Question Diablosport Predator Questions

I just put the tune that came with the predator and love the way it feels when it shifts in DD driving and WOT shifts. I have an A4 with 99000 miles stock tranny on it. I have read the forums on torque management and predator tune 101
But I have questions that I couldn't find the answers to

How much torque management is removed on the predator tuner?
I haven't changed any other settings on it.
Will the tuner hurt my tranny because of the high miles?

Some say don't remove it all the way with high miles, some say remove it.
I need some opinions

It wont hurt your trans so long as you dont play with the shift firmness with it. Guaranteed it will blow shortly if you do. It did on my 96, not a diablo it was a hypertech, but it did the same crap. Get a shift kit if you want safe improvement to your auto. Car had 70k on it with no trans problems at all, trans blew 2-3 shift in less than 2000 miles. My trans guy told me the handhelds make him plenty of money!

Also get yourself HP Tuners, download the current tune, return to stock withthe handheld, and sell it. Then re-install the tune with HP Tuners and your right back to where you were, with the option of tweaking things a whole lot more.
