My predator came with the stacker tunes. Fill out your sig and I'm sure some other guys will jump in. I leave mine on the extreme stacker tune so i have a little adjustability with the puck. Make sure you have gauges though. This puppy will run hot.

Diablo predator has stacker tunes and regular tunes built in to the downloader. If you want more power and you have a 03-05 you can get puffer stacker and its great us 05-07 guys are dying for it.

Your truck will run better with no puck and the Predator on the non-stack tunes. Mine does anyways......

I actually made more power with the puck off (only 3 hp more, but...). The puck just made the power come on earlier.

Thats what i have been told too have played with the puck much not a huge fan but for the price and someone wanting some fuel mileage cant beat it.

I couldnt tell much of a difference with the puck on or off... it just feels like the power comes on a little quicker

If you flip on the puck during acceleration you can definitely feel it. I leave mine off most of the time and just use the non stacker tunes. While towing I use the regular tow tune, and flip the switch when I need a bit more oomph. Other than that it stays off.

What do ya' mean Creed? I ordered the stack, and have yet to open the box with the puck. I wonder if it smokes more with the puck. What are these ''puffer tunes''? I have seen it mentioned but don't really know what it is.

Thanx.
