Default Diablo "Predator"

Ok since i really don't like the idea of just ordering a set tune.I was thinking about getting one of this things, but i am unsure if it would be any good after i through a set of cams in the car with high compression (11.2.1). are these lil self tuning computer worth the$? here are some option that it comes with.


· Timing Table (+/- 10%)
· Fuel Table (+/- 15%)
· Idle (+/- 20%)
· On/Off switch for Traction Control/Rear 02 Sensors (Off-road Exh)
· Speed Limiter
· Rev Limiter
· Part and Full Throttle Shift Points
· Shift Timing
· Shift Pressure
· Re-Calibrate Speedometer for Gear and Tire Size Changes

It also has Diagnostic Capabilities and Live Data Logging and Monitoring Capabilities.
They say that if a programs not avalable for your combination, that they will custom make one and load it into there web site. then give you a password so that you can DL it into the predator then into your car. so would you buy it? $410.00

Looks like a pretty nice, user friendly alternative to some sort of stand-alone ECU. Superchips is also releasing something very similar.

its not available yet for the GT, should be soon though, i use them on LS1's and 03 Cobras, I also just got the software for the fords to load my own programs into them so i'll no longer have to deal with the programs they use at Diablo.

its awesome, Sam just did my car and it seems to be holding any boost levels you throw at it so I think it would take your little n2o shot

I also got mine from Sam, it is a really cool piece. The datalogging and scan capability alone is worth it.
