Although I had used the Diablo CAI91 and CAI93 canned tunes, I had read so much about the custom tuning, even with minor mods, that I thought I'd give it a try.
So first off, I'm not one of those that say they cant feel a difference in a Diablo tune. It is certainly a noticeable improvement, and even between the 91 and 93 is a world of difference.
In case my sig doesn't show up again, I have a 2010 SRT8 6.1 6M
I've only completed the first part, which is accepting and loading the tuners (probably well dialed in by now) tune for my car. Next step is hook up a laptop and log with it and my Predator, then send him the file to fine tune.
Still, at this point I've noticed two main things. The throttle response is instant. This is totally unlike the way it feels when using the Diablo tune with different degree's of tip in (0-20%). The Diablo tip in adjustment gives more throttle for the same "length" of pedal, for lack of better words. The way it feels now is different. Much better.
Second is the way the engine pulls at all RPM's, regardless of operating temperature. Naturally it runs like a scalded cat in the morning with cool air, but after 30 minutes of driving, it STILL pulls like it did earlier. That was NOT the case with the Diablo tunes. When the engine got heat soaked, it would run like a PIG, end of story.
It was raining today so I couldnt data log, but I will tomorrow and then I will send him the data and the tune will truly be "custom" at that point.
I more or less only have a 180* and fender pull CAI for mods as I believe the stock SRT exhaust is fine up to 500hp or so. I believe the same thing about the TB. If I do an aggressive cam and intake work, then I will go with 3" exhaust and larger TB. When that happens we will modify the tune again.
From what I have read, there seems to be some dispute between this tuner and this board, so I wont bypass the rules and post a sound alike name or anything like that to simply annoy the moderators.
Just wanted to share
