Which one is more current.


Thanks.

 

I installed the Diable Predator about 45 days ago and received the latter described by Motorhaven, in fact bought them there. Don't know about that other company's description. I'm happy with the 60HP setup while towing 4,500 or not towing. 99PSDCREW

 

99PSD,

What did the letter from motorhaven have to say?

Also, GranatelliMotorSports is supposedly the company contracted with Diablo to market the tuners.

 

There's nothing new about the 7.3L Predator...

They are simply publishing the numbers from dyno results rather than the numbers Diablo publishes. Also, the 45 second time verses the 2 minute time is because they are listing the reprogramming time (ie, if you program it a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. time). MotorHaven lists the initial programming time which takes longer because it has to save a copy of your stock program.

A correction... Granatelli Motor Sports is not the company Diablo Sport contracted with. Rather, it is one of two companies. The first, PDQ Performance and a few years later Granatell.

 

Ken,

Thanks for clearing up some confusion. Interesting how some people inter. things differently. Thanks again.....Sledhead999

Question: What about the 0HP/0TQ gains with the addition of a extra chip. Is that the same as it always has been?

 

A chip has always been able to override a tune. That tune isn't there for that (don't know why GMS thinks it is). Its there so you can do tranny mods with stock power. Putting a chip in will override any power setting so there is no need for a tune specifically for a chip.

 

So you actually can run both at the same time?

If my buddy that runs an SCMT wanted to try my chip, we could just plug it in and run it without resetting the stock programming first?
