Diablo trouble

Got my Diablo yesterday...went out to the truck to install it. It makes a backup of my factory program then goes to install the 87 tune. Gets about 13% and reboots...great...I follow the on screen instructions and it gets to about 30% this time...then reboots..this goes on for about 10 minutes and then it says unplug the predator...i do.and plug it back in,..now it says it has to restore the factory tune...ok..I wanna drive home....same freaking thing.....after about 10 tries it finally writes to 100% and I get home..

I flashed the Predator to the 8.R2 flash revison when i got home but now I'm afraid to try this thing again. Anyone have anything like this happen to them?

I don't have anything special installed in the truck..I pulled the radio facplate, unplugged my XM and cell phone charger...brake controller is a Prodigy and it's computer controlled so it's doing nothing unless a trailer is installed....

Ideas??

Flashed it and it worked perfect. Installed the 87 tune and took a quick trip around the block...shifts are MUCH firmer....seems to have more power...we'll see tomorrow

How much difference do you feel between the 8 tune and the high performance tune?
