Default Looking to get a Predator

Whats up guys? Looking to get a predator pretty soon, is it worth it? I've been looking at previous post a most people seem to like it. I only plan on doing a bolt-ons to my car, so im wondering if this is my best option and what gains should i expect to get with my current mods? All info is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

seeing as how you dont really have any engine mods you can hold off until you get headers and start delving into heads and cams.

what he said. if u start to mess with the MAF or anythign else....and headers....then u will need it. but....i wouldnt hold off, i liked the power programing and u can get it custom tuned, cause chanced are u are a little lean right now...not a lot but enough u cna have it adjusted on. i love mine and if i had to do it again i would buy the predator in a hearbeat. if you have any more questions on it pm me if you want

I just bought a used predator.Now they say that the predator can not be reflashed.I talked to Granatelli Motorsports and they said if i send it to them they can reflash it for $125.I bought it for $100.Do the math and it is easy to see that $225 is alot cheaper than $420.As far as suggestions for mods ,I just
installed 4.10 gears in my WS-6.All i can say is WOW!I have basically the same mods as you and this car feels awsome.I can't wait till the warranty expires so I can do the heads and cam swap.Good luck with your WS-6. RAMAIRNUT
