I'm not sure how to post the dyno chart, any help?
I scanned it at a bitmap and it says to large to send? A little help here for the computer illiterate.

As for the tuning, it sure feels real. It was dynoed on the same dyno stock, and after tuning within an hour. The guys from thunder racing were great.

And it feels like I got more hp than that by the sotp feel. but looking at the chat, it's just it peaks faster, higher, and then keeps a really flat hp and torque curver for a longer period of time. There's probably a couple guys on here that post on Badrap (outof tampa) that either know me or know of me and know I'm a real guy, not somebody thrown on here to push the predator. If I can, I'll try to email you the dyno sheet if it'll accept a bitmap since I can't seem to figure out how to post it.

I'm not sure on the '96 - '98s yet. Hopefully not too long. Your pcms changed drastically in '99. Even some early '99s I hear has the old style pcm.

SO how is this thing different from HPPIII??????? Does H-tech claimed around a 25-30 hp gain also

I'll admit I have only read a little about this product but I don't see how it can compare to LS1edit or custom tuning

Bfb,

I was interested in this product a while back, but I am having trouble getting a list of the functions that will be available from the Predator.

No one is doubting the HP gains available with custom tuning by DiabloSport. Unfortunately, many of the people on this site are highly technical and like to do a lot of their OWN tuning, rather than have someone else tune their vehicle for them.

Assume I was to purchase this product when it was released for the ~$500 that was mentioned on the Corvette Forum. Without going to DiabloSport for custom tuning or pre-made PCM programming from previous vehicles, what, with just the Predator handheld module and my own brain, would I be able to do?

Specifically, what parameters can I independently alter? I'm assuming you have the basic things, such as gear ratios, transmission shift points, firmness, etc.

Will I be able to, on the fly, select my own rev limit, Spark timing/advance, and fuel curves without having to download custom programming? Are these parameters just generally adjustable, or will we be able to adjust advance and fuel delivery at different RPMs and throttle positions?

Also, what OBD-II parameters can Predator monitor, and at what refresh rate?
