So what do I do with my newly ordered diablo?! Haha can I bring it to you guys to tune? I just called up this Subaru/rice rocket kinda place that has a dyno near me and they said this wouldn't be a problem and they can tune specifically for the headers. Do you guys have a tune you can preset so I can save some bones or not yet?

 

Not trying to answer for them but it's GREAT that RIPP MODS is doing tuning on the JK with the Diablosport CMR software and can use the Predator. SOunds like they will be the route I'll go. I'm guessing that once they have some base tunes written for certain setups(ie cai, headers, cats, exhaust), they will be able to email you the tunes and you just upload them right into your predator at home. Then install the tune on your JK, get a datalog to make sure eveything is good, and then you'll have a custom tuned JK w/o ever paying for dyno time. RIPP has the experience and dyno and resourses to get you the best tune for your JK and mods. I'd honestly hold out for the RIPP tune since they would have MUCH more experience than a shop that tunes imports and Subarus.

 

Touche. That's what I'll do. I drove over there today and Ross (who was extremely awesome) said they're coming out with a tune at probably the end of the summer. So i'm just going to run a canned tune for now and wait until then.

 

Any update with this yet?

 

Nope, I was actually thinking about it yesterday. Ripp said they were coming out with a custom tune for the headers so i'm gonna call em today. I really don't want to spend all the money on a custom tune = [

 

Haven't called yet, however I did call a dyno shop and they said I could do a street tune for 270 or a dyno for 450. These are completely custom ecu tuning. Think it's worth it?

 

Do it once, Do it right!!

 

I just had a Dyno Tune done on my '09 JK. I am running a K&N CAI, Ripp Long Tube Headers and a Gibson Dual Port Exhaust. I am thinking about changing the Gibson out.. Availability is the issue here.

My tuner is CMR Qualified and did some research before we started. We settled on a setting that gave us 182 RWHP and 224 Ft/lbs of Torque with an air intake temperature of 95F. My seat-o-pants meter really notices the change - we just installed the headers. We are going to run this setting until we get cooler weather in about 2 months and then see if we can push for 190. My JK is my tuners first 3.8l, he specializes in Hemi Conversions and has his own 620HP JK with a 6.1l and turbo and he was surprised at what we got in my "stocker".

I wonder what everyone else is seeing...

 

hi pseacraft

i've finally done my diablo custom tune at extreme performance

i have an auto JK

before tunning

with 4.88s, sprintbooster, k&n CAI, Borla LT headers and MBRP cat-back

i got 153 RWHP and 190 Ft/lbs

after tunning

although i've an auto, we could get 181 RWHP ( at 4500 rpm )and 220 Ft/lbs ( at 4200 rpm)


I don't feel a lot of difference between the custom tune and the standard tune of diablo on road

but i am going to test it on the dunes this weekend and see how will it performs

all by all, i am happy by the numbers i've got, they are almost as yours so i am good

 

Just got mine in the mail. Anyone recommend anything when I tune? I'm going to use the 87 preset tune and adjust my tire size. Any programs to download or recommendations when I do this? I'm so happy!!!
