Diablo Sport Predator Tuner

I just had a Diablo Predator Dyno Tune done on my '09 JK at Extreme tonight, my buddy Lee stopped by to provide some moral support - cheers mate!
I am running all of the poor man's power mods: a K&N CAI with throttle body spacer, Ripp Long Tube Headers and a Gibson Dual Port Exhaust. Yes, it is louder now.
Abdulla is CMR Qualified and did some research before we started. We settled on a setting that gave us 182 RWHP and 224 Ft/lbs of Torque on the Dyno with an air intake temperature of 95F. My seat-o-pants meter really notices the change on the tarmac. We are going to run this setting until we get cooler weather in about 2 months and then see if we can push for 190. My JK is Abdulla's first 3.8l and he was surprised at what we got. The 3.8l is a weakling at best but I think we have started to wake it up.
Of note all of my RPM lag issues with the engine are now gone since removing the Hypertech Tuning and loading the standard Diablo Performance Tune a week ago. I really am impressed with the Diablo. Abdulla has been a huge help and it will be hard to stay out of his shop - its a fun house!

I do not know much about the superchip but I after using the Diablo I will not use anything else. Need to do a few more runs in the dunes and rocks to decided if I want to try and get anymore from the custom tune. I absolutely love the Ripp Long Tube Headers. Clean install, no conflict with wiring...very smart and they sure as heck work as advertised. Only draw back is if you thought the Gibson Twin Port Exhaust was loud....
