LLY or LB7... What do you have???
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.
- Improve shifting: add firmness and precise shift
points
- Adjusts speed limiters / Raise top speed limiter
- Program installs in less than 5 minutes. No
long waiting
- Improves timing and fuel curves
- Reprogram your processor for optimum performance
and drivability using download and flash technology
- Allows fine tuning adjustments to timing and
fuel curves of DiabloSport tune
changes
- Adjust shift points in vehicles with automatic transmissions,
and increase line pressure for quicker, firmer, more precise gear changes
- Ability to re-tune vehicles after factory re-flash of PCM
- Predator flash tool allows custom tuned downloads
- Correct speedometer for larger/smaller diameter tire/rim
combinations.
- Multi-vehicle diagnostic tool with live data monitoring and
fault code scan/erase capabilities
As you can see, the Predator is
literally years ahead of the competition. It has taken the hand held programmer
to a whole new level.
Power Profiles
Stock Tune: with adjustable speed
limiters. Speed limiter to approximately 120 MPH varies based on vehicle set-up
weight, tire size, 2wd vs. 4wd, etc. Multi-vehicle diagnostic tool with live
data monitoring and fault code scan/erase capabilities
40 HP and 100-ft/lb TQ - Tow
Tune, made specifically for towing. DiabloSport recommended weight limitations
based on manufacturer suggested limits for the vehicle.
65 HP and 150-ft/lb TQ - Economy
Performance Tune, designed for Economy and Performance, fuel economy depends
solely on driving style, and will vary from vehicle to vehicle. DiabloSport
recommended weight limitations of 8,000 Lbs.
85 HP and 195-ft/lb TQ -
Performance Tune, designed specifically for performance street driving. DiabloSport
recommends this tune not be used for towing.
120 HP and 240-ft/lb TQ -
XPerformance Tune, designed specifically for opening a can of whoop-ass (pardon
the expression). DiabloSport recommends this tune not be used for towing.
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.
