Illnali,

Do you have the LQ4 or LQ9? I have spoken to Hypertech and I am under the impression they haven't developed a tune for the LQ9 yet.

Gosh you were reading my mind ILLNALI with this thread.
Does MTI do remote programming? I was looking at the Predator but don't like the one car lock feature.
Not to highjack but has anyone used the Wester's service yet? Saw it advertised on the TBYRNE website and was curious about it. Computer module exchange service, one time pay ( except SH ) and unlimited play.

i would seriously look at vhp tuner, its more powerful than the hypertech and predator, a guy name mark cambell was telling me the options it has after he flamed me ,lol im a believer now, their tuner is capable of deleting tq managment also if you want it to. i just ordered one from vinci.

Talking

if you send your predator back to runninwiththedevil with $75.00 they will unlock it for you so you can sell it.

Thanks hink9. I have been seriously considering this tuner(when I get the duckets), I'm in the same boat as ILLNALI, just want to tweak my daily driver slightly and get a little more out of the cam that I plan to install(can't wait to say "just installed").

Do you know how it removes TM? Is there a prompt for it, or is it included in one of the pre-set tunes?

Also, would this tuner be able to work with a shift kit and servos?

Sorry if this is a thread hijack...I'll start a new one if necessary.

Yah right!
Famous last words,


I hav'd the hyp and predator.
The predator is now a scanner only, updates never worked out for me.
I sold the hypertech but it was fine at first.
It didn't like the AZ longtubes or the stall.
I was running simms so you figure 85 in simms and 325 for the hyp so theres edit right there.
I would go with a dyno tune,
Better to do something than regret not doing it.
I have Nelson now with 4 updates and no complaints.

a) yes famous last words, i'm not doing **** to the truck
b) i cant dyno tune cuz im AWD
c) only thing i'd regret is spending $500+ to tune my truck when im not doing many mods at all.
