Default Diablo sport trinity and 2013 jeep slower after tune.

So I have been messing around with the diablo trinity.. I first loaded the conservative 87 octane tune as I had a full tank of gas already. I immediately thought it felt slower. WTF? So I ran a few 0-60 times to use as a tool to gauge performance increase. Best I got was a 10.7 sec 0-60.

I then reset the tool and loaded the original jeep tune back... Much better throttle response? I then ran a few more 0-60 times best I got was 9.69 sec 0-60 times. Seems odd to me that the programmer was worse even in the mild 87 tune.

Guess I will run tank of gas out. Put some 91 in and try the 91 octane tune if there is not a significant improvement over the base I think the runner will be for sale. Any info or thoughts?

If Jeep could get any more reliable, consistent, non transmission damaging power out of your setup, they would have.

they spend millions to develop these systems.

If you want to 0-60 faster, they sell faster vehicles.

After years of messing with stuff, tinkering, adjusting, and more... at the end of the day, I just want the damn thing to work.

My 2012 smokes my 2004 off the line and rides amazing for 35s. or even 32!

leave it alone, save your money

put some skid plates on it instead

Normally I would agree with you. I have cars that go fast. And while I'm not looking to make my jeep a drag car I wouldn't mind a little more power.

I don't want more power at the expense of drive ability.

When u load a program you are red lashing the computer. U have to drive it around for about 50 miles to let all of the map sensors adjust. Just like u would if u changed ur battery.

I will try that with a 91 octane tune and report back. I have tried to call diablo sport a few times. And will try again this week.
