That's the good ole predator. One of the 2 best tuners out there. I had one, and loved it.

I would highly suggest just spending the extra 70 bucks and just buying a NEW tuner! There have been countless guys that have bought used tuners that were "supposably" unlocked and then come to find out that they were lied to! With a new tuner you have the safety of knowing its in good working order and good to go!

Gears and tuner when time allows. If you have to buy sererately, it'll be handy to have the tuner first.

i wouldnt get a tuner unless your doing a custom tune because the tunes on the tuner are basic tunes and wont get you as much as a custom, and a custom tune is gonna run you $110ish unless you buy the tuner from them. im buying my sct tuner for $400 and thats custom tunes included. thats the xcal3. id look at doing thegears, then id do the tuner.

I second just buying a new one. I know a few people who bought used "Unlocked" tuners and when they got them, they were locked. I believe it costs just around 150 to have it unlocked....So they ended up not saving anything.

dont set your mind on a predator

if you plan on getting a dyno tune find out what the local dyno uses and get that if you have a predator and they use sct you are out of luck and will not be able to get dynod or have to by an sct

for you auto dont do a shift kit, waste of time and money. Do a j mod valve body conversion or swap. you will love it.you can buy a j mod converted valve body for a 100.00 and when you swap them out send yours back in for a core refund of 40.00. very easy to install.let me know if you have any qustions on it.
