New Predator Chip Goes on Sale
Predator Performance (by D.R. Performance) has just released their new chip (piggy back module) for the 2003+ Cummins.
We just installed it on our truck (stage 3...not recommended for towing - 100 whp + 250 ft-lbs torque) and...OMG! It is almost scary how fast the thing and its ability to break the rear end loose.
You can embarass nearly all those rice burners at a stop light.
The predator comes in 3 stages (+ 50, 85, 100 hp) depending on your towing application.
It is currently the best power for the dollar chip out there (we are offering a special introductory price).
Here is the link...
Predator Power Modules
Available soon, predator will release the "PAW" which will function similar to the great edge "attitude". It will allow on the fly power selection (stage 1-3) fron within the cab, as well as EGT & Boost Gauges.
The current module will work with the PAW.
Installation takes 3-5 minutes!

I'm not trying to follow you around Matt,, I promise,, must be the cofee. 
I know Dr. Performance had a tarnished reputation before with 12V and 24V 2nd gens, but this is one chip from Dr. P that I would not be worried to put on my own truck. He has his Act together with this one, and the "chip" is very easy to install. Even an Arm Chair Quarter Back could install one.

Why was their reputation tarnished before, and is anyone running this chip right now?

EGT's ?
Can it be detected by the factory once unplugged ? Also does it raise the EGTs significantly ? Any other concerns one should know about ?

Since everyone knows that diesels don't use spark plugs...ignition is determined by WHEN, how much, and the velocity the fuel enters the combustion chamber (velocity usually has a direct relationship on fuel droplet size...which typically become smaller with higher fuel rail pressures).
Therefore, "Timing" doesn't have anything to do with firing spark plugs but rather where the piston is (in degrees) in relation to TDC (top dead center) WHEN COMBUSTION BEGINS...

Truck Tuner,
I'm new to truck diesels, in fact my truck has not yet arrived but is due next week, so have no real first hand experience. I have read stories on posts about the poor mpg on the latest versions of the CTD so am interested in any chip that may help optimize performance and improve mpg. The Predator info I've read so far only talks about HP and torque improvements. Is mpg gain assumed? Any clarification would be appreciated.

mountain_dog,
Let me jump in here. There seems to be a number of us here that are waiting for timing or timing/duration only chips that may help with mileage, as well as increase power, when needed.
Don't assume any chip will give better mileage. It seems that the timing issue is where the mileage benefit is.
Good luck on your new Dodge!

That is correct...it works by fuel pressure and timing (though predator won't tell you "officially" how it works).

Yesterday I unhooked my 0-100hp Quadzilla and hooked up my level one Predator with my tst just to try it out. Level one is a fueling module, only one connection.
Works very well with the tst , brings on power very strong.
By itself the little Predator is a very strong module - I think better than the edge EZ I used to have . At least the predator always works well the EZ did not. EGTS by itself are good.
I seen the level one dyno +78 Hp on an so. Fact!
One other fact after I took off my edge ez after it was causing my truck to surge - very bad ! My truck was running rough even a week after taking the ez off, intalled the stage one predator and the truck got quieter & smoothed out - very nice power. I was impressed.
