Default SuperChips OR Predator??????

which programer do you recomend. from the research I done SuperChips seems to have more tecnology than Diablo???

I bought a Predator amd installed the tune/increased the line pressure and went to the track.

there was no difference in my ET'S or MPH Imean none.

The only thing I liked was the way it made the trans shift harder.

P.S. the only mods I have are a Lid/Ported MAf/160 thermo/Trottle body bypass/& K&N filter.

Advive needed!!

Thanks,

Jdog36

www.hptuners.com seems like the best tool for the buck now.

If you -had- to have a handheld, it looks like the
Predator has the superior standard capabilities and
more potential when you get into the custom tunes.
Superchips has a central Florida operation and my
Chebby dealer goes there for some stuff, but the
unit itself seems a lot weaker than the Predator.

That said, throw down the extra 80 bucks* and
get real power.

* laptop not included... but if you have one, it's
a "no brainer", which way to go.

don't buy the superchips tuner that is available now. Its not flexible to the general public, and is like a HPP3 with only stored setups, and is not very flexible

your research is right but they are not selling a GM version of their good handheld/computer based custom tuning to the GM side right now only fords through the SCT name.

your "Ported MAf" may have something to do with the poor performance, try a stock one, but i don't expect a noticable gain from a predator on a near stock car like yours
