Ordering Programmer
I know theres a bunch of topics on this fellas but I have an automatic. 
Been looking in a few catalogs on diffrent programmers but there descriptions on the things I need it to do are pretty short. Im looking for a programmer that can change my shift points in as low as 1/4 throttle since the factory set the shift points at part throttle way to low. Come on, half way when I turn at a intersection im already in second gear... LAME! All the programmers seem to be pretty much the same but not all of them get into detail on shift points. Oh yeah, also want to be able to adjust the quickness of the shift also. ( Shifts way to slow to be able to control it manually with the console) And also these options are nice to have - Speedo calibration, Timing adjustment, Rev limiter, Trouble code scan, and all that other good stuff. Getting ready to put my 4.10's in the car and need to get off my butt and order one of these so I can start calling around and get a stall made for my car.
Thanks!

RE: Ordering Programmer
Sigh... Answered my own questions and now I have a new one!
The Mustang/Marauder Predator allows the end user to adjust the following parameters:
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) <--- Can you say AWESOME!
All of these parameters can be adjusted on the DiabloSport tune and/or the factory tune
In the list of thingies here it says "Throttle Shift Firmness" then a few line down it says "Torque Modulation" What the heck is torque modulation?

RE: Ordering Programmer
Torque modulation is the shift pressure. If you set it to 0 the shifts will be really firm (tire chirpping firm) I have a 01 auto and the predator was a great purchase!!! I am very happy with the changes i made to my shift points and pressure, you will really like the way it drives after you adjust them!!!!

RE: Ordering Programmer
i bought the hypertech power programer 3 last week ( on sale at summitracing.com $349) hypertech has been around alot longer than the other brands and is more widely used. just watch power block on spike tv to see. anyways i'm more than satisfied with the results. made a big difference in the way the car performs.
