just as the title says :gr_grin:


my gf got me a diablo predator for xmas and i went ahead and installed the 89 octane tune on my 3.5l yesterday since i still have close to a full tank of gas of 89 octane. so far i am very pleased with the improved acceleration and much better shifts! i barely have to tap the pedal now for the car to actually move as to where before i had to apply quite a bit of pressure to move the slow tank with 22s lol

also it seems as if the car is now louder and also can really feel my airhammer at work now as well! :gr_grin:

i cant wait to try out the 93 octane tune!

Congratz on your new Predator. Even though I don't have an LX I still have the one I took off Diablo. If you have the 5 speed, it's even more fun. You can change the way the transmission shifts, not just raising the shift points.

thanks man and yes i do happen to have the 5 speed but im too much of a newb to performance mods that i am not sure how that will affect it by changing the transmission shifts? :shrug:

The way it would change it would be to let you shift as you would a regular stick shift, up or down. Or it'll shift on it's own at WOT.

ahh but i always thought that by installing a tune from the predator, that it disables the autostick feature? :shrug:

No, it doesn't. You have to go into the submenu and mod it there. They are either "Mode 1" or "Mode 2".
