Diablo Sport Predator + Intake

Ive got a diablo sport presdator tuner and AFE intake on my 03. I was just wondering if I could put it on the extreme setting and not have to worry about the tranny? Anyone have an estamation for the HP/TQ output? I have been using the performance economy tune, so far so good. Just want to know if I can push a little more.

That programmer will eat a stock tranny for lunch. It is a wicked little unit, puts out impressive power.

What else will I need to run it on the extreme setting? Tranny mods, gauges, ect? Catback exhaust is on the way. Also the tranny is an auto if that makes a big difference.

Guages are a first no matter what... always. Then a bigger turbo to cool egts. And if you're gonna run hard, a trans is a must also. Extreme is just what it's name says....

put some free flowing exhaust on there, to help keep egt's down. You'll be fine after that. My dad and brother have been running the extreme program on completely stock trucks for atleast 25000 miles. They haven't had a problem yet. Just make sure it you pull, take it off the extreme setting.

I have to respectfully disagree with your recommendations using the extreme setting on the Diablo. From a standing start, I can hit 1600degrees in a little over 4 seconds. That is not safe, nor will your turbo or engine last much longer at those temps. Just my experience...

WOW, I have never run the diablo without all the other mods, but that seems like alot... But I guess that it is throwing alot of fuel at it

Alright so I am getting in pretty deep just by going to the extreme setting. Well my goal is to end up with about 450 RWHP. Be specific with what I will need, there is alot of stuff available I want to make sure I am looking at the right stuff. With that said, how can I get to 450RWHP safely?
