How Exactly Do Custom Predator Tunes Work? I'm really interested in the Predator, but I'm unclear on how exactly the custom tunes work. Do I simply send information gathered through the Predator to the company and receive a custom file back, or is there some other means of obtaining this custom tuning? Also, how much do the custom tunes cost?
Thanks,
Josh

A funny thing is, you can do the same thing with Edit. I could write you a tune based off of what you pull out of the PCM. But the emails can take a couple days, depends on the workload of the vendor your dealing with.
Other than that like evilluc said.

Pred What evilluc said. The tunes are easy to get from Diablo. It's like having a Tech 2 tool and edit combined. You just don't have to mess with all the computer knowledge that edit seems need. edit is very good though. I get killer tunes from Diablo, most of the time same day service.

Sweet, thanks a lot, guys.
I think I'm going to go with the Predator instead of LS1Edit/Atap--doesn't sound like the cost difference is warranted.

I E mailed Diablo my info like they said to. That was over a month ago. I think saying it takes a couple of days is a stretch.

I would follow up on that e-mail WS6Rules I had very good service with them I dealt with Johann @ Diablosport and had my new program back that same day. He was also very patient and helpful with my computer problems which were strictly my own ignorance

Boys from the Bay area-pref. SJ State Hi
I'm new around here-a transfer to san jose state university this spring. I have a love for camaros so I Was told to join this group. So, I figured I would post a message here and with any luck find someone else from the bay area (pref. a guy) that may like to show me around the bay or sj state if you know anything about it! Send me a private message!

Must be nice. I've sent mine in 3 times since last September and it never raised my rev limiter. This coming Tuesday marks 3 weeks since I sent it. I bought it through Trevor at Texas Speed, at least he's called me. Diablosport has not contacted me yet. I called them this Tuesday and they said "We're still working on it". I must have been too nice or something. Sure would be nice if they would give me my $ back or a new unit. This is ridiculous. They had my idle on the money and it definitely ran stronger on the tune, just couldn't rev it to 6800. Hopefully no one else will run in to this crap I have.
