The guys on LS1Tech and GMSL4.com swear by him. He does custom tuning using the Diablo Predator. He's a member on here too.

Also he owns and 06 Monte Carlo SS and works for predator also so who better can do this than a person with the knowledge of our cars.

I paid $300.00 for my tuner. Did the sport tune and man there was a great difference. If I behave the gas milage is even better. I find I can't behave to often though.

No. Real numbers and time.

Realeasy to do yourself if you do the pre-programed sport tune. If you want to adjust the finner details like fuel injector arch better tke it to a Daiablo tunner shop. I did min my self. A pre-programed sport tune and I bumped up the RPMs a bit but that is all I did was too unsure to do the fine tweaks

How's that canned tune treating you?

It got rid of the hesitation on quick starts from the light, improved acceleration and If I can behave even better gas mileage (maybe 2 to 3 MPG better) But It is hard to behave with all that extra getup and go. I don't regret doing it at all.

Might be my imagination but it even sounds better.

I bought one! $165 shipped from some guy with a 2007 Vette who bought the wrong tuner. I'll report back on how things go once it comes in, but I can not wait. I'm thinking once I get my tax refund check I'll be getting in touch with Lew.

great deal...wish i could find one that cheap

edit: does diablo make a tuner for the 07s..i was looking around on their website and didnt see 2007 monte one there
