Diablosport Predator - 98 Cobra

[1998BlueSVT]

Ok im about to order my tuner but im a little curious if i can fix my speedo with it... it says it can but i thought only the actual gears can fix it.... if im wrong thats great and my order will be well worth it... if not kinda bummed but o well

So,you're running stock speedo gear with 4.10s.

 

[1998BlueSVT]

yes.... and it sucks lol....and i know my mileage is off

I think that a tuner will only correct the speedo on 99 & up:read:

 

[crazycarlo]

tuner only corrects gears on 99 and up cars you need to either order another speedo gear or like most people do and oeder a dallas mustang speedcal.

speedcal is better as most people say teh speedo gear tends to get destroyed because the teeth do not mesh perfectly

 

[1998BlueSVT]

kk well thanks what kind of gains can i expect with the tuner?

 

[1996MysticSnake]

speedo gear gets destroyed just get a speedcal

I dont have any dyno sheets of before and after but my car put down 297/293 with exhaust a canned diablo tune, JLT RAI and underdrive pullies. You will notice a big difference in throttle response and power though. Honestly though if I were you id order an sct x-cal2. I wish I had got one of them for my car instead of the diablosport.

whats the pros/cons over SCT Xcal2 vs Diablosport?? what about the xcal3

 

[SNAKEYE]

I've got 38,000 miles on a Steeda 4.10 speedometer recalibration gear without a glitch.
$25 +/- and a couple of minutes installation time. No wires!

Why did you choose the diablosport over the sct? Just curious. I'm about to make a purchase too.

 

[1998BlueSVT]

i havent yet, its still in the air. im still trying to figure out the pros/cons of each....

 

[98cobradan]

is diablos products compatible with sct, like for the dyno?? Say my tuner has an sct setup for the dyno will diablo products work ?

 

[crazycarlo]

well Diablosport has a great product I love the backlit screen of the tuner and everything but from what I have heard and read people have been waiting a while for an update. And as far as I know the tuner will work only on 98 and up cobras so if you have a 97 or 96 you have to get an x-cal. It just seems more people run the x-cal and they have updates. As fast as the x-cal 3 over the 2 I heard it just writes the program a lil faster. Im not sure of the price difference between the two but if it was a huge gap to me the extra speed isnt worth alot of money when it only take about 5 minutes anyways.
