Those 2 you mentioned seem to be a very popular choice.

Both the EZ and XZT are good choices. And I also recommend the Rokktech crankshaft sensor for a little extra timing.

The predator increased my mpg, I was averaging around 14.6 after the performance tune it went up too about 21. These were hand calc's so they are pretty much on. I am happy camper now! I also switched to synthetic oil so that may have helped a little. Some others are running this maybe they will chime in and see what they are averaging. I probably would get better if I was not in the throttle smoken out the Edit drivers here, but its fun! I did it to a local cop twice at stop sign's, I could not even see his car. Figured he pull me over, but did not.

floridagc, which Predator do you have? I was looking at a tripple play (I think that's what it's called). But so far, I'm still leaning towards a Bully Dog. What did you pay for it? One more question...how high are your egt's when the Predator de-fuels? Sorry for all the questions.

Depending on what you are planning to do, remember that you can add the Commander to the XZT at anytime and it makes it adjustable, including an off position and it will de-fuel and do all that sort of stuff later on.

Not sure if you alread have gauges or if you pull but, sometimes it gets overlooked that you can combine the 2.

I would highly recommend not running the triple dog on a 03, they dont work nearly as good as they do on later models, and to be honest I still think that the predator is a much better unit, (custom tunes et al), I know that i like it much better

www.rockktech.com and it's about $70.

Or you can do the tone ring mod for free. Do a search on this forum for more info.

stock03, I have a Diablosport Predator, thing is awesome, I think you may be referencing a different predator. They will tune it to your specs if you wish. I paid around 330.00 for the complete setup, charger, cable, tuner.
