Default Diablo InTune- Just bought it

Just bought the Diablo InTune and custom tune package from DiabLew.

Thanks HELLZ for referring me to the link. He seems to be the man for custom tunes with the Diablo, and goes through quite the process dialing it in.

Cost 485.00. I could have bought a used on on Amazon for 310.00 and saved about 40.00 bucks but when I weighed the warranty vs. no warranty it wasn't worth it to save the little bit of cash.

It broke down to 350.00 for the tuner (very hard to find for less than this price) and 135.00 for the custom tunes.

Local dyno shop familiar with trucks (most are cars) wanted 400.00 for one dyno tune. Re-tunes are 300.00.

DiabLew seemed to be the best, most efficient, most thorough, option for anything outside what already comes on the tuner.

Will do....

You can get this mod first and notice, from what I read, a great improvement with a Diablew tune. Then have him adjust the tune as the mods come in.

I can't believe I didn't look into this chip thing when I first starting adding mods to my truck.

The long tubes are nice, but the tranny is really holding it back.

Default Re: Diablo InTune- Just bought it

well i have a diablo tuner already, its just not a In-Tune one.

i can still do a customized one with diablew... i just dont feel its the right time just yet.

after new headers and exhaust would be a good time.

i do agree i think the tranny is a weak point. i have thought about moving up to a 6 sp when this one finally goes out. my current one is still working very good.. so who knows...

like i tell anyone who listens.. i will run this H2 in to the ground, and then rebuild it with a different engine and do it again.

my personal opinion is:

the H2 gets crappy MPG.. throw a big block in there and give it a real excuse to get crappy MPG. im thinking a 454 or a 502 BB engine.

one a happy note... i just hit 9.9 MPG yesterday on my average mpg
i was at 8.8 with the 4.10 gears.. it is slowly climbing with the 4.88's.

stock before any mods when i drove it off the dealers lot it showed 11.4 mpg average.

so im happy to be close to double digits with all the mods i have listed in my sig.
i dont drive my H2 like a pavement pricess though.. i stomp the pedal, and normal cruising is about 80 MPH for me. i like to get where im going fast, but in style.

You could do the Diablew now and future updates are free, although it does take time.

Congrats on getting better gas mileage. I'm hoping all of these mods add up to some of the same for myself.... but after all... it is a Hummer. ; )

Got the intune and put the loaded 87 tune on.

Wow.... Although its hard to say with 100% confidence since I have other mods , I'm gonna go ahead and say this is the first mod I should have done.

If for nothing else it makes the tranny do things I never thought possible. Repeat... It makes the tranny do things I never thought possible.

Can't wait to find out what the diablew tune does.

Unbelievable !
