Usually, it's best to let a pro do it for you! Go see Deigo at DaSilva racing. He did mine last summer.

If all your after is the generic tune that comes with the tuner 10-15 hp
you dont need to seek professional help its pretty simple when sitting in the car
below the dash by your right knee theres a code reader port just plug the diablo
in and follow the prompts like Tear said it holds your hand and walks you through it.

IMPORTANT: make sure ALL electical devices in the car are turned off (stereo,lights,etc.) close your doors and lock them my brother opened my car door on me and the track when i was modifying my tune between rounds and the diablo had a brain fart and my car wouldnt start i had to reinstall the factory tune
then start all over from scratch with my tune that i had (i never wright down what actually works that would be smart and easy) other than that any problems PM
or email me or tear also

Simple combos typically take 2-2.5 hours, and more elaborate set ups, around 4 as long as there are no mechanical or wiring issues. I frequently encounter bad installs, wiring, and improper sensor location. I wont tune around these issues as some tuners do, and i will charge accordingly for my time to ensure the job is done properly.
I've trained with Jerry @ SCT and Greg Banish of seimans VDO. I have 10 years experience in the industry, and over 6 years calibrating Ford Vehicles.
I currently charge $100/hr.
