I realize this is likely going to start a controversy but I feel I must post my truthful results from my Dyno runs. First run ever on a Dyno was with the Predator tune in.........
With Predator.......264hp
with Predator........270hp
Without Predator....287hp back to stock tune.
After seeing this I decided to stay awhile and spend the money to get my car tuned professionally.
I got at least 10 more Dyno pulls all averaged 280-290hp
The guy that tuned it was very good we went over some things and went for a streetability ride and I must say it feels so much better than the predator tune. One of the most significant things occured at the very end of the day, They use regular small house fans to cool the engine between runs and for the last Dyno pull they left the fan blowing on my intake........the results of that were 294hp...303tq.......
In conclusion the single most important thing I think we can do is get a very good functional intake to bring in colder air. My tuner did as much tweaking with the #'s as possible and the #1 difference in HP gains for the day was a small house fan blowing in air. The cost for a professional tune is roughly the same as the predator......and I must say I have a predator for sale now. Professional tuning is the only way to go. I got very personal service and all the changes I wanted, no speed limiter, Torque management is GONE, raised shift points, fan temps changed....etc.
I hope this will not be construed as sponsor bashing....I am only posting real results and Tiggerfan and Dmonty were there to witness it.
