 18's on right now. I only put one DR on for the pics above because I was curious how they look on the car.

The "shower cap" is actually a "tire tote" that I got from Tirerack. :nana:

I'll take a pic of just my face with the helmet tonight.:nice:

Your still in the newlywed stage. Soon enough you'll get used to having her around and won't take care of her as much.:eek:

Agree with you 1000%. Still my least favorite S197 Saleen though.

Hey, mines older than anyone I can think of on this thread and I still usually have mine pretty clean. I don't think mine has seen more than a night or two in a garage either. :grin:

LEO_06GT 5/9/08 05:28 PM

I'm off to the track.

Crap. I was hoping to sneak in and wish you the best of luck Leo.

Here's to some awesome 60' times :metal::metal: I really believe that the DRs are going to be a game changer for you.

I want to see pics of daylight under one of those front wheels man :hail::hail:
