Go look at my dyno sheet on my gallery. I think the Predator added 114 HP and 200+ ft pounds torque before the hose split acting like a waste gate. Note the 1000 RPM high HP range. I will have it checked again in a few days with the new hose to see how much more it makes. Most agree it should make 30 to 70 more HP. Compare the narrow powerband of the banks.
The predator also protects the transmission with higher line pressures(firmer shifts) and defeats the factory speed limiter.
Depending on the mode you can pick up mileage or towing power. It is very flexable and fun without trashing your engine or transmission. We have never heard of a failure related to the Predator. There have been plenty of reports of overfueling with Edge and other "Chips"

Why don't you call Diablo and ask their technical people. They seem to be nice folks. In fact I am very surprised how very good the Predator product is considering they beat everyone to market by 6 months.

I am running the 65HP program on my F250 SD 6.0L PSD. I notice I get a belch of black smoke at the start of rapid acceleration, but not WOT. I mean I am not really pushing it.
Anybody else notice this? Is it normal? I would expect it at WOT or with the 100HP prorgram.
