Predator... how's it working?

Those who have the new DiabloSport Predator, I'd like to hear any and all opinions about all the power levels, etc.
Thanks

Don't want to high jack the thread but dogetech77 do you have an auto or stick, if an auto any problems? also do you know if the predator makes a back-up of the stock program or just puts a generic stock program like the BDPP.

I have an auto and no problems so far. The shifts seem to be alittle tighter. I think it backs up the original program.

I have been running the perf / econo tune works real well with my 6 -speed . The data logging is a SWEET little bonus and I hear downloads are out ................ 200 hp tune is coming soon !! Puts out a nice lil cloud off idle when you want to ........ just ask the clown in the BMW convertible that cut me off 4 or 5 times in bumper to bumper traffic today !!!!

Mine didnt work at first ,but Diablo sent an update and now it works great. It said my vehicle wasnt in the database. Strokin have you tried it on anybody elses tuck? Can you get your money back? It is to bad they couldnt help you because this programmer will really burn the tires.

What you are experiencing has nothing to do with quality of TQC. You have the dreaded defuel Tourque management hitting when you mash down. Believe me, when I say this. I have fought mine for months now. Tried BD RAD -didnt help. Tried jumpering speed sensor in transfer case. It worked untill the truck realized something wasnt hooked up right and went into limp mode - 2000 RPM tops.

You will like the stack. Especially if you like smoke. Try DP on 3 and the EJH on 5.

predator

I have my predator for 7-8 weeks now ,and only use the extreme tune ,once I put it on perf tune but it was so much difference that I stopped at the first corner and loaded the extreme back in.
since mine is an , 03 SO ,it really wakes up.
For the money I find this unit awesome.
I am thinking about stacking it with a module,but don,t no which one ?
I love to buy a twin turbo kit when money is there so I think I should buy the tst to work with a predator if thats possible.
