I GUARANTEE you will change your mind about it having "plenty of power" after you get the Predator....

Having to go back to stock is like turning off 5 cylinders !!!!

Has anyone measured the 04/04 engine DP? Is it a 3.5 inch. Cannot imagine that it is 4 inch. Everything that I have been reading, indicates that 4 inch may be to free flowing for the variable vain turbo. I suppose it has something to do with velocity past the turbo, but I am not sure. Certainly, ANYTHING on the 03 will be an improvement, in so far as DP.

The thing is, without gauges, you'll never really know how hot it gets or if it even does, if you tow, gauges are important tools to have.

In 65HP mode it will smoke faintly if you lug it and then floor it...
but in 100 hp mode it is giving it enough fuel to smoke , even with a turbo back exhaust system...

Isn't smoke just unburned excess fuel ???
maybe the reason mine does smoke some and yours doesn't Bob is...
I don't have an intake but do have exhaust,
and you have the intake...
which gets enough air to burn up the fuel....

DARN.. that means I'm wasting fuel but more importantly leaving MORE POWER on the table
