Default Predator LS4

I know this doesn't belong here but I want one and I know that a used one is SOOOO much cheaper then buying new. I put this in the classif. WTB section and got no responses. If anyone has one I want it.

BTW- To make this a more legit thread how much of a difference did you guys feel with the LS4 when you installed the Performance tune?

Sorry mods if I overstepped my boundries by posting this here.

What year is your LS4? They only work for 06 Monte/Impala and I believe 05/06 GXP but there is no support for the trans.

Your better off going to Vector Motorsports for a custom tune.

I have seen that superchips makes a hand held for 06-08 Impala, 06-07 Monte Carlo and 06-08 Grand Prix with the 5.3L. Not sure how good it is. Something to consider.

Its really not that bad. Since they have fixed the shift points, the car does feel really good. I have yet to get it on the Dyno and upload this tune as I my friend has it on his 08 Impala SS

I have been using the Superchip right now and it does feel great, but again I have not had a chance to Dyno the car. Since I am selling the car I am not going to go with anything so I thought I would give it a try from my friend.

I can report this after 1200 miles of using it
MPG went up 2.3 total for City and Highway
Powerband feels so much better than stock.
No powerlag @WOT
once superchips got the Point points fixed, the car really screams from 1st to 2nd and into 3rd

Overall, if I was just going to keep this car and drive it the way it should, i would go with his over anything else. If I was going to mod this car, then I would get Vector. But since I am getting rid of it and getting something better, I really do not need anything.

Yes it does. You can either have it on the Superchip setting or change it to up to 20psi over factory.

I just sent my Predator U7191 back to Diablosport. I have a Vector Tune and so my ECM/TCM is locked and the Predator would not work with it. If Diablosport doesn't accept it, I would be happy to sell it to you. I'll let you know.
