: 2005-2012 DiabloSport Trinity Tuner

Let’s delve into some high tech tuning talk! The DiabloSport Trinity Corvette Tuner is one of the most advanced C6 Corvette Tuning Devices on the market. With the capability to tune, log and record data, display and customize virtual gauges, read and clear trouble codes – and even compute multiple track times, the DiabloSport Trinity is the answer to all of your EFI tuning needs. Trinity supports all vehicle applications under a single part number which means you have the option to tune multiple vehicles with just one Trinity (Only 1 vehicle can be tuned at any given time). With a high resolution color touch screen, state of the art graphics/GUI and the ability to customize gauge layouts, the Trinity enhances the interior of any Corvette.

DiabloSport takes extensive care in providing it’s customers with the most powerful, efficient, and warranty-safe tuning available. The Trinity’s tuning options vary depending on the vehicle that is being tuned. The DiabloSport Trinity also supports custom tuning and can hold an additional 5 custom tunes. The Trinity contains the most adjustable parameters in the market.

With over 100MB of on-board memory devoted solely to recording and playing back diagnostic PID/DMR data, it allows users to record hours and hours of continuous data streams directly from the vehicle’s PCM/ECM. The Trinity interprets PID and DMR data received from the OBD-II Diagnostic port on your Corvette and converts it into a readable format: A Virtual Gauge! Individual user customization is one of Trinity’s most recognizable features. With Trinity’s dynamic gauge layout, there is literally an infinite number of combinations/customization of gauges to view! Users can even set up gauge alarms and shift points based on precise vehicle data, using the Trinity’s LED lights.

Using parameters such as vehicle speed, peak torque, wheel speed and others, the Trinity is able to accurately compute quarter mile, 1/8 mile or 0-60 and 0-100 time trials. Keep in mind that these numbers may or may not be accurate depending on variables, but they sure are fun to see! The Trinity’s virtual tree allows users to choose to either monitor their reaction time (like the real world) or have the tree start when they press the gas from a stop. There are advantages to both!

Trinity can also be used as a diagnostic code reader. Save yourself hundreds of dollars each year by reading/clearing your own computer codes rather than paying a Chevrolet Corvette dealer to do the same. It’s as easy as a few simple steps. The DiabloSport Trinity’s diagnostic code reader function can be used on multiple vehicles at any given time.

C6 Corvette Predator Programmer — Corvette Predator Programmer

The C6 Corvette DiabloSport Predator Programmer is a state-of-the art, high performance tuning flash programmer in a sleek handheld design. Once connected to your C6, Z06, or Grand Sport Corvette, the Predators internal computer recognizes the PCM and automatically picks the proper tuning files designed specifically for that PCM. Inside the Predator’s memory are the actual tuning files that optimize spark timing and air/fuel ratio curves. Unlike other “tuners”, the DiabloSport Predator programming is performed in very small increments throughout the entire RPM range, for a smoother, wider and more predictable power delivery. DiabloSport engineers spend many hours on the dyno, street, and track to ensure the tunes provided with the Predator are the best they can possibly be for your Corvette.

Installing a DiabloSport tune on your Corvette using the Predator Programmer is simple and only takes a few minutes. You should know that the very first time the predator is used on your Corvette it will automatically create a backup of the original factory tune. If your Corvette has previously been tuned you should proceed with caution as serious engine damage can occur if the Predator tune is installed over a non-factory or aftermarket tune. We recommend having a Chevrolet dealer reflash your Corvettes ECU (Engine Control Unit) to its original settings so there will be no possibility of damage to your Corvette.

Before starting to install the tune be sure that your Corvette is parked and the engine is off. All doors must be closed and all electrical accessories must remain off. To install the tune, plug the Predator into the diagnostic port. The predator will recognize the vehicle and then give the options of performance tune, diagnostics, or options; select performance tune by pressing the continue key. After reading the disclaimer you can now turn the ignition on being sure not to start the vehicle. Next highlight the type of tune you would like to install and follow all prompts to turn the ignition on and off. While the tune is being written, be sure not to interrupt the process or ECM damage can occur. Once completed, you simply unplug the Predator and cycle the key to start your Corvette’s engine. The predator also contains several DiabloSport tunes that have been tested and approved by their engineers. You can install your choice tune as is or you may customize the tune to meet your wants and needs.

If you are planning on having your Corvette serviced it is recommended that you restore your Corvette back to the stock tune. This can be done at any time using the restore feature on the Predator. No need to worry if you have customized the tune as it will be saved for future use.

All C6 Corvette DiabloSport Predator Programmers come with a manufacturers two year warranty that covers defects in materials or workmanship. Be sure to Register Your Predator Programmer to take advantage of the warranty as well as other benefits including tech support, software update notifications, product benefits, monthly giveaways and more.
