That's dope that they double as a performance reader too. I see we got music too! I'm glad someone else sees the Camaro as 911 GT3ish. It's a perfect driving machine. The 1LE is very similar to the GT350. The main difference is power delivery. Can't wait to race my ZL1 to your tunes 1LE. Next channel car will be the Nissan Z?
Lol I know man that it pretty dope about the tuner, and yeah man I feel like a FBO SS 1LE would be right there with a GT3 in a drag race, and man I just can't wait to even see your car lol hurry up GM! And no that's close but it won't be the next channel car.
Will this work with the 5th generation I need the limiter off it only hits 118mph
Love it, you rocked that SS on the highway 🛣
Lol glad you love the content!
These are great if you just plan on doing a tune, and that’s it. If you install headers and catback exhaust system, you should absolutely take it to a performance shop to have it dyno tuned, so they can also tune your TCM and not just your PCM. That way you can have them custom tune it to your exact wants and needs.
Agreed.
No ZL1 support currently, but if someone wants to bring one by for a couple days so we can develop tunes....we're ready :)
Got it thanks for the update I'll see if I can get #QueTheChaotic to bring in his once it's finished being built and delivered.
Is it plug and play no need to unlock computer and does it void the warranty??? I have 2020 LT1 with 18000 miles
Hey my 2017 keeps saying one or more ecus need updating . Updated it same thing .
Great content. As a ZLE owner, I am a huge fan of the SS/1LE for it’s harmony and balance. You will be surprised how amazing it is on the track. Neutral and Beautifully balanced. Cheers!
Thanks I appreciate it, have you taken your ZL1 to a drag strip yet?
@@RaceCarFriends No, the ZL1/1LE is terrible for the drag strip. There is no slop in the suspension. Barely any rubber in the chassis. This is a road course special. You should also take your car to a road course 😉
@@AllIsWell_22 Oh okay I didn't realize you had the 1LE ZL1, but yeah you're absolutely right, I plan on doing a road course here soon, I'll post the video once I do it.
I'm just commenting because I love your username, the world needs more of this.
@@lovecars1094 Yup that is a pretty honest name, and it's true too.
Is there a way to change the burbles using this tuner?
Not that I know of unless you get a custom tune.
This what I came for….wanted to hear the pops n bangs 😁
Let’s do a Camaro rally in Florida get Que to come down here get out that Michigan cold 🇺🇸💪
I'm down I think he's actually going to be in town this weekend!
@@RaceCarFriends oh really , you on the east coast ?
@@camarbro1le Yup yup.
Good informative video. I have the same identical Black 1LE except mine is a 2018. Thinking of starting my channel as well. I have done significant amounts of mods to my whip. The hardest decision for me was weather to stay naturally aspirated or go forced induction, because the SS 1LE is such a Balanced beast at the track. Too make a long story short I couldn't pass up nor resist have an extra 150+ HP.
Thanks a lot I really appreciate it and you should definitely start a channel with that beast I'd luv to check out your content!
Thanks for the shoutout! You got some new intro graphics?
You're welcome fam and yeah the wife hooked me up with the new graphics lol.
@@RaceCarFriends it’s dope! 🔥🔥🔥
Watching you open your trunk… made me realize there is a trunk button I never knew about 😂😭
LMAO Good times!
I ran a 12.1 quarter mile in my stock 2017 2SS 6 speed manual on Michelin pilots on a country BACKROAD. I'm gonna be in the high 11s on a Dragstrip. And i just ordered that Diablo Trinity Platinum tuner, JLT cold air intake, throttle body spacer, Borla Axle back exhaust NPP dual mode
Dude you're one heck of a driver! It's going to be awesome to see what times you get with your new mods!
Cat back system exhaust would b better on performance and noise
Loving the content
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Been thinking of what I want my next car to be. I want v8 power no Stang. Camaro is my first choice of being cost effective with the price hike now. I have kids that like to ride so I’ll have to wait on the vette. And the scat pack charger is over priced. Plus I always loved this machine
It really is an amazing car I can't find much fault in it at all.
Scatpack like 60 bands 😂 you can get you a ZL1 for that price
@@ImaAutoGeneric You're right I was looking for one recently and they were all 60K+
Did you do any timing or afr adjustments ? If you did, whats the best setting for the car?
Hi I didn't make any adjustments I just used the DiabloSport Tune.
I like this!! For a Quik tune and some Quik power vs the HP tuners price
Agreed 💯
Hey, I just got a 2018 Camaro ss. Is it simply plug and play ? Do I have to get anything else or do I just buy the tuner N it’s plug an play ?
Hi yes it's simply plug and play.
@@RaceCarFriends couple more questions, do all Diablo products have the same tune ? I don’t wanna spend the 800 if I can buy the 400 dollar one an still have the same off the shelf tune you have
A popular performance shop on CZcams dynoes a tuner (like this one) then erased the tune back to stock, with the hand held tuner and gained power. They shown these things don't really work.
I actually took the tune off of mine too but for a different reason because I felt like it was pulling too hard up top and I wanted to calm the car back down, but now I feel like the car does feel faster overall but more so in the low end.
Beautiful ride
How did u determine the power gains?
I was working directly with DiabloSport on the tune and they did dyno tuning and that was the number they got to the wheels on the dyno.
@@RaceCarFriends So you can datalog and send them to Diablo? Then they send you a revised tune? I have a 10sp 1LE. E-85, Lt2 intake, and Roto-Fab. Tuned before the intake and cold air. I just don't wanna drive 2hours to my tuner to get it done again.
@@bobbywilliams1823 Hi Diablosport don't do custom tunes, but there's a lot of pro tuners that uses their CMR software that you can do your data logs and send your files to and they will do a custom tune for you.
Any tips for modding a 22 ss 1le? Looking to go with cat deletes intake and a tuner. I would appreciate some feedback especially with some brand suggestions!
Hi if you have one of their Platinum devices you can adjust WOT timing and fueling, but it's recommended that you use a pro tuner that uses their software and you can have them save the tune on your tuner and switch between tunes.
Do you have to keep the module hooked up at all times after the tune or can you un plug it
You can unplug it as soon as you're done.
I heard changing the stock tune will void your warranty. That they can tell how many times the car has been turned on since the tune was changed so that even if you change it back to stock they will see the key turns and know its not the original tune.
From what I know you need to have an actual problem resulting from the tune for them to not warranty something. For example someone can install a tune and then take it right back off without having any issues with the car, how can they justify not warrantying something then if there's problems with the car later on? It has to make sense otherwise all tuning companies will go out of business.
It looks really easy to do and I would love to do that, but it's just too expensive for me
They have a couple of cost effective options if you look through their website.
@@RaceCarFriends can you also use it to tune other people's camaro thats the same yours after you done tune yours already ? The reason I ask is because it could be a nice hustle
@@pimpjuicedp I think you would need to buy their more expensive tuning software in order to do that.
Seems pretty easy to install,do you know if you can an iPad to install Diablo tuner ? Great video thanks 🇺🇸💪
It is and sorry no I don't know if it will work on an I Pad I think it will need to be a computer, but I' not sure you'd need to contact Diablosport on that one.
@@RaceCarFriends ok thanks man
My car may be tuned already but I don’t know it came with a few bolt ons + a flex fuel sensor. Would it upload the tune that the car is currently running or would it upload the oem factory tune. I really have no idea if it has been tuned by the previous owner and if it has I’d like to compare to the Diablo sport
With the Diablosport tuner I believe it will save the factory tune of your car and then you will be able to upload their tun to your car afterwards.
So I know this product is not available in California, but let's just say I get my hands on one. When it's time to smog it will it still show on the smog test (and fail) that it was tuned at one point even though I would return it to stock settings? 2017 2ss
To be honest I don't really know but from what they told me they build the tune with smog testing in mind so it should.
@Race Car Friends thanks bro, living here in California makes everything a little more complicated! Aside from turning the car (Roto-Fab CAI and Stainless works Cat-Back installed), I want to delete the reb limiter and the AFM. So this seems like a multi-purpose item to where I can hopefully put it back to stock for smogging. If that's the case then now I just got to figure out how to get one since they won't ship one to California 😅
@@408DJGUERO You're welcome brother I feel bad for all of our fellow car enthusiasts out in CA, good luck let me know how it goes.
Nice man. I got the platinum p2 for my 17 camaro ss.. What size your tires are set on? My diablo tune setting set my tires to 29.5, is that correct?
To be honest man I never even checked that I just went with the Diablo tune and never looked at anything else lol.
👍
Have you done a before after comparison with someone you've raced to see if it made a difference. I'm thinking about getting a diablo myself but I probably get the custom tune
Lol literally just raced someone today that I raced before and it made a HUGE difference!
@@RaceCarFriends Roll race? Or dig
@@galil12346 Dig's it was against the 800HP Subaru STI.
@@RaceCarFriends Whoaaa that's alot of power. You on street tires or a radial?
@@galil12346 Stock tires, I'm actually looking to get new ones now cause I already started spinning in 2nd.
Yes but I don't know is someone do the question, but I want a see numbers before and after putting the diablo system. 🤔
Okay.
So what did it do tho? How much hp did u get?
Roughly 20 HP increase and it pulled up top really hard!
How much horsepower did you gain from the 91 tune?
I did the 93 tune and that gave me 20 more HP and you could definitely feel it, my guess is that the 91 tune will be around the same numbers.
15 hp from the 91 tune. And you definitely can feel the difference. Because of the insane amount of low end torque, I was spinning from a stop and I was feathering the clutch out. Insane power from this tuner. I only have a roto-fab CAI and a borla s type axle-back
How do I get the 93 octane tune added to my device?
Hi you should be able to download it from their website.
I have a 2020 lt1 and it sucks you get a v8 Engine but limited to 150 does this tune remove speed limiter?
Yes you can remove the limiter with the tune.
Lmao you ain’t finna be going past 155 hopefully lmao
LT1 was limited to 155 due to not having a diff cooler or aero. Mostly the diff cooler.
@@cgip1340 just an update went 182😭
@@websterjrcameron Jesus brother 💀 they gonna put ur ass under the jail😂
This man said it’s like a Porsche gt3. That’s a little bit of a stretch. Maybe just a base 911.
Lol I dunno I've driven a GT3 and yes the handling and refinement is better, but the sound and feel of the SS 1LE makes up for it as far as being fun to drive.
I have the same car. But my brakes are black and I have side skirts on the side. How do you get rid of swirl marks in the paint. I love my black Camaro, but I swear you can see every imperfections. Any advise will help, I scare to take to someone else. Because, I think they will fuck it up too.
Aww man that's a tough one, I'd say the best thing you can do is take it somewhere to get paint correction done, then have them ceramic coat it, then you can just hand wash it yourself afterwards.
Will this work with the 5th gen?
Yes definitely it actually works even better on 5th gens I had a 2013 SS 1LE and threw the Diablosport tune on it and that car got a lot faster and felt way more powerful than even the 6th gen Camaro did.
@@RaceCarFriends my 2013 is limited to 118
@@deleted....2000 😳 Wow is it a 6 Cylinder?
@@RaceCarFriends yessir
@@RaceCarFriends it's my dad's he just got it and we where disappointed but I was telling him that they make tunes that removes the limiter and bumps the power
Did you unlock your cars pcm ???
I believe you can pay to have it unlocked through Diablosport.
How is your car holding up now after using this thing on it a couple times years ago?
I actually only had the tune on for like 2 weeks then took it off, I actually traded out of the Camaro for a Type R but I didn't have any issues with the tune at all and the Camaro is still running strong with it's new owner.
@@RaceCarFriends cool because I just got the i3 tuner for my Camaro. Looking forward to using it
@@TheGhostLT1 Nice you're going to enjoy it.
@@RaceCarFriendsdid you make any changes to the gear ratio?
@@TheGhostLT1 No I kept it stock and traded it in for a FL5 Honda Civic Type R
Hi, just a question about the sporttuner cause I have a 24 Camaro 2ss redline with a 6.2 manual, I put an intake but now I'm getting a code with the air mixing and the fuel do you recommend this for my car since you already installed it and how are things still holding your car with mods..
TBH I wouldn't know I traded out of my Camaro a while back but I never had that issue when I installed my CAI.
The tune you are referring to is the Modify Tune that's already on it?
Hey whats up yeah the tune is already built in.
@@RaceCarFriends cool. I'll give it a shot on my ZL1
@@AnkhsZL1 Awesome let me know how it goes, what year is your ZL1? I'll message them now and see if they already have a tune for your car.
@@RaceCarFriends I'd really appreciate that. It's a 2017
@@AnkhsZL1 No worries I'll go check now brb.
I have 2020 2ss…do I need to do anything with da pcm or it plug n play to my factory computer???
As far as I know it should be Plug N Play.
Hey will this damage the engine in anyway? And would this void warranty?
TBH it's possible, anything can damage your engine I'd advise against making any modifications to your vehicle if you're concerned about your warranty.
Will this help with check engine light problem after getting a new Downpipe.
Yes it should be able to if you take it to a tuner that uses this platform.
How much power difference between the DiabloTune and 91 Octane tune?
Not sure yet I'll find out and let you know.
@@RaceCarFriends Thanks!
@@machtoogoofy No problem you're welcome.
@@machtoogoofy Hi I just got word back from Diablosport and the difference between the 91 tune and the Diablo tune is 7 to 8 HP.
@@RaceCarFriends Thanks! Do you know if The Trinity has the ability to make a Pop tune?
Nice video bro thanks. And nice car. Glad.you got a manual. I ordered a 2023 2SS from the factory, coming soon. Maybe I'll try the Diablo Tuner..?
Thanks man I appreciate it, and congrats!
Did this tune remove the 6500 rpm rev limiter?
To be honest I don't even remember it's been a while since I've had this car.
Do they have tunes for 2021 Mustang GT's?
Yes they have Mustang's beating out all the competition, as a Chevy guy I'm not that happy about that but yeah we all know how Mustangs respond really well to tunes and mods.
Does it work on all 6th generation? So though new 2022. Can't find anything online about it
Hey from what I know they cover all of the 6th Gen Camaro's up til 2022 and they are currently looking for someone with a 2022 Camaro in central Florida to bring in their car to do a tune for the 2022's.
I was following Que The Chaotic however he kept changing vehicles . He even at one point got rid off his camero said he hated it .. I think he went an ti a helcat . Have not been on his channel in a while .
Hey whats up Donavan I'm glad you're here I appreciate your viewership, but just wanted to let you know that Que recently got a Rapid Blue ZL1 now so you should go check out his channel as well.
@@RaceCarFriends well ill check him out . I'm the low man on the totem pole . I only have a 2018 1LT v6 with the RS package . I'm going to Doba cat back delete but I heard the v6 doesn't faitmee well and no one wants yo tune then
@@yapdonavan128 Man I was super close to getting the V6 Camaro 1Le as my daily I really wanted one but the wife made me get a 4 seater instead.
The 19 ss
Yup.
Hmmm I wonder if this tune would work with headers to
Hi I think you'll need to take your tuner to a pro tuner and have them pr tune it using the Diablo software at that point.
@@RaceCarFriends thanks for the input , just wondering , I have a 2017 2SS with a 8 speed auto and there are 0 videos regarding Diablo tunes on that set up lol .. your cars nice though boss keep it clean
@@Cyberronnin No problem and thanks brother I really appreciate it.
Does that thing make it possible to do an AFM delete?
TBH I have no idea lol
So before you load the tune, where do you send the list of mods you've done to your car like LT headers, x-pipe kit, axle-back, etc?
To be honest I don't know I don't remember seeing that in the options.
I spoke to Diablosport today and they said to do what you want properly you'll need to do a custom tune through someone like www.diablewtune.com/
Is there a way to remove it though so I wont void my warranty?
Yes to me that's the best thing about going with DiabloSport to tune your car you can take the tune off and put it on by yourself as many times as you'd like.
Is the diablo tune the same as the 91 tune?
No the Diablo Tune is a 93 tune.
So it doesn’t have preset tunes ?, I have a 2020 2ss all I want to do is an CAI, bigger TB and a car back, don’t really want to take it to a tuner just want something to make sure car runs well with the simple mods. Plus it is still under warranty so I would want to be able to set it back to factory.
Yeah it does have pre loaded tunes.
Do you have an update on the tuner? Given this video is a couple of years old?
Not really, you can go to their website www.holley.com/brands/diablosport/ and they should have answers to any questions you have now.
What did you do to your car to need a tune?
Hi just a CAI
@@RaceCarFriends did it make a big difference?
@@camarochris78 Not down low, but up top yeah major difference the Diablosport makes a huge difference top end.
Is your pcm unlocked ?
Not sure tbh.
Which one is it, Trinity EX or Trinity EX Platinum?
Hi the one in the video is the Trinity EX Platinum.
@@RaceCarFriends Thank you!
@@mebullo No problem you're welcome, do you plan on getting one?
@@RaceCarFriends Yes
@@mebullo Awesome let me know how you like it once you have it installed.
Is it the same thing for a lt4
It depends on the year I believe some of the older years they should already have tunes for them.
How much was it total to have ur car tuned
Hi there's different programmers you can choose from I'll send you a link so you can choose the right one for you, this is for the 2021 model year though, if yours is a different year you can select it through the website: www.diablosport.com/shop/v/chevrolet/camaro-ss/2021/6-2l/
If your ECU is locked it will just cost $40 to get it unlocked, then you just pay for your programmer then you're good to go.
How many hp do this add on the tune
Roughly 20 HP if I remember correctly.
Will this void warranty?
TBH I don't know, from what I've heard is that it can only void your warranty if it shows that the tune caused the problem that you're having with the car.
I love the camaro but the comparison with the gt3 ends at NA, this isn’t even remotely close to a gt3 whatsoever
Not money or technology wise but they're both great on the track and have a strong following of people that love them.
How often should I tune?
Lol no idea.
Say goodbye to your warranty
Lol Hasta La Bye Bye!
Do you know if this would work on a 2022?
Not right now no, they will need to have a 2022 Camaro to work on first.
@@RaceCarFriends Is there any product that is out for me to get to turn off the active valves
or if i was to just use it to leave the npp exhaust open all the time, that’s the only thing i need it for as of right now
@@allenwang9950 I think your best bet is an aftermarket exhaust or maybe find a mechanic that can keep them open for you at all times. I think a muffler shop will have some resources on how to make that happen for you.
Is painful to see that car´s roof (and paint) being used as a working table. Why not take the time to cover it up with a towel or something smooth so not to scrath the paint with ?
Lol I feel you, it's ceramic coated though so no scratches.
@@RaceCarFriends Good for you man, that helps. Gorgeous looking car.
@@hb-ol9oc Thanks a lot I really appreciate it 🙏
The music isn’t good it’s too much going on
Yup
Really it's your car and your money this programmer is over 500 dollars if you are wanting more power for your car for 200-250 dollars more you can find a good vehicle computer programmer that would be much better than this Diablo hand held programmer a good custom vehicle programmer can unlock more power than the Diablo can and if he's good and does a good custom flash to your computer you'll have more power throughout the entire operating range of the engine or power band including low and mid range and in the upper rpm range not saying the Diablo isn't a improvement over the stock tune a custom tuner can be more specific and change settings to extract more power than the Diablo can gaining power throughout the entire rpm range will return you a faster accelerating more satisfying car more so than just something that increases only the top end or upper rpm range I've had hand held programmers and custom flashed tunes there's a big difference in end results that are very noticeable even at part throttle compared to stock or hand held programmers
The good thing with this Diablosport programmer is that you can use it to monitor your vehicle, and you can also use it to get your car pro tuned as well, but they also have less expensive programmers that can be use to just tun e the car as well.
Damn boi 🔥
Lol
