I know it's been asked before, but what's the best tuner for the 2012 wagon? Just bought the corsa cat back exhaust. :winchmob:

You have 2 choices, diablosport or bullydog. The diablosport has more of a following but they have horrible customer service. No matter what though you are going to want a custom tune to get the most out of it.

X2 on this. I have a Trinity and it is well worth the money when it works, but when it gets broken when an update comes out it may aswell be a fancy plastic paperweight. And the customer service is very hit or miss lately, it used to be completely worthless. It's slowly getting better but not what it should be for a company that size and for the product they are making. Don't have a custom tune yet but the newer Bullys alao have that option. I do know the Bullys are also married forever to your VIN number, so if you ever want to sell it down the road, you can't, because it won't work on anyone else's vehicle but yours. You can pay Bully to un-marry it, but it's stupid expensive.

I had to send my trinity in to be repaired and the paperwork indicated that Holley owns diablosport now. That might account for the recent changes in customer support

Thanks, which Diablo do y'all have? And what's the best custom tune to get?

I had to send mine in twice when it messed up last time. I was about ready to throw it in the river or run it over and be done with it after the amount of time and effort I had to put in to it to make it work again. I have the Trinity, if you want to have a tuner that's always on and can show real time stats, read/clear codes, change tunes, record data and have cool stuff like a virtual drag strip to measure 0-60 and 1/4 mile times (even though it's kinda pointless in these heavy beasts) it's definitely the one to get. Hemifever used to be the go to guy, but a few guys say White Lightning and now Jay Greene are the better options.

Stickman, I'm originally from Keokuk. Just saw you were from Wayland. I'm out in California now, but next time I drive back, we'll have to do some wheelin!

Damn, that's crazy. Not much here to wheel though other than private property. But we'll definitely have to meet up. What color does your wagon happen to be? I have only ever seen 2 other wagons other than mine around here. 1 some old guy was driving and it looked brand new, identical to mine when I bought it, haven't seen it since. The other I saw 2 separate times pulling out of the Smokerz Outlet in Alexandria on my way to work. Is it grey with a leveling kit or small lift with tires & wheels?
