What’s could be better than owning a Diablo-possessed ride? Well, I can tell you from experience that it is NOT writing an unofficial Diablo-sport blog like some whacked-out fan boy.
No, the only thing better is actually working for the Diablo Sport team! If you are, or have padded your resume to look like you are, an “elite diesel tuner,” love automotive performance and live in, or are willing to commute to Delray Beach, FL, Diablo Sport has a gig for you. Get the deets here.
If you’re guessing it’s a slow news week, you’re right. Since it’s Friday, and Mother’s Day is right around the bend, we thought you might need a drink. And of course, being the Diablo Sport fan page, the cocktail’s got to be evil.
So today, Barkeep Diablo brings you this classic Trader Vic drink with a twist: The El Diablo Sport Cocktail. Enjoy.
As much as we hate disclaimers, and as much as we want to trust all of you as the mature adults you really are, we gotta say it: DON”T DRINK AND DRIVE!
El Diablo Sport Cocktail
1/2 lime
1 ounce tequila, we prefer John Wayne’s fave, Sauza Conmemorativo
1/2 ounce Crème de cassis (don’t worry, it’s pretty common)
Ginger ale, 7-Up, Tonic, Seltzer, Mountain Dew or your favorite bubbly clearish liquid
Grab a highball glass. Squeeze the lime into the glass and drop the hull behind it. Add ice, tequila, and Crème de cassis; top the glass off with bubbly clearish liquid of your choice. And the devilish twist? Garnish with a skewer of cocktail onions! Dink up (but don’t drive, please)!
Last week we served up a customer review of the DiabloSport Predator Tuner U7194 that a guy installed on his C6 Corvette.
Well this week, we found a guy who used that very same Diablo part number to put the devil in his 2007 Chevy Tahoe with the 6.0L V8. The results? Good!
“Good Result”
“Very Good product and support and performance option and result Strong Recommendation Profissional tool.”
Ibrahem F. – 2007 Chevy Tahoe (Springfield Gardens, NY)
Check out this review from the happy owner of a Diablo-possessed 2006 C6 Corvette. Referring to the DiabloSport Predator Tuner U7194, this Vette owner got more than he bargained for—but that’s not so bad!
“This is an excellent product. I had added an intake and exhaust prior to installing this product. The added acceleration was very obvious after the tune. Sticky or wider tires are now necessary. Very fast. Be careful to read the online manual and pull the proper fuses before you get started.”
Nathan W. – 2006 Chevy Corvette (Henderson, NV)
Whenever it’s a slow news week here at the Diablo fan page, our attentions inevitably turn to our stomachs. So today, we wanna share this recipe for the classic Mexican dish, Camarónes ala Diablo, or The Devil’s Shrimp.
And, since this is the DiabloSport Fan Page, we’ve got a special recipe edition that we like to call “Shrimp ala DiabloSport.”
Warning: this dish is hot! We recommend that you manage the fire with many bottles of premium Mexican beer. We prefer Negra Modelo and Dos Equis, but some Corona or Pacifico will do in a pinch.
Shrimp ala DiabloSport (serves 6)
Ingredients:
3 lbs shrimp, (20-24 count, shelled and deveined)
1/2 onion, sliced
8 garlic cloves, minced
3 jalapeño peppers, seeded and sliced
3 habanero peppers, seeded and sliced
1 small can chipotles in adobo sauce
3 tomatoes
1 stick of butter
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and Pepper
Preparation:
In a large skillet, sauté the peppers in a little bit of the butter.
When softened, toss peppers into a blender or food processor with 2 garlic cloves and all the tomatoes. Blend until smooth.
Sauté the onion slices and remaining garlic in the rest of the butter until translucent over medium to medium high heat.
Toss in the shrimp and cook until they turn bright pink. (Shrimp cook fast, so be ready)
Pour in the blended tomato mixture, cover the skillet and let simmer for a few minutes, until warm.
Stir in the lime juice and serve with rice.
Enjoy!

We did an article awhile back about DiabloSport’s race sponsorship program. We know a ton of you clamored to snag some Diablo sticker space for the side of your ride, and we know the majority of you were rejected.
Well, don’t take the rejection as a sign that Diablo Sport doesn’t really sponsor race cars, take it as a sign that your 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX just wasn’t up to snuff.
Anyway, here’s a cool picture gallery on the DiabloSport site that shows all the vehicle’s they do sponser. And, there’s not an NX in sight, sorry.
Diablo and Dodge, just like beans and cornbread—better together! The blog-n-fools here at the Diablo Fan Page conducted a (very) informal poll, asking a total of one retailer(s) to let us know what their most popular DiabloSport part number is. The results are in.
The DiabloSport Predator Tuner U7137 hand held tuner takes the top spot for the most popular DiabloSport product. And, is it any coincidence that this is the tuner Diablo builds for the Dodge 5.7L Hemi mill? We think not. With street tuners regularly exorcising 500+ ponies from their Mopar monsters, this is one power packed hand-held.
If you’re lucky, rich or old enough to live in Delray Beach Florida, AND drive a HEMI-powered 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, have we got a deal for you.
DiabloSport is looking for the aforementioned vehicle to “borrow” for a few days. Borrow means it will be taken to the DiabloSport coven, where it will be tweaked and tuned with the DiabloSport Predator Tuner by the DiabloSport warlocks.
The best part? You get your tuned Jeep back—and you keep the tuner!

If this Diablo-possessed 1000 hp Dodge Magnum SRT8 doesn’t make you believe in the supernatural, we don’t what will. Lest you think this monster machine is a ghost story or a legend, think again.
Powered by the DiabloSport Predator Tuner U7135, this wicked apparition was caught on video while it was haunting the dyno at the Diablo compound late one night. Be afraid, be very afraid…
It’s a slow news day here at the DiabloSport fan page, so we thought we’d give a shout out to this new type of chip. Australia’s favorite brew, Victoria Bitter, the most popular beer down under (Fosters is for tourists) has launched a brilliant new foodstuff—the beer drinking chip!
Of course, we love beer, and we love chips, and we all love crunching and sipping them at the same time. So, a chip designed for exclusively for this activity—well that’s a bloody masterpiece. Why didn’t we think of that?
