Hello there.

My name is Mike Litsch. I work for DiabloSport Inc., a world wide leader in mostly domestic gas and diesel handheld tuning solutions.

We have been watching this market for a while now, and we are strongly considering the idea of bringing a handheld tuner/remote custom tuning solution to the Genesis world.

Some of you may be familiar with some of our past and current offerings. We've been offering full custom tuning for the entire Mustang lineup since the late 90s, we were the first to ever offer any tuning for the 05+ Corvette applications, we offer the only true custom tuning solution for all 05-current HEMI vehicles, and we even have a very strong presence in the SRT4 Neon market....yeah, we like tuning boosted vehicles too

I'm here to gauge interest, and do a little homework, thus I have a few questions for the community....

So far with the limited info I have gathered, it looks like the 09-12 2.0T models are pretty similar, and use the same PCM. The 13 got an electronic WG and some other changes, but is it the same PCM?
Whats up with the 3.8 V6...seems to be the most untapped market. How many V6 guys are out there ready to shell out some cash for a handheld device that ships with preloaded tunes for premium fuel, allows end user adjustments to specific parameters, and can accept custom tunes from our CMR software through tuning dealers (via email or on the dyno), and allows datalogging, code reading/clearing, etc...?

Can anyone provide part numbers for the various PCMs? That gets the ball rolling...
Anyone have a spare PCM they would like to get rid of?

I've heard some rumors of an open source project....anyone working on that who may prefer to get paid, well, hit me up

We're open to talk with any of the companies currently offering tuning solutions, as we can offer a huge worldwide distribution network, and these types of collaborations can be good for everyone in the long run.

I promise I'm not here to sell anything, and I hope there are no vendor rules being broken here. I promise we'll sign up to support the forum the day we have something to sell you guys, just like we do on countless other forums currently

Anyone that has info to share, we're all ears.
Any questions you have, fire away, I'll do my best to answer them.

Hopefully the demand for the tuning solutions we offer is as prevalent as I think it is, and we'll see this market grow like so many others we have jumped into.

Thanks!!

I will. I am not going to get a tune that I have to wait 6 months to 1 year to get a tuner to travel to my town. Just doesnt make sense to me. Handheld or bust.

By the way just to throw out some numbers:
528 people say they are interested in your tune (Total number in Poll).
Say 20% follow through (intentional low ball)
Price is $500
528*500*.2 = $52,800
assume 100% and total is $264,000.

I can't wait to finally ditch my BTRcc ecu and CMD. Hopefully this can be ready for spring when I pull my car out again. With the weather we had in NH this morning, I may be putting it away way earlier then I expected

Your check bounced when I tried to cash it. I knew your bank account number looked funny!

depends how fast stuff falls into our lap at this point :)

Well I guess the whole point of this handheld is that there will be tuners around the county that would be able to do a custom tune if they have diablosports software. Correct me if I'm wrong mike. This is just from memory as I don't feel like going back so many pages of nothing.

You sir, are correct :)

Custom tuning in person or via email with proper datalogging will be options in additions to the preloaded tunes in the device.

hmmmmm would orlando count mike?

You could send one up my way to test in Ocala where there's curves and elevation changes rather than just flat roads. Just saying. ;)

I'll be glad to do some desert testing. A few extra tumble weed power would be nice.

So, the sales guys have been doing some 'market research' to determine what directions we should be heading in the immediate future, and to help organize/prioritize some of the projects we have going currently.

After a lot of yelling and explaining that they were not looking at the numbers correctly, guess what is apparently #1 on the list now?

I'll keep you guys posted, but this would move this to the front of the line and get it on the fast track to release :)
