What to do and what NOT to do with Predator
I'm going to most likely order it tonight for my 2003 Auto GT. Now here what I know to do.
Max out timing for 93 octane
Firm up all shifts
Disable traction control ( I freggin hate it!)
Adjust cooling fan temps ( Whats stock temp? and what should I set it too?)
Delete top speed limiter
Now heres where I have questions..
Should I adjust the A/F Ratio, Rev limit or any other fuel tables? What else can be done?

the sct only offers a bit more adjustability really.... and it depends on what shops near u use to tune, i have the diablo and it works very well. plus i have a site where you can get them for 319 shipped to your door, if u want it lmk. thats where i purchased mine from.

RE: What to do and what NOT to do with Predator
I think they bacially have the same options...
Predator:
Dual timing adjustment points (2000-4000 RPM / 4000-7000 RPM)
#
Timing table (+10% / -40%)
#
Dual fuel adjustment points (2000-4000 RPM / 4000-7000 RPM)
#
Fuel table (+40% / -15%)
#
Idle (+/- 20%)
#
On/Off Switch for Traction Control
#
Raise Speed Limiter
#
Rev Limiter
#
Re-Calibrate Speedometer for Gear and Tire Size Changes
#
WOT Shift Pressure
#
Part throttle shift firmness
#
RPM Shift Points
#
Torque Modulation (for better shift feel)
#
Cooling Fan ON/OFF Temperatures
#
Rear Oxygen sensor disable (use for off-road vehicles only)
#
Disable EGR (use for off-road vehicles only)
#
Internet Updateable
SCT:
Fuel Adjustment Yes
Spark Adjustment Yes
Read / Clear OBD-II Trouble Codes Yes
Axle Ratio Selection Yes*
MAF Meter Selection Yes
Tire Size Selection Yes
Fuel Injector Size Selection Yes
Idle RPM Yes
Cooling Fan On / Off Temperature Yes
Disable Traction Control Yes*
Two Step On / Off RPM Yes*
Automatic Shift Control
Pre-Programmed with up to 3 tune files by your local SCT Custom Tuning Dealer*
I have diablosport and am very satisfied with it... Don't expect huge gains from either though (besides on supercharged or diesel vechicles).. remember your basically doing with a tuner what you did with a turn of a screw and distributor cap on older stuff..

The guy at pdi performance put mine 1% leaner and advance timing all the way on both 2-4000 and 4 +. Not sure that its a huge difference but... thats just what he did. I've read that 4.6's are a couple of points rich factory..

You will get some people that say either one is good, and some will say get an SCT, but I've never seen anyone saying get a predator, so what do you think you should do?
