What is a Predator Tuner?
The Predator Tuner is a state of the art high performance handheld computer
programmer. The programmer loads a tuning profile which advances the timing,
optimizes air/fuel ratio, remaps the transmission shift points, and increases
the top speed of the speed limiter. Tuning with the Predator Tuner is very
simple. Just plug the data cable into your vehicle's diagnostic port, located
under the dash and follow the prompts on the LCD display. Remove the unit
when finished.
What are the advantages of
the Predator Tuner?
The Predator Tuner was created with one goal in mind, POWER! 10-30% increase
in horsepower and torque, depending on application. The Predator Tuner's additional
power makes itself noticeable immediately with increases in power that start
in the low RPMs and build into a frenzy at the high RPMs. Once the vehicle
is reprogrammed, the Predator Tuner is removed from the data port. There are
no tools required for installation. There is nothing connected to the vehicle
that might come loose or fail.
A reprogrammed vehicle will notice significant improvements in drivability.
The additional power and improved shift patterns created, will yield quicker
acceleration, firmer shifting, better mileage, and improved towing characteristics.
Whether in local traffic, out on the highway, the power increase in lower
RPMs will yield better throttle response and help maintain speeds on inclines.
The wider power band that the Predator Tuner creates will be noticeable in
city driving, where speeds constantly change. The mid to upper power increase
is extremely useful, on the highway, when passing slower vehicles.
Increased Fuel Mileage
The increase in MPG is a byproduct of maximized engine efficiency. The improved
timing curve and air/fuel ratio creates a more complete combustion, i.e.:
the engine extracts more power from each molecule of fuel. Fuel mileage increases
of 1-4 mpg are typical.
-
300% larger
screen than competition that can be read easily. Not black writing on gray
background
-
Still useable
even if the GM dealership reprograms your vehicle. No need to send the programmer
back for updating.
-
Will not crash
vehicle's computer, has a safety backup.
- Upgradeable through the internet,
there is need to send the programmer back
- Includes full diagnostics software.
Not just a code retriever. The predator will allow you to read diagnostic
trouble codes (DTC), erase DTCs and perform live data monitoring. You can
monitor your engine sensors while driving your vehicle.

Predator Re-Flash
Policy
The predator will marry to the vehicle upon upload of the factory tune and can
not be re-flashed, for any reason, back to a blank tool. This marrying of the
Vehicle Identification Number to the tool is what makes it possible for us to
allow the vehicle to be re-flashed by GM, and still be re-programmed again by
the Predator. Re-flashing of the Predator is not possible without the complete
disassembly, replacement and reprogramming of critical components of the Predator.
**Note: For 2011-2012 Truck and SUV with the 8th digit "G" in the vin number, tuner is NOT supported!
