"Are you guys 100% sure a dealership's computer is not going to be able to detect the flash changes, if I switch it back to "Stock Tune"when I take it in for service? Will I need to drive it for 30-miles or so for the ECM to re-adjust?"
That's my#1 question, as well.

But I think my next purchase is going to be a Diablo Predator and 93 Oc w/no DoD will be my tune, along with 06MonteSS's special tune.

Hell, when I take my car in for service, I get to my dealer's service parking lot, and THEN restore my original backup - then I put the Predator in the trunk. When my service work is done, I install my tune before I leave their lot. And I even have a Diablosport Gas and Diesel Tuning Systems sticker on my back window! LOL
Also, looks like you used the smaller trunk sized SS on your front grill... should use one of the door-sized SS's - they're bigger and will cover up that whole chevy bowtie section on the front grill. See my pics at the link in my sig.

What effect has the Diablo had on your gas mileage and performance?

I'm always in v8 mode, drive 50/50 city/highway every day, and get on it when I have enough room in front of me. I get 20.5 mpg consistently.
Performance: quicker/faster throttle response, quicker acceleration, stronger pull, etc etc.

there are 3 tunes generally...
Diablo Tune (which is the one for 93 octane), 91 octane tune, and 87 octane tune.

One last question (sorry to be a PITA). Assuming you've tried the 91-octane tune, how does it compare to stock performance? Is there a significant improvement worth 400 bucks? In a previous thread, someone suggested the Hypertech tuner, which supposedly does the same things for less money. However, I checked their website, and apparently they don't offer a tuner for 06-07 Montes of any flavor.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
