Predator caused weird "stall" this morning / Lost Tranny

So I get my predator last night and play around with it installing various tunes and testing it out. I finally end up just leaving it set on the 93 CAI tune b/c it was performing just amazingly. 1-2 shift is 100x better than it was with the flashpaq. I drove around for about 20 minutes with no problems whatsoever and quite please with the purchase. Then I wake up this morning, start her up and start off on my drive to work. I have to drive for about a mile through a residential area before I can hop on a road where the speed limit goes up to 50. So I make a left turn onto the road and punch it to the floor. It revs up like normal and I think shifts into 2nd when all off a sudden it just stops responding and I get an engine light. So my car is still running, its in drive, not moving, and when I push the gas it just revs like it is in neutral. I place the car into reverse, no response, put it back in drive, no response. Finally I put it in park, shut it off, and then start it back up. I put it in drive and it starts to move like normal and I continue my drive to work. When I get to work the check engine light is still on so turn off the car, plug in the predator to see what the code is, but when I do so it says there are no codes. I unplug the predator, start up my car and the engine light is off. W I E R D!!! Anyone else have a weird thing similar to this happen to them or no of a fix so it does not happen again? Thanks!

-Joe

Similar thing happened to me with B&G flash, could be bouncing off rev limiter.

Happened to me twice. Think it's what's called "limp mode" from what i've read. Some smarter people here could probably explain it better , or i'm sure you could search it.

I was under the impression the Predator did not work with the 05 yet.

Something similar happened to me when my car was new, it did it twice exactly as you described it and the second time my car was having problems running at stop lights and the dealer had to replace my engine computer control module, And since i have not had it happen again.
