Predator Evaluations: Performance Data

[chrysler300c]

hey guys i need some opinions, what do you guys think of a stage 2 cai and a diablo predator programmer? is that a good combo? where can i get a good deal on both?where can i get them installed if i purchase?i want my hemi to gain a little more power but i dont want to break the bank account so i came up with this combo, thanks 300holics

how much horsepower will the diablo predator add to my stock 5.7 300c? will it hurt or improve gase mileage? will i have to pump 91 instead of 89 fuel?

[chrysler300c]

is there diffrent diablo predator programmers or is there only 1?

I hate to sound ignorant but I have to because I don't know......what is the Predator and how much does it cost?? Does it void the warranty?? Thanks,

It is a tool used for tuning your car to work correctly for the mods you have installed ( heads cam headers etc ), it also allows some rather indepth data logging as well.

As to the warranty, depends if the dealer dosent know, wont hurt them, BUT and this is the big one, if they flash your car while it is programed with the predator it will lock up your Predator as it is locked to a vin and Calibration ID. So you will always want to flash the car back to stock before taking it back to the dealer if you can, if your car wont run without the tune, then you need to make sure they dont flash it. They can useteh star scan to look at stuff, but not program.

Yes the Predator is the way to go. It seems much more improvement is had with the 5.7 hemi than the 6.1. You would be best to go with the 93 octane CAI tune from what I have read. Your car is not going to blow up or come anywhere close to blowing up with a canned tune. You would have to adjust alot more parameters than what the Predator does to blow up your engine.
