    Experience with "DiabloSport Tuners"

    Got the same codes on my 02Z when I added the VR Power Duct.The Halltech honeycomb MAF screen fixed my codes. Later bought a used Preditor,installed the canned tune and got my LTFT's in the -2 to +2 range. All is well. \db2 carolina

    not so smooth shifting

    Unless you have a mechanical issue,many of us C5Z guys have used the "anti-Venom" mod with some success. Putting some washers on the trans detent screw can make shifting easier. \db2 carolina

    Is Mobil 1 the best choice?

    Someone mentioned Nascar,but every top-tier team has a group of chemists that develop oil for the teams.They don't run the off-the-shelf stuff like we do. Lot's of good oils & filters on the market. \db2 Carolina

    My C5 steers heavy.

    I agree on the tire pressures.I generally run F=31 and R=30.It varies from tire to tire.A tire with a softer sidewall can feel mushy and require a little more ap. Check & change your power steering fluid and make sure the hoses are in good shape. Just a few suggestions. \db2 carolina
