I Ran a Predator tune for a year and Loved it. Just put a Wait4me tune in friday night and Like it more than the predator and it cost 1/2 the price. the predator still has all the T/M enabled and I had Jesse remove what he thought was safe. Now my big *** truck can break the rear tires loose, It wouldn't before. as for the fan harness White1 sells his for 2/3 the price. PM him, he'll hook you up....

Go with a Nelson tune and you will have the best tuning out there.

I Can't and won't knock Nelson, I contacted him about a tune before I made my decision. I just couldn't spend that much right now (I just bought Tires and rims) But I am very happy with my W4M tune, He did Very well!!! I have drivin it on the same 10 mile loop to the Gas station (Beer Store) and Back a few times. It seems to get better everytime I drive it. The Last time I went I had to "Walk the Dog" on a dude in a 90ish chevy pickup, Big cam, Duals, Mags W/wide *** tires, Yada, Yada, anyway He saw when I was Leavin, Made it a point to pull out when I Did, Then Got his Friggin Feelins Hurt. and I was being easy cause my A/F ratio is still a little lean. I see Him there every morning on the way to work. he probably won't even look at me no more, Ha, haha. I guess don't think your old Red Neck bucket can hang with the new tech stuff. I'll shut up now, just got back from the Rodeo across the street. May have been drinkin, (I had the wife drive me there on the Rhino, so I didn't drink and drive)

just get a good Predator dealer to work on the calibration in your truck. This can be done with the hand held.

If I get a tune, it will be W4M tune, because my truck is bone stock except for CIA and exhaust. A Nelson tune would be worth it if you have a cam, head, NOx, header, exhaust, CIA, and FI (super or turbo).
