Predator U7165 release r14
 
Can anyone out there tell me if they have up dated there Predator to the latest r14 release, and if so what does it do over the r13 release.

Thanks in advance

I just updated mine f/ R10. Only difference I have noted is poorer fuel economy.

Keep in mind that the older releases used ALOT of injection timing; enough to cause cylinder head problems on alot of vehicles. The newest Predator releases are much safer to the hardware of the vehicle and run a similar injection timing level and base curve to what we run.

As far as safety and reliability, I would stick with the newest calibrations available.

I am not sure at what point in time (or calibration number) the timing schedules were changed, only that they were sometime in the past couple of months.

If it were me I wouldn't hesitate to update the calibration.

I called Diablo Sport today and asked them what R14 has vs R13, and the tech told me nothing functional has been changed, it is simply to recognize the newer flash versions from Ford that have come out since R13. Believe it or not....
