Thats what I was trying to do brother...I was ready to drop the whole $401.00. I made it pretty clear last night when Ken was posting that I needed the unit shipped overnight today due to my circumstances. I am in the process of moving and needed the unit before I left. All I wanted was an answer to which unit to get (predator or superchip)...didn't care about the numbers. They could have also posted last night that they were backorderd...that would have helped too. Two posts from webmaster told me to wait for the results to be posted today...because he didn't want to say which was better at that time...even though he elluded to the fact that we would be "surprised". It is now 1530hrs...and nothing...even if they had them in stock it would have been too late.

Everyone please be patient in this thread.
Might I share a gentle reminder that all information shared in this thread is more than there would be without the thread.
All too often, sharing a little information results in a hoard of new questions, followed by impatience rather than understanding that this is information that does not NEED to be shared at that moment and that all necessary information will be available soon. Ken said he will soon be posting data. Please be patient and wait for it.
I'm sure Ken is compiling information and formatting data so it can be viewed easily and so everyone can come to their own conclusions. As with the information I've been sharing, Ken (and others) are doing this in their own time, and we should appreciate their unbiased approach to testing.
When he does make the information available, please thank him for spending the time on it!
This has been productive so far and I'd like it to continue.

Jovis - Call Motorhaven first ! 
A little information is usually bad info ---- is that what we're saying ???
J/K !!!
I'd be careful comparing apples and oranges !!!!
I venture to say if you had talked to Motorhaven,
they would have given you a good price...
after all - did you pay the advertised price for your truck ?
An even better question is :
do YOU work 24 hours seven days a week ???
Many times I think Ken does
If the Motorhaven staff DID take off - it was WELL deserved !
or maybe they were VERY busy and COULDN'T get back to you ????

I also tried to contact Motorhaven all day today to inquire about my 1704 order with no results. I also found the unit $40 cheaper than the price Motorhaven quoted me over the phone (and yes, that company did answer the phone). I don't mind paying a premium price for good service. Maybe Motorhaven has too much business to handle in a timely fashion.

Call MotorHaven and deal with them privately.
GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY to correct the problem...if a problem exists!

Just to support Ken and Vic. I currently have the Predator purchased from Motorhaven and anxiously await Ken's results. I could end up trying to sell the Predator if the SC tops out. I am still (after posting questions) waiting for someone to post EGTs for the Predator in the 65 HP mode loaded and unloaded. I know eventually someone will put up the numbers. I recieved a lot of support when I initially purchased the Predator and expect that I will receive the same in the future.
