im wonderingthis programmer. i dont see much talk about this programmer. now i'm thinking i bought the wrong one

 

A Diablosport Predator tuner came along with my RIPP supercharger kit.

Previously, I had the Superchips Flashpaq tuner, running the 91 octane tune. As part of the RIPP install, I had to flash my Jeep back to stock with the Superchips, then flash the Diablosport tune (still 91 octane) onto the Jeep so that it would backup my stock tune and send it to RIPP.

I must say, while I'm not the biggest fan of the programmer itself (bigger form-factor, stiff buttons, requires USB to serial interface ), the tune was actually pretty decent. With the Superchips tune, my transmission shift was a bit harsh (kinda "slammed from 1st to 2nd, 3rd when I got on it) and the Diablo tune was much smoother.

All in all, I'd say the tunes themselves are pretty close in terms of performance, but I like the shifting of the Diablosport tune better. In terms of tweaks like TPMS, Idle RPM speed, etc. Diablosport has that stuff too.

I do really like the Predator realtime data viewer/capture (although it only captures 9 minutes of data - not sure what the Superchips did because I could never get it to work right) and the ability to run Diablosport DataViewer program to check out all the data. I could never get the Superchips data viewer to work under Windows 7 x64.

Not sure if this sets your mind at ease but I guess what I'm saying is that it's a pretty decent and comparable product.

yea it makes better kno some else got a feel for it. i bought one because the 4wd salesman swore by it, but it been shipped to my house as we speak, but i just didnt see much talk about it does it recabilator everything like ur speedometer and what gears u have? and did u notice a gas improvement?

 

Just took a trip with mine, with and without tune. 18 mpg into the wind and 22 with tune and K&N side wind. Never had 22 in my Jeep and I'm on 4 years. Did have it dynoed and with both the K&N and tuner set at 87 tune, I had increased 10 hp and 20 torque. I can only imagine what the 93 tune would be. Not ready to fill tank with 93 for the cost yet. Happy with the 20 for now. I like it.

 

I just installed mine last night.. did the 87 octane, gas mileage, stock, and tire size tune. I have a '10 Rubicon 6 spd sitting on 35's.. definitely felt some increase in power and it runs a lot smoother now. also my gas mileage immediately started going up from 12.5 where it was at.. lol. let's see how high I can get it.

 

Make sure you download the newest update off the website. I did not then had to uninstall it, download it, and then reinstall it. I like it so far. My only issue is the low tire pressure light won't go off even though I have the pressure set to 0. I just put on 35s and I like the performance so far.

 

yeah those updates were a little confusing but I managed to make it through.. I'm throwing an MBRP exhaust on when it gets here, and RIPP headers down the road. combined with the Predator, should make some decent power.
