I was saving up for the SCT with 5 star tunes. Probably save up still but I got a free diablo for my 05. Figured for free ill give it a shot. Says I can still get custom tunes. Don't worry mike I'll be headin to you someday! Haha

 

Don't even waste your time with it! Sell it as quick as you can. I had the Diablow and it didn't do anything for the truck. Another thing was that custom tuners were hard to find and the one or two that I did had no experience with the V10. Just my .02.

 

I probably will sell it. Think I'll use it in my truck until it sells. Thanks :-)

 

The Diablosport will work fine if you get some custom tunes for it. The cannede tunes are complete garbage and not even usueable in my experience but Diablosports software and hardware are more than fine.

 

I was reading that a custom tune is around $100. I may get one just to try it out.

 

Im in the market for a tuner, im saving up for a 5 star...but willign to explore other options.

 

I'd stick with the 5 star, the only reason for the diablo is cause I got it for free

 

So the 5 star is the ONLY tuner option that works?

This is like a N/A diesel thread: How do I get more power or better performance without a turbo? This question I have answered many times....

 

No, other tuners will work. However, folks here are very happy and supportive of 5 Star. The custom tunes and post-sale support seem to be the biggest reasons.

I don't have a tuner, but have followed all the posts here since I joined two years ago. Most folks with other tuners report less than positive results and many that switch to a 5 Star tune rave about the differences.

 

well i guess i just dont want to spend five hundred dollars on something like that, I love the V10's power now...idk what it would be like otherwise.

 

Just ask around the forum. People have seen crazy gains!

 

Like what for example? I dont need more power, nothign I normally tow will outmuscle this engine....if i get like +4-5 mpgs in town, i might go for it.

 

Dont count on getting that big of a gain with any modification.

 

I didn't think so lol. Even with a combination of modifications you dont think that kind of an increase is possible? I would like to make this my DD if i could keep the tank full, I drove it around today...and got 9 in town with a little lead in my foot.

 

There is no magic bullet for mpg increases with the V10. Nor is there a suite of mods that will get you gains that will offset the investment costs. From what I've seen, most folks with a 5 Star tune report a slight drop in MPG, but a huge improvement in driveability.
