Well Diablo finally updated their programmer for the 2008 gassers and man does it work. I have 3 choices for their "stock" programs: 87 octane economy, 91 octane mild performance, and 93 octane wild performance. I chose the middle one, 91 octane mild performance mainly cause we can't get 93 octane around here. The install was similar to the superchip as it took about 3 minutes to save the stock program and then another 3 minutes to re-program the truck brain to the new mid-performance program. I could tell immediately that I had SOP increase, but was worried that the tow-haul would work properly. Actually it work as good or better as it down shifted like a champ. We'll have to see if my mileage goes anywhere, but probably for a while, my foot will be in it a little more just for fun. For now, I can recommend the Diablo and suggest you look at gettinga deal from these guys below who also sell the most fantastic polish ever, Klasse:

Mileage seems to be about the same, about 11 mpg at 8k on the odometer. Shifts as good or better than stock. So far, I like it.

I am running the middle tune which is 91 octane. I just used their program and did not customize it. I like it alot. I also did the drop-in K&N air filter. That's all I've done and don't plan to do anything else to this engine as it runs great.
