sometimes have to use a middle man to get those tunes,
whoever that may be.
The point is, there are only so many Lightning tunes,
EVERYONE has the same Mods, "Filter-Chip-N- Pulley"
(if we get into KB's + Mag's, I would ONLY do a Dyno Tune)
Bottom line is, it's the Vendor that TELLS THEM what they
want, it's the expertise of the individual to KNOW what
THAT Lighting want's DIFFERANT than the last one.
There are only a hand full that I would trust with those
decisions on my Motor, Johnny, Jim, Sal, Terry, RWTD, USA,
and a couple more are most of them. Up to weeks or months
ago, NONE were actually doing the tune.
The way it worked was simple, YES THEY CREATE A CUSTOM
TUNE, "but" they would have to go to Mother Company to
have that made and sent back to them via computer,
they would then upload that into your chip. As the years go
by you learn which combo's work best in which area's with what
gas and octane and at what elevation. SO sure when you went
for a tune, the tuner had a million files to give you, and even the
little tweaks that seperate you from the last L using that tune.
Again it's the years of tuning that allow the Tuners to make
these decisions, and the've asked for most of the changes before.
Now with the SCT and Black Diablo Chips, that has all changed,
(also the SCT Tuner and Predator I believe)
Now the tuner can make ANY AND ALL changes right there on
the spot and NOT have to go to Mother Company first.
They were doing the tuning all along, but they had to tell
someone else what they wanted. Terry has tuned enough
L's over the years to know what HE WANTS in his Customers
Lightning. So weather he's burning it himself or not, thats
not at all the issue (non of the tuners were), the issue is
KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT for that Customers Lightning,
and having YOUR program made.
Don't ever think because you have a file # on your chip,
it's the same as your Buddies because he has the same
File #, -->WRONG<--
I answered questions, and stood and watched Johnny CREATE
my new tunes Saturday at his Computer. We also had the information on my original Tunes Johnny burned back in early
03 for me, AND WHAT CUSTOM CHANGES WERE MADE to my
file #. SO even though someone else out there may have my old
File #, YOU DO NOT have my tune.
For instance, is your Rev Limiter set on 7500 RPM
Is your Nitrous Program 19 degrees ?
Is your A/F 10. nothing ?
NO NO and NO
(Of course that all changed Saturday with the new CUSTOM
tune anyway, that chip will go in this week some time)

I thought this urban legend was put to bed a long time ago .....
You are suggesting that Johnny is the only one who can make thier own changes to a tune ? ( other than SCT users )
Thats been BS for years ...

Doug,
If I explained that wrong, I'm truly sorry
What I do know FOR A FACT, is up to this NEW STYLE
Black Diablo, Johnny AND ANY AND ALL Diablo Tuners
Were not, could not, and did not, themselves MAKE the tune.
THEY DID create it on paper, but then HAD TO have the
Mother Company actually make it, and send it to them via
e-mail, THEN they would burn it onto your chip. I'm told this
is exaclty the same way Super Chip Did it too.
(If I'm wrong there I'm sorry, BUT I DON'T THINK I AM)
Of course after the thousands of L's AND TUNES they had
Mother Company create, the tuner now had all of them
at his disposal and they COULD use THEM anytime they wanted,
and even the custom changes that also had made along the way.
[b]SO IT WAS VERY EASY FOR THEM TO HAVE PEOPLE BELIEVE
they were building a Custom Program on the Spot[/ ], and in a way they were because they DID had so many variations after all the years, and could choice this from that, and that from this.
Thats why SOME of our Tuners are refusing to tune our old Chip,
because NOW there hands are finally un-tied, and they can do
sooooooooooooooooo much more.

Oh one more fact the community will argue with me about.
SOME RED DIABLO DELTA Chip' s ""WERE 4 BANK TUNING"",
they were always years ahead of the competition. My red Diablo IS 4 bank tuning, THAT IS A FACT. but I want Johnny to be able to make changes HIMSELF without him having to rely on someone else doing exaclty what he created and requested, so for me,
A black Diablo is my Choice, plus I HATE the switch SCT gives you.
The point of this post is, "the Tuner/Vendors ability to KNOW
what they want" . My point about the way it was done was
to simple point out that it really did not matter WHO actually
took the request and put it on a file, what IS important is who (created) the File and made the request.
Why do you think Vendors have been stealing OTHER vendors
tunes all these years, BECAUSE MOTHER COMPANY HAD THEM

I'll tell you what,
Later tonight when I'm home, I'll show you a letter from
A VENDOR HERE, asking me if I want a JLP Tune "
Diablo had on file".
BTW this was BEFORE JLP was tuning for me
so obviously the file was being giving to other
Vendors.

The code I sent was a custom code that another dealer paid for, (I believe it was Johnny Lightning who requested it). If there was a problem with the code for the dealer who paid for it, most likely they emailed him the code privately and I don't have access to it. If I start asking for additional modifications, they are going to charge me "tick" fee. I can't call
in any favors right now for free custom code because Diablo has had the number of custom requests quadruple since all the schools let out for summer.
I put in a request for a code update, I'll see what they have but if they decide its a custom there's not much I can do except put in a request for a standard performance code with the shifts firmed up.

------------------------------------------------
***,
Your killing me dude, I got my Chip back Saturday, and the program don’t work ???
“RMA *******” I choose option #3 after double checking with you to make sure the rev/fuel limiter "would be moved to 6,000 RPM". “You said, yes it would.
Oh ya, now it shifts at exactly 5500 RPM, but not until the Limiter shuts the car down first "at exactly 5500 RPM TOO".
Either that or you have the Limiter at 5500 RPM and the shift points at 5700 RPM.
One thing is for sure, “IT SHUTS DOWN BEFORE IT SHIFTS”, and that happens at 5500 RPM
I need this chip back by this Friday ***, don't dissapoint me please.
AND PLEASE MAKE SURE IT WORKS THIS TIME
Not to mention now I have to pay again to ship it back to you,
"That’s not Fair".
Please try and fix it immediately and ship it back to me overnight.
I know it’s a new program that probably hasn’t been tested yet, but someone should have made sure it worked before burning it on to my chip. You got to get my shift points to 5500 - 5700 RPM, and my Rev Limiter / Fuel Limiter to at least 6000 RPM.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Caruso,
I apologize for the confusion, and its entirely our fault. I have
been unavailable most of the week working at a data-center getting
our new web server ready. ***** **** has been handling a lot of my
emails and phone calls but he's new here so he's still learning the
ropes.
Simply send the chip to:

Mailing address:

Make sure you put "RMA *******" on the outside of the box to get it
handled here the fastest. Also, don't forget to insure the package.
We'll reprogram it within 24-48 hours and sent it back 2-3 day
insured USPS Priority.
Let us know if there is anything else I can do to be of assistance.
Sincerely,

After a REAL tuner saw the file # ABU2BOO6k I posted here one night. He contacted me and told me to send them the Chip and they would burn it for free before I blew my Motor. They also informed me THAT PROGRAM WAS ALSO MADE FOR A SPECIFIC TUNER AND APPLICATION just like the other one.
Once again the Tuner was sending me SOMEONE elses tunes WITHOUT HAVING A FRIGGING CLUE ON WHAT IT WAS.
AND LOOKY HERE, my guess is after they blew up enough trucks
they actually send me a e-mail MONTHS LATER offering to
reburn it for free.

Mr. Caruso,
This email is being sent to inform you that we have updated
Diablo chip code for your Lightning. This code can be programmed
into your chip free of charge (you pay shipping). This new
code is based on feedback from customers and addresses minor
driveability issues. This code was recently issued by Diablo.
If you are interested in updating your chip, please let us
know.
Regards,

After a REAL tuner saw the file # ABU2BOO6k I posted here one night. He contacted me and told me to send them the Chip and they would burn it for free before I blew my Motor. They also informed me THAT PROGRAM WAS ALSO MADE FOR A SPECIFIC TUNER AND APPLICATION just like the other one.
Once again the Tuner was sending me SOMEONE elses tunes WITHOUT HAVING A FRIGGING CLUE ON WHAT IT WAS.
AND LOOKY HERE, my guess is after they blew up enough trucks
they actually send me a e-mail MONTHS LATER offering to
reburn it for free.

Mr. Caruso,
This email is being sent to inform you that we have updated
Diablo chip code for your Lightning. This code can be programmed
into your chip free of charge (you pay shipping). This new
code is based on feedback from customers and addresses minor
driveability issues. This code was recently issued by Diablo.
If you are interested in updating your chip, please let us
know.
Regards,
