DiabloSport makes some nice stuff. The price tag is pretty hefty, although it's the right tool if you're going to dig into some parts that most here haven't jumped into, such as long tube headers, replacement throttle bodies or head work. It's a true tuner, and provides real results in the right hands.

The canned tunes that I am aware of on other Chrysler vehicles aren't any better than what Superchips provides. Superchips also has a better handle on the Chrysler PCM in regards to the transmission settings, although I believe we are still waiting for a more robust set of transmission tools to be delivered from Superchips, (I have a 6 speed).

So if you plan to really dive into some upgrades to the 3.8 that are beyond the scope of a CAI and an exhaust, this might be a good fit for you. You'll need to have some tuning skills, or a shop nearby that specializes working with the Diablo Tuners.

If you want something simpler and something that simply works, the Superchips Flashpaq is still the right product for you.

I would also encourage people who own a Superchips programmer to take a look at the DiabloSport product's feature set. There are some things there that aren't part of the Superchips options and certainly could be. I had started a thread which was moved in regards to this but it was moved and didn't get a lot of traction. Hopefully taking a look at what Diablo offers and some of the features absent from the Superchips product can start a dialog so we can give SC a heads up on what features people are interested in.

 

I'll be buying the diablosport tuner. I used diablosport to tune my '04 cobra. I think them and SCT are the best out there for custom tuning.

 

I don't disagree that both SCT and Diablo make great tuning products, but what add on products are you tuning for?

 

Nice, but i do agree. Overpriced and really "too much" for the average JK. I don't think anyone is modifying their 3.8L enough to really benefit from all the tweaks the diablos can handle.

 

Im hoping Ill be able to get custom tuning capabilities with the CMR software. I dont plan on anymore than a cai, headers, and a catback for now, short term. In the future Im not sure if I'd go Hemi or supercharger. Ive dealt alot with superchargers on prior projects. The Avenger kit w/o the eaton, kenne bell twin screw instead, would be awesome. A Kenne Bell would bolt right over since they have a compressor that is a upgrade for the M90. A 1.8L twin screw compressor would be sweet at 7 or 8lbs on 93. IF I supercharge it again, MUCH better custom tuning potential with the Diablosport Predator and CMR software. Not trying to bash Ripp or anyother company out there but I've had my share of issues with the craptastic add-on piggy back controllers used to over ride OBD II PCMs stock tuning. IMHO they are junk and not really the best option for tuning, a band-aid. So basically Im just glad Diablosport is entering the playing field for the JK and hopefully open up the possibility for true custom tuning via flashing, not piggy backing. Hook up my laptop, datalog, and tune from there.

 

You certainly seem like the right guy for a Diablo!

 

I was thinking of long tube headers, porting the stock throttle body and rubbing the head maybe 0.5ml , but I was afraid from the tunning and that i haven't seen anyone tried it yet and if the results will be satisfying without issues

so i stayed on the superchips, guaranteed performance with no issue, although i need some more power but without supercharger or engine swap
