Default SLP Tuned Predator Programmer Good?

Can anyone tell me if the SLP tuned Predator Programmer is any good? Also, does it have an option of a broadbased tune, or do you have to individually set timing, fuel etc.?

The SLP Predators contain tunes designed specifically for use with their Power Pac for the specific vehicle you have. The tunes are developed by SLP on their dyno to allow for plug and play tuning with their power pac kits.
There is no need to set timing or fuel,as all the guess work is taken care of for you.

Thanks
Mike

they are fairly easy to use,

its just that the majority of the naysayers on this forum are full of **** and dont have any real knowledge or experience on the subject and tend to regurgitate hearsay.


plus its a DTC reader,

Which would you recommend for a car that just has an intake (SLP flow pac) and exhaust (magnaflow)?

Thanks.

The standard U7198 is the one you want.
Theres plenty of adjustment for future upgrades, and custom tunes are always available.

Thanks

I do know of a good Diablosport CMR dealer in Mobile, if you need their contact info, let me know, they can tune the car and load the custom tune right to your Predator...

Thanks

To the nay sayer. 2001 TA six speed. Thunder racing cheater cam kn air filter, lid and loud mouth. Befor dyno 343 hp 355 tq with no tune. Base line was 310 332. AFR on the befor was 12.1 all the way to 6k, Base line was 13.8. with a little tweak from the predator afr was 13.9.1 not sure of the spark. but the end result was 368 hp 372 tq all on the same dyno. we took it to a differnt one and the numbers where +2 of each other. Track time 12.23 110 not sure of the short time.
