Id like to know what u guys think of the Predator programmer. Thinking of getting one till i get more mods and dyno tune it. Let me know. Thanks

 

I really like mine. I'll admit it may not give you as much performance advantage as a mail order tune, but I can change stuff myself without having to send my PCM anywhere. Plus the stock tune is still there if I need to go to the dealership. I have noticed good gains with mine and I have seen about a .5 sec reduction in time at the track. JMO

 

The cost of a Predator will buy you HPtuners and you'll get MUCH more out of that than you will a hand-held

 

Im to stupid for HP-tuners. I cant even understand the main page on there web page, wtfs 1bar 2bar tuning and **** like that?

 

Have a dyno tune done then.....trust me, the money you'll spend on the dyno tune will not only be less than you'd spend on the the Predator, but you'll also get alot more out of it

 

I agree with Yelo on that.
You never know until you try with HPTuners though,you can get a hing of it,just ask questions and read,there is alot of great stickies on HPTuners sight that would really help you out and get started.

 

Also for 1/2 the predator cost you can have a wait4me tune, and still have your stock ecm if you have to go to the dealership. I'm not knocking the predator, I ran it for a year and loved it. I just wish I had found this site and all the knowledge before I bought it, cause I like my w4m more. once I can scrounge another couple Bucks I'm gonna try the Hpt. But you can get more for less if you want..

 

Well i went with the programmer. But i have a lil problem. I went to the track and my best run was a tenth slower then when my truck was stock. Stock i ran a 16.7 and now i have a K&N cold air, Magnaflow catback, and the programmer and ran a 16.8. WTF??? i filled up with premium gas before installing the 93 oct. tune. and removeing the torque mangment. Other then that i didnt touch the thing. Something fishy here!!! I just sent a email to Diablo explaing that same thing i am here. i hope i here somehting back or maybe from one of you guys. If you can help let me know. Thanks. Also I did all the mods within 3 monthes of the last time i went to the track till i went again.

 

Also you should increase your shift time, add some timing and lean the fuel out a little. Alot of time to be gained in those changes.

 

no, didnt mess with any of that cause i dont have a a/f gauge. Lil to worried ill kill it. but if u have know what i can tweak too with det. let me know.
