Predator handheld programmer

[tbyrne]

We are now carrying the popular Predator handheld programmer -

 

This is the most advanced tuning programmer available today. It has taken the hand-held programmer to a new level. You will notice quicker acceleration and better throttle response. If you have an automatic transmission, the Predator will also give you a firmer, more responsive shift pattern (gas vehicles only at this time). The Predator will raise your rev limiter as well as it allows you to raise your top end speed limiter if you have installed high speed rated tires.

 

A unique feature of the Predator is that is allows you, the user, to “fine tune” DiabloSports program. Since vehicles are located at different elevations or different weather climates, the way the vehicle responds to the DiabloSport program may vary (not all vehicles are exactly alike). Some vehicles will see better gains than others and some may see better (or worse) gains than advertised. This is due to the fact that not all vehicles respond exactly the same. Now, here’s the good news…If you're not totally satisfied with the way DiabloSport program performs, the Predator allows you to make your own adjustments to the program. For example: If you feel that the shift points are too firm, you can go into the program and lower the transmission line pressure (gas vehicles). If you feel that you can benefit from a higher shift point rpm, you can go into the program and raise shift points. If you feel that you will benefit from a few more degrees of ignition timing, you can go into the program and add some timing (gas vehicles). The Predator allows you to "fine tune" the DiabloSport program to meet your specific requirements.

 

The Predator has diagnostic abilities near identical to GM’s Tech2 software. The predator will allow you to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), erase DTC’s and perform live data monitoring. You can monitor your engine sensors while driving your vehicle and much more.

 

This will save the original GM program so if at any time you want to go back to the original factory specifications, it will allow you to do so.

 

The Predator for the Duramax will come with two (2) levels of performance programs (possibly 3). One for heavy towing and the other for the performance enthusiast who wants that all out power. The Predator will also allow you to raise that pesky rev limiter and speed limiter for those vehicle owners who have installed high speed rated tires.

 

Features include -

 

Lifetime Warranty!

 

Screen Size that is 300% larger than the competition

 

Quicker programming (takes approx. 2 min.)

 

Custom Files can be downloaded from internet which allows for future updates and customized programming

b. Advance or retard ignition timing

c. Raise and lower shift points in 10 RPM increments

d. Raise and lower rev limiter in 10 RPM increments

e. Reduce shift duration (time delay during gear change)  (+/- 25% and anywhere in between)

f.  Increase or decrease shift firmness (+/- 25% and anywhere in between)

g. Correct speedometer for gear changes and/or tire sizes

h. Turn on cooling fans at lower temps in incremental steps of 1 degrees (for vehicles w/ factory equipped electric fans)

Will the Predator work with a '98 5.7?

[Import Hater]

I hear this product and LS1edit are all the rave over on Z06vette.com.  We have the latter.  I stay away from the Corvette boards though, so I don't know too much about it.  But you mentioned that it's capabilities are similar to the Vetronix Tech-2.  Will you be able to access and change options in the vehicles body control module?

varmint2506: The Predator is only available for the 48., 5.3, 6.0 and 8.1 trucks.

 

Import Hater: You can view the same info that a Tech II can and modify performance parameters in the PCM. Some of those include axle ratio, fans, a 5%+/- change in the fuel trims, a 2 degree +/- change in ignition timing, shift points, rev limiter and tire size correction.

So I guess the Hypertech programmer is the only thing available for that year.

[tbyrne]

This is correct.

[varmint2506]

This is correct.

That sucks.  The Predator sounds like it can do a whole lot more for the money.

 

Oh well.....

 

[Z71mudder]

Actually, The Street and Performance Electronics programmer will work on that 98 5.7!!

[Zane]

This thing makes me wish i had a full size to mess around with.  

[OCFreedom]

Tom,

 

What kind of differences could u expect on a 6.0 in comparison to the hypertech?

 

What's it run for an '01 6.0 and what kind of performance gains?

[Stomper]

Does anybody have the Predator Programmer that can comment on how it works.

Is it better then Hypertech and Superchip?

 

Looking for the best Programmer for a 2003 1500HD.

 

Thanks
