I was looking at getting a pcm tuner for my 2006 monte 3.5. I have been checking out a diablosport predator, but I'm not sure if it is compatible with my car or if I will get any gain from it. Has anyone had success with a tuner similar to this on their monte? I'm on a somewhat tight budget being a college student and I can't be without my car if I do a mail order tune. I know my options are limited but I would like your opinion on what is a good choice.

Here's the predator that I mentioned:

 

Find a local tuner that uses HP tuner. You will gain more for the money, can do pcm and tcm tuning with a key stroke.

 

Okay thanks for the input! I will check out my options and let you know what I find.

 

I haven't been able to find any shops that will do a tune. Are the pre-programmed flash tuners worth it? I'm not sure what kind of power gains to expect from it. It says up to 25hp for the diablo but is it realistic that I could even get half that amount?

 

I found a Jet pcm that is a direct fit for my monte. It's part number 10631s. Has anyone used one of these before and is it legit?

 

I wouldn't touch a jet tuner.

I would talk to Will about your tune. You really won't be down without a car.

What's wrong with a jet tuner

 

MAMonte (our moderator) tried it, and it completely ruined his PCM and he had to get warrantied work done to his car.

For the cost, getting a proper tune is well worth it. MAMonte made the switch to Will's tune and absolutely loves everything about it compared to the JET chip.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I talked to Will and just ordered a tune from him.
