I had one of those way back when. They are mated to your VIN if I recall. You'd need to contact the company you bought it from and see if they could make it work for you.

you can't... you'd have to have two separate predators if you wanted both cars to be tuned at the same time...

no way to do it, no way around it, period. they are locked to the car's VIN and can only be used on that car it's locked to.

to tune the other car, you'd have to restore the original backup to car #1 to unlock the predator, and then you could use it on car #2.

And thank you for your words of wisdom.

Apparently you have no clue as to our tuning capabilities, maybe you should look into it a bit before you make statements like that.

Lets try this one for starters:

Only 786 rwhp on a stock bottom end, and its still alive, being driven daily in fact. Even just drove it up to the PRI show from down here in sofla, over 200 miles each way. Flashed with a lowly Predator....

I use a Predator and have had great luck with it. Yep, it only does what it advertises on its own but I have Rick at STS do my custom tuning for me. I use my Predator and wideband to complete a feedback sheet that I e-mail to STS and once they build my tune, they e-mails it back to me. I upload it to my Predator then into my car. It is way better (imo) than regular mail order and there's no mailing your ecm back and forth. I usually get my new tune the next day and he never misses as long as my feedback is correct.

So, unless you have a tuning shop near you or you want to use HP, Efilive etc., it's a damn good way to go. There are many CMR shops around that can send tunes via e-mail. Pretty simple and completely effective. The real time data is helpful, too.

So, 1 bad load, define your idea of ****....... Nevermind, who gives a ****.
