OK, the diablo guys an idiot...please help me with tune

[NEEDA5.0]

So I called RPM Outlet becuase after the Diablo install the car is shifting at 6K. So he says to send it back then transfers me to some guy to get a return authorization number. This is also the guy I'm supposed to tell how I want the chip reprogrammed, thats gotta be a bad sign. The guy doing the shipping is also doing the tuning. Anyway, just from talking to this guy I can tell hes dumb as a box a rocks. I've gotta call him back now becuase he was so busy. So...how should I tell this guy I want the chip tuned? Heres what I was thinking:

Stock - Stock settings 87 octane 4.10 callibration (shifting) shifts at stock rmp

Tune 1 - 87 Octane Hard shifts 4.10 callibration early fan/off shift at stock rpm

Tune 2 - 92 Octane Hard Shifts 4.10 calibration early fan on/off shift a little higher than stock

What temp should the fan come on and off? Whats the optimum shift points when racing? (Tune 2)

Why do I have to do this??? Isn't it thier job to tune these?

BTW, he couldn't tell me what they did when they tuned it the first time.

That does not sound good. I am getting ready to call them also. I need some inital timing taken out and a little more fuel. cant wait to see what they tell me.

Get rid of that crap and get a custom tune on a dyno…Diablo sucks…all mailorder chips do for that matter. But good luck anyway

Those times you're running are very close to what mine ran stock except for 4.10's about 8 months ago. Now she's a very low 13 sec car Keep modding and you'll be happy. Biggest improvement to date was switch to Stick and the heads.

Diablo chips are no good in the first place, if you want a chip I'd go with an SCT chip.. mail order tuning is very tough to get right.. find someone locally who has a good reputation and have them tune and reburn the chip. SCT has much better software and capabilities.

A little late now that I've given them $348. Its $218 for the chip plus $90 for a custom tune. So I got the Stage 3 for $318 which gives you the above plus reserves a 3rd spot for later which they'll reburn for free. Can a local tuner reprogram that chip? I'd hate to have just wasted $348.
