Got my Predator! Installation went fine.
I don't think I took a breath the hole time I was loading and changing things :p. First it stores your stock program, then it loads the standard performance program and then you can modify the performance program. I went with shift points of 5900, rev limiter of 6000, 120 speed limit. For the shifts I choose the full -25% for the quickest shifts and +15% for firmer shifts while just driving around town and +25% at WOT for the firmest shift while on it. I didn't do anthing to the timing or fuel curves and may never, to scared . This thing has a nice SOTP gain and the shifts are up where I want them. When it shifts at WOT, the is no slight bog after, so the TM must have been reduced. I did one 0-60 run only after about 5 miles of driving, the ECM will need time to adjust I'm sure. Two nights ago I did a 0-60 run with the Superchips tuning install and it was 0-40 in 3.25 & 0-60 in 6.25 seconds. Stock, the night before it did the runs in 3.44 & 6.44 seconds. So the Superchips was good for .2 seconds reduction in time, but it shifted to low. Just now I did a run and the times were 0-40 in 2.99 & 0-60 in 6.07 seconds, not to bad . I'll keep you posted.

Re: Got my Predator! Installation went fine.
don't be afraid to play with the spark and power encrichment. i think my spark is +3.?? and power enrichment is +2.??. i'll look in the morning to see exactly where they're at. keep in mind, when you make adjustments to that, you want someone to read the ltrims at wot after around 30 mins of driving. they should read zero at wot or close to it. stay neg rather than pos if you can. but zero is the goal. also, make sure you aren't getting any KR at wot either. when i adjusted mine, well with help, it made my truck feel even better. i can actually roast the rears if i try.

Re: Got my Predator! Installation went fine.
on the +15% and +25%. are you talking about the normal shift times and performance shift times? if so the normal refers to normal driving. the performance shift refers to tow/haul mode. hey what are your fuel trims.

Re: Got my Predator! Installation went fine.
from my understanding, you want KR and the LTRMS to be at zero while WOT. negative on LTRMS is ok but zero is better
