DiabloPredator/Hypertech/Superchips
Ok a quick response needed if possible, I have the chance to buy a Diablo Predator BNIB at a very good price but needs to be tonight,
Does anyone think that one of the others are a better option.
all cost about the same but everyone has there own preferences, I tow occasionally a 5000lb travel trailer but would like the driveability improved if possible for day to day.
Any views would be helpful.

The best thing about it is that they are constantly coming out with upgrades/updates and with the Predator, you can download them and transfer them from your pc to the Predator. Most others must be sent back to be updated. I installed a Predator in my F150 a couple of weeks ago and the throttle response and power increase is quite noticable.

The Predator allows you to easily change most of the parameters an end-user would be interested in to best fit your truck and driving styles. For example: You’re on a road trip, it’s late at night and the only gas station open does not have 93 octane. With the predator you can plug it in, back off the timing a little, and drive away. Or say your winter tires are a different diameter than your summer tires. With the Predator you can easily adjust to correct the speedometer and move the shift point up or down to compensate.
From a diagnostic point of view you can read codes and monitor hundreds of data points live. You have to ability to view the data on the screen, or save it in the predator while you take a test drive and view it when you get back to the shop.
While the new SCT tuner comes close on functionality, no one else bundles the wide range of features into a single unit.

Thanks for the replies I knew if I came to the fountain of knowledge I would get my rewards.......those were just the type of answers I was looking for.
I know that the truck will never be a racing car but when did you ever see a corvette off road hauling a 7000lb load? or a souped up rice burner with 3 kids 4 dogs and wife comfortably seated.
My Ex does very nicely as it is but I would like to make the job easier for the engine/transmission when I do tow.
Thanks again UKSD
