You can get predator for that cheap but they are cannd tunes.

For a custom tuned one your looking at 420.00 at most places.

PM sent 04gambit.

ANSWER:

The pulley tune is for 4 - 6#'s of boost.

Thank you for your interest in DiabloSport!
Stay tuned,

-That is the answer diablosport gave me when I emailed them with the same question.

I have one for 325.00. The units come with a couple of generic tunes for stock vehicles and vehicles with a 2.93 pully. Slap on a billetflow pully and press a couple of buttons and your good to go.

Pay a little more than bargain basement and get service after the sale and custom tune support, IMO. The canned pulley tunes are conservative and don't provide the maximum possible power. Get a custom tune and maximize your power while remaining safe.

RWTD gets my vote.

Like been already said if you get one get it where they can supply custom tunes, the generic tune may be lean low and rich on top. You can also pay some $ to get it dyno tuned or custom tuned if you have a wb o2 monitor or access to one. I tryed to get my tune better via wb o2 still a roller coaster but better. I got a hold of rwtd where I bought it, sent him the info, 1st tune very close, 2nd was flatline 11.8 ~11.9, 2.5k to 6.5k and I got the stall fix too, no speed limiter etc. Like I said you can get him or others ar racing etc. to supply a custom tune, I think it is around 50.00 don't quote me though mine cost 0.00 cause thats where I got it org.

I'll sell you mine for $250. It's stock without the custom tune. I used it once and decided to go with a chip. It's unmarried from my car and in "like new" condition.

I'm out of town on business and will be returning home on 3 Sept. If your interested and willing to wait. Let me know.

so im alittle confused,
the $325 canned kit, you cannot reprogram a new tune on them?
and if you buy the $350+ kits you can have the tunes done by any dyno shop?

There are 2 versions of the predator out there. The original version and updated R12 version. You can make adjustments in the tune but are limited to certain capabilities. The R12 version is much better and lets you make more detailed adjustments. I had the original version and the tune sucked some serious hairy balls. It ran 13:1 in the midrange and 11:1 in the upper range. I ended up getting a custom dyno tune after major headaches.

My suggestion is to make sure you have the R12 version (you will probably get from a new vendor) and get a dyno tune to fine tweak it. You are going to have to take the car to a dyno anyways. Get it all done at the same time.
