So far i have not had the issues i had before & they would have happen by now if it was not fixed based off previous experience.

i had a couple small issues on mine but overall 97% problem free id say. its been awesome to not feel the car limping in v4. oh and guess what? took a drive to wichita from KC which is a 350 mile round trip and got the SAME mileage as i was before the disabler.

I've had the diablosport sprint one for a little while now. No issues so far. I try to remember to disconnect it everytime before I get out of the car, but sometimes I forget. works as intended with no side effects so far.

Started using the range device recently and have no complaints. Always stays a V8 with no annoying V4 hesitation. Just seems to be a smoother ride all around. The range device shuts off when the motor is not running so battery doesn't go dead.

No Cel issues with the range 8.6 version. Any version before that has had issues

do you leave plugged in all the time or do you use the extension cable with the on/off switch?

Anybody else have the Diablosport Sprint unit? I have a 16 SS convertible and just ordered one up. Anyone have any experience with the Diablo one?

Just leave it plugged in. With the new version it shuts off when the motor isn't running. So no need to mess with it

I use Diablo Sport I3 tuner to kill afm. Works great, no cel for 8 months so far.

UPDATE: 6/28/18: I now have 8000 miles on car with tune from Diablo Sport I3. The car runs great no check engine light.
93 tune
AFM disabled
Top speed limit disabled

Just had the famous trans filter and flush to get rid on the trans shimmy. I flashed back to stock and drove it 200 miles to data log memory. The dealer did not say one thing about the prior Diablo Tuner.
I will retune car in 200 miles to be sure the tranny is fine.
