i have a DR.P preditor. one plug & forget it works well if your satisfied with one safe power level. it shows the best mpg.

i also have BBDL, performance is good, WOW setting is WOW. but if you not looking for the power the DR.P is fine. DR. P shows more mpg on the overhead but its not true.

My dealer sold me a Predator level 2 and said he would still cover my warrenty. It definatly woke up the beast...I did a 600 mile round trip on a tank of fuel and hand calculated 23.2 mpg, the overhead matched the figures.. Around town I got a 17.5 hand calculated and the ovehead said 17.0 mpg??I would say about a 10% increase in mpg. I'm not a throttle jocky and tend to go easy on things I used the same driving habits. I could sure tell the power was there on the pass! you don't have to lean on the fuel to keep up the speed.....I like it!

I have nothing but positive to say about Dr. P. Predator stage 1. Excellant power, fuel economy and low egts. What more could you ask for?

I have the Dr. P stage III and I love it. My fuel milage only gained about 1 mile to the
gallon but as far as power is concerned I am very pleased.

I like mine. I've been getting 1-2 better mpg (that's about 10%!) WHILE TOWING and the overhead and hand-calcs are close, if I keep my foot out of it. It really brought this S.O. to life.

Real easy to install/uninstall too.

everyone seems pretty happy with their choice in boxes, you just have to decide what you want out of it.

I have had no problems at all with any part of my truck so far. Tranny seems to be taking it pretty well. Of course I drive my truck around 70 back and forth from work and try to keep my foot out of it from a dead stop. It is really hard though. I will be getting some dyno results here in the near future. I'll try to keep you posted.

The EGT's can climb pretty quick, but never get over 1200° unloaded, even when floored. Pulling my trailer up a grade, I have to back out of it to keep below 1250°. I'm sure I could hurt something if I pressed it. My intake is still stock though which I'm sure doesn't help.

What would you like to know? Cruising flat @ 70mph, 650 deg., wide open 800 deg., climbing a 7% grade @ 70mph, 850-900 deg., climbing the same hill, doin 90 mph , the max I've been able to pull is 1000 deg. How do those sound? See my sig for truck specs/set-up.
