Custom Diablo Predator Tune?

I just bought a Diablo Predator for my truck a few weeks ago. I LOVE that thing! But...and there's always a but...I have some questions. For the diagnostics, can you hook that up with the engine running? Or does it have to be off at all times? Also, my rig is getting lifted in about a week and a half. I'll be putting 35x12.5R18's on it, and I was wondering if I could get the Predator retuned so my speedo would be accurate.

Thanks,
Terry

Yes, you can hook it up with the engine running. It supports but running and non-running OBD functions.

Diablo will make custom programming available, but they haven't given us a date when. This put in a bind with a couple of customers because we were told early on that programming for tire sizes would not be a problem. Well, its not a problem, but its "on hold" until they finish some other items they are working on.

Its not that you can't get the speedometer adjusted, its that you'll have to wait a bit.

Cool! Thanks for the info Ken. Are you gonna announce on the site when the custom programs are available or have they set an ETA on when it'll be ready? In the meantime, how far off do y'all think my speedo would be with 35's and a 6 inch lift?

Thanks,
Terry

As soon as I know I'll announce it. The lift shouldn't effect the speedo, the tire size will knock it off by over 10%.
