DownLoad Times of Diablo Predator???

Easy question guys. What's the average download times you've seen with this programmer? And now they've been out for awhile, how do you like it? Are there any new upgrades for it yet?

It takes around 3 to 4 minutes. I like it but it's dissappointing on anything but extreme on my truck. Extreme is pretty smokey but does a good job spooling the turbo. I have yet to see any real upgrades for it but I heard they came out with a stackable version to go with the power puck.

3-4 minutes sound about right. I had been running the highest setting for a couple months and keeping the edge on stock unless I was pulling or racing.Then, I had to pull a big load the other day and was worried about EGT so I downloaded the tow setting I was dissapointed in level one. Dont take me wrong-I had plenty of power for the trailer load and EGT stayed in check but now I have to run the edge on 3 or so in regular driving.
I would update mine if one came out

Ok thnx guys. So does this thing. Does this have a function to delete the speed limiter as claimed? How would you compare it to the orig. BDPP that I have? I'm thinking of getting this, cause of all the other neet functions, but don't want to sacrifice any power. Everything works so well right now, I'm affraid to mess with anything. So I wouldn't sell the BDPP till I got my hands on and tested the Diablo. Anyone stacking with a "HOT" Juice? I'll def be getting that done soon.

Thats the stack I run. No problems since I have had them stacked and I have hooked to a sled and drag raced maybe 25 times between the two. All on level 3 predator and 5 Hot juice. Search "Diablo predator" and check out what I said about it the first time I tried it though.

I was trying to update it and something went wrong now it just says something about corrupted data. Oh well I can still make plenty of smoke with just my Hot juice.
Here's an example http://media.putfile.com/smokin-diesel-style

Got my diablo fixed. My ds downloader software must have been messed up because I redownloaded and installed it and everything went perfectly. Now I have to play with some power puck tunes.

Cool!!! Keep us posted. I'm hoping to borrow someone's Diablo this weekend in Commerce, GA at the Ozone Depletion event there. I know people talk up the Smarty like it is the best thing since sliced bread, but given all the functions/usability/ease of use you get with this programmer, level of power increase, and the ease of finding it under $400 makes me believe it is the best deal going. Add to that, I only know of one or 2 people who have had problems with theirs so far. As you know, if nothing's going wrong, nobody talks much about them after they been out a while.


Hey 98x, you put that thing on a Dyno yet to get some #'s??? If so, what were they?
