so far i'm only planning on using this to better MPG, do i install it once and i'm good until i want to change to a different setting/rest to factory?

I installed an air filter from napa along with a 4" turbo back exhaust at the same time as the tuner. Got 2 to 3 mpgs more on the highest setting. I leave it there all the time except for when im towing heavy I put it on Tow mode. So to answer, yes, you change it when you want and leave it alone if your happy where it is. Good tuner to start with.

Yes, you are good till going to another setting. Make sure you change back to factory before changing your battery(s) or getting a new inspection sticker. After either of them switch back again to MPG mode.

As far as I know all you need to do is make sure you either run the engine so the 20% is all used up from the lines and the tank or just drain it all. Also ensure you clean out your air filter and reoil it. Set the carb to factory (because the change in percentage will throw it off the tune) and return the engine. Other than that you should be good l.

Yes it must be added at every change as it will break down with use over time I use Mobil 1 and change it every 7500 miles and vehicle runs like new good luck

I have Plugged it into several vehicles. I find it most helpful! If you only want the instant MPG to let you get the best mileage it,s not necessary to set up all the operating parameters. Which means you can use it on different vehicles at any time. Takes less than a minute to switch from one car to another. Always works.

I have a 2013 charger and felt performance improvement with base tunes supplied, but also a 20% reduction in mpg. contacted Diablo and asked how to modify a tune to see where the MPG fell off, was told they don't give out their tune info (they recommended a tune that was not available in the update), finally was told to return it. Only base parameters such as tire size, rev limiters was available to change in the modify OEM tune. Amazon helped to get me in touch with the seller who said they would help, but never did - no contact back to me.

Yes. Your MPG will increase and you will feel the difference in acceleration.

I'm pretty sure that is a setting that can be changed on the vehicle settings. Refer to your owners manual for instructions. Hope this helps good luck.

You still get all your info just one line at a time..I have a g6 with onstar and it still displays all the info it prompts you if you need to change the language or reset the oil life or you mpgs it all still there

If you are just adding an air filter on you not need to worry about fuel management. If you change your exhaust as well as your air cleaner then you need to remap.

I'm pretty sure you have to install the Regular Gas tune to disable the speed limiter and V4 mode. That's what I got it for and it works great. Not a huge "shifting points" change. It makes the first 3 gears a little faster and more responsive but it's not a huge difference that will mess anything up.

I installed the cat-back and intake on the same day so it might be different with only the intake but I noticed a 2-3 mpg gain after I got over getting into it all the time cause it sounds so good.

I returned my truck to factory settings passed emissions w\o a problem and then returned it to the high performance settings. Its quick and easy. I didn't want to chance taking the test with altered settings.

on fuel economy mode no change in mpg (same) i run now 87 performance what a power diference lower end gets a lot of kick ,it realy shows serious power on 93 performance but i dont want to run 93 because of $ per gal so you'll be happy with 87,i got that unit just for towing i tow 6 k boat than it burns less fuel and pulls way better up hill here in new england would highly recommend cortex (only) nothing else ,my last truck dodge ram with flushpeg waist of money no change in power stay away cortex kicks a.. Buy it and enjoy it

At any given time 85% of my driving is city and I get 18.5-19 mpg. This has been consistent since I've installed the intake. I don't have a before/after comparison because it was installed only a few days after the purchase of the vehicle.

lol maybe like 1 mpg avg . another thing is lost bottom end power but gained mid -high. I guess its got something to do with how the comp is programmed for stock intake diff air /fuel mix. im goin to try programmer to see if mpg improves.

I don't know .... other than to go to set-up where all the adjustments are and see if youcan correct your problem .... I put mine on factory set-up and everything works fine.

As far as question 1 goes I do not know on that, question 2 you remove it after programming is complete. Now this is just my opinion- I read reviews on updating and found 50% either was happy or not happy with it after updating. You can contact superchips tech support on there web site and they will answer your questions. I sent them an email cause alot of my answers varied. As far as I go I'm not going to update mine cause I'm extremely happy with the way it performs. Mine is still 100% original. If you are after performance or gas mileage I did the airaid 300-626 throttle body spacer with k&n 63-1529 cold air intake. With all 3 the himi with not touch my 4.7. Hope this helps you out.
