Default predator tune -- not too big of difference over stock tune

I just installed my predator tune and I can not really tell a difference. Is it just me, or does it not seem that the tune really makes a big difference in the acceleration. Let me know what you guys think who have installed the predator tune

Dang, =( mine is on the way in the mail- I was hoping I would see a little bit of change. (says it heps quite a bit)
So nothing at all? for $400.00 you should get "something" dang, that sucks.

Predators really not going to make much of a difference unless you have a good amount of other mods.

When I had my truck, pretty much the only difference I could feel was in the shifting... (it was an auto) and that alone made it worth the price... That's why I've been shying away from one having a 5-spd now... One of these days though, I hope to have enough mods (or just gears) to warrant one...

Well when i got mine i had full exhaust, intake, TB, and plenum. My o2 sensors were plugged in but not working for some reason and after the tune the seemed to work. So i believe i got better response and gas mileage.

Mine current Predator tune works great. We also run a Superchips tune in my wife's V6 automatic and it really woke her car up.

Yes I have an AUTO as well. (04 GT)
What should I make the shifts? Does it do it automatic?
or do I choose the shifts" ... if so what is the best?
I am new to this...

I use the xcal II. you can get a tune from whoever you buy the product from and they will give you a tune for the auto. it's worth it, really adjusts the auto well. mine shifts smooth and fast like a german car now.
