Default '04 Predators are coming!

Just got a beta verson of the '04 Predators and all I can say is-DAMN!!!!
IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL YET!!
My wife's Avalanche is pretty fast for stock, it made a huge difference in how it ran and drove.
She raced a short bed reg cab bowtie with hedders and short exhuast(dumped in front of the rear end) and wore his *** OUT!!
The adjustments are killer compared to the older Predators, The gas milage has gone up around 2 mpg at this point and not thru playing with it.
Diablo Sport has done good!
ps. should have seen the look on the guys face, getting beat by a girl and a heavier truck.

A woman driver!!
other than that it runs decent stock, but this is a new truck, with the Predator. My '99 with mods is jealous! I can not beleive the power of this hand held compaired to a HPPIII or others that I have had. For the money this is the ****! The '04 stuff runs hard and strong, also gives you the option to pick your octane / tune combo, then you can adjust from there.

I wish I had known more about the predators before I had got one. When you take it off, you cant do anything else with it. Its no good to anybody else, cause it marries itself to the ecm. I'm thinking about getting a custom tune like Westers or Nelson. I had never heard of Westers or Nelson when I got my predator. Everybody always talks good about them.

I was going to buy a diablo till I found out it locks itself to the vin. For the same amount of money as a custom tune, I'd get the custom tune.

Diablo has been telling us that the 2004 programmers will be "available soon" for awhile. It sounds like their release might actually happen in the near future
