    Hi,

    I'm going to instal a AFE stage 2 and a predator tune this WE for the first time.
    I've read almost all the thread in this forum about diablo, but still need to know for sure.
    I'm in Belgium and I use 98 Octane wich is about 93 in the US.

    With the AFE, I was thinking to use the 93 octane anc CAI on the Diablo.
    Can I use the tune without modification OR do I need to modify the fuel maping also.
    I've read that most of you use +5% fuel accros the band.
    I only use the car as a dayli trnasportation and don't race it.

    Am i save with the stock diablo setup or not?

    Tanhk

    Nice wrench you just threw out there. lol

    I think Mike from Diablo can best answer this one since you have a bit higher octane.

    IMO, I think you would be ok using the 93 canned tune from Diablo?

    Yes, use the 93 CAI tune, as your 98 octane is about the same as our 93.

    No need to make any other changes, unless you want to bump the shift points up a bit.

    Thanks
    Mike

    Everything went fine!!
    coulnd't test it as it's wet and cold.
    question:
    is the tune altering the ESP?
    It's look like it's less sensitive.
    Thank you
    David
