Diablo offers 2 tunes for the unit. C&L CAI and Steeda CAI both are listed on their website and can be added to the unit via your PC.

I actually downloaded and impoted this tune into my predator. The only thing I am uncertain of, is if the tunes stack. For example, I put in the 91 Octane tune. If I then run the CAI tune, does it overwrite the settings or modify the existing tune?

Your "CALID" is under your options menu in your Predator. Write it down, then you can type it in on Diablo's website and get what you need.

I had to update my C&L tune, it's workin good. I have off-road exhaust, and I have been playing around with the WOT fuel tables to get the A/F ratio's just right. So far I'm at -2.5% on both tables, so far so good.

Sweet that's great info- I want the JLT CAI. Maybe I can talk Jay into having Diablo put his tune for downloading. I'd hate to pay for a custom tune if I had the JLT when I could get the other tunes free. Go figure...

-2.5 to the rich side.

I have to go back to the dyno and double check my A/F ratio's.

Thanks vegas jay, did you come up w/ the 2.5% by using the dyno?
I guessed today and had it at 2% on the rich side, and it felt good. Just made a minor guess to richen it up some due to the exhaust.
I was also running 7% more timing from 2-4k, and 3% more from 4-7k, and it felt rediculously faster from the stock tune. Have you made any adjustments to the timing based on the dyno numbers?

I'm going by feel, on the fuel. I had a lean code pop up, so I gave her a little more fuel. So far the light has stayed off.

I haven't messed with the timing yet. Lee said the revised C&L tune had the timing bumped up quite a bit. At WOT I'm at 32 deg. useing the data logger on the Predator. I don't want to get to many varriables going at once.

I'm going back to the Dyno early next week to see how the new tune is doing and double check A/F ratio's. Hopefully I'll be able to post a gain!

This pony pull's like it's breathing fire! It get's crazy above 3k...

will do Nick, I'm not die-hard about many performance items, except for Flowmaster mufflers (love the sound), and now the Diablo Tuner, it's hard to imagine anything out there being any better.
