Read up on an article from GM High-Tech comparing different hand held programmers. I am debating between the Predator and superchips. Here are some of the results for both. I wanted some help understating why either one had different HP and TQ gains with different Air/Fuel and timing settings yielding different power gains. Also, what would be "safer" or ensure the longevity of the motor. My car is an 2002 Camaro SS 20K miles with a cut out and blackwing lid SLP 345HP package, Thanks

The superchips yielded more horse power gains but at what cost?

The Predator A/F is spot on for a generic tune, and I really dont see a need for more timing that we run on a stock car.
Plus, the Predator has a gangload of adjustable parameters that allow you to fine tune the PCM to your car, and you'll get all the support you need either here, or on our support forums.

Let me know if you have any specific questions regarding the Predator.

Thanks

The superchips is leaner than I would run a car.
