diablo predator ?

On the 60 hp setting it says 8,000 lbs weight limitations.
Is this gross vehicle and trailer weight, or just gross trailer weight

Post diablo predator ?

You stated that the weight limitations were 8000 lbs. If your really towing the weight limitations really limit what you can pull. I thought that the towing setup was for thoes that really pulled? Just a question. I pull a 12050 # trailer and thought that the setting would be a help. Am I wrong or did I missunderstand somthing. HELP.

The Predator's 40HP (all weight towing) pulls as hard as the Superchips 60HP. Its 60HP pulls about as much as the Superchips 80HP. That's why you see a difference in the tow ratings. If you're pulling 12K, put it in the 40HP mode or you can use higher modes if you have an EGT gauge and exhaust.
