Predator question
This may be a nieve question but has anyone brought up the topic of having one of the geniuses here at FTE come up with a custom tune similar to one of Jody T`s but not similar enough to rip him off so that those of us with the predator programmer can experience some of these great tunes without having to sell our box to buy a DP?
I know there are custom tunes for our boxes but have no idea about the depth these can go to or even what differences chips offer as opposed to programmers other than click on the fly. Do they get way more into fueling and timing of injection?
I for one would pay for a nice custom tune that could be downloaded to my machine.

They have a website and can provide any custom tune you'd like.

Hink, how much would we have to scrape up for the SCT and a custom tune? I actually can read my codes I just havn`t had any. It`s very simple w/ the Predator.

Have you checked on Jody's website at dp-tuner.com? You might have to give him a call to find out prices on some custom stuff.

The deal is only good until the end of today, 2-15-06. I'm just learning all this stuff too, look pretty interesting though.

Man, you`ve got me thinking heavily about that tuner after reading that thread. I`m calling Larry today for some prices. Last day huh? Maybe that`s agood thing if it`s a group buy, we should get the lowest quote today right? Darn I wish I saw that sooner to do some more investigating.

I just checked DP Tuners site and they have added different pricing if you don't buy SCT tuner from them. They are $75 standard, $105 custom each. Bottom line, if you want DP Tuner to write your tunes for SCT, might as well get the tuner from them also. You won't save anything getting a cheaper price on tuner. As an alternative, Motorhaven will supply either "canned" SCT tunes or custom tunes at no additional charge. Other places may charge extra for custom tunes. Seems like a good deal to me. Maybe I'll just run my Predator and think about this for a while. Now I'm thinking about just getting a chip.

So What was your final answer? Stay with Diablo for now and add a chip. Maybe I`ll do the same instead of making a snap decision like I usually do. I guess with age comes some wisdom.We`ll see what haoens next week!
