How you guys liking your DIablo Predators?

Hello. I just got back from a long vacation. Had the Superchips on tow with the boost fooler. Works great for towing, low EGT's. But last night I put it back to performance tune. I got on it a few times today and was no that impressed. Any probs with the predators? Will the performance tune kick butt over the Superchips performance tune? Any reasons to stick with what I got & wait?

Thanx.

I heart my Predator


You will be very pleased, and if you are not, then download a custom tune, or extreme RKL, or puffer... The possibilities are extensive, and teh support is great. Any doubt bout that and go check out the forums @ diablosport.com

Good news guys. What is a gdp392? I all ready have a new clutch ready in the garage. It is a sprund double disc with the 3250 plate. I am going to look on e-bay & truck addons.com to see what I can find, price-wise.

Thanx.

Funny. Truckaddons.com has the stack for $378. They sell the Predator alone for more money than the stack.

I hope your not planning on pulling alot with that dual disc 3250 if so good luck. But you will love the diablo especially the rkl aka(road kill lary) LOL. Its really good tune and smooth with the r16 update the puffers arent available for the 06-07 trucks yet neither are the custom tunes like with the 03-05 trucks due to no memory space available in the downloader. But Johan is working on it. The GDP392 is a glacier diesel performance aftermarket lift pump great kit.

local guy said he really likes his stack tune on his 07. he has run alot of different stuff on trucks thru the years also. I think he means with a dual disc they are pretty grabby for everyday use. with most of them the engagement is in or out

i've had pred for about 2 weeks now and love it. i keep it on the 100hp setting and it is very smooth. i only smokes when you get on it until the turbo spools. it makes awsome power.

i can't wait to try mine on 160 and get a puck, but that will wait till next spring when i drop some $$$ on a tranny...

Very nice power curve. The non-stack tunes w/ no puck feel much better than the stack tunes w/ the Puck though.
I almost paid over $300 for the Predator alone when I heard about the combo for $378.00 How could I not get the combo for that price?!?!?!?!....
The 7131 for our 06-07 trucks doesn't do a whole lot of the extra stuff though. It basically gives the power and clears codes. That's it! They are always trying to make improvements though so I'm sure one day there will be some more options for us to download.....

Does it do high idle & tire size? I was really happy with the Superchips until the new update with the weak performance tune. Power, high idle, & tire size will keep me happy (and no annoying CEL's or other problems of course).

Thanx.
