Diablo.....WOW or NAH??

Just saw the advertisement for the Diablo in the new GMHTP. It claims almost 40 cranh HP on a 2002 Z06.......HOley damn! Is this (or even close to this) possible with JUST TUNING????? If anyone can confirm even 75% of this on an LS1, I'm IN. Plus it can do a ton of other stuff hypertech just can't. Anyone else know about this? Dyno, track results? Thanx

I haven't read the article yet, but I got 14 RWHP from the Hypertech on my '01 Z28.

I saw the GP's and everything for the Diablo but I fail to see it's advantage over LS1 Edit myself. I have yet to see data that proves it's worth over the PROVEN LS1 Edit.

Hell, I've yet to see anyone, who wasn't one of the handful of legitimate tuners, do anything with LS1 Edit that warrants the cost.

I have yet to see what the predator can do, that LS1 Edit can't. You can tune your car yourself with LS1 Edit but the predator you need to buy tuning files from what i've read. I'm not knocking the predator since I know little about it but I'd prefer to get a full blown package myself, like LS1 Edit.

Correct me if i'm wrong here, but alot of the power comes from proper Air/Fuel ratios and more aggressive timing as well as other things. With LS1 edit you can get even more in depth with your A/F curves, shift points for A4's, and etc. The HPP gains power from timing advance usually.
