What do you know about Predator Tuning? I know HP and EFI live seem to be the most popular. I ask because I have a chance to be a beta tester. Thanks.

I had a predator tuner for my 04 cobra and loved it. The shop I took the car to had the options to use the tuner software to tune the car and then upload the tune via the predator. You can also safe the tunes and stock tune to your pc. It will pull codes as well. I liked it !!

If you have a L99 they have no trans support that I'm aware of and there is very little power to be gained from the ECM on a L99 .

I had it in my '02 and it was okay. It was nice to be able to play with the functions it allowed me to, however, I should've just saved a little more money on LS1Edit or HP... It also ended up cooking my PCM... The $400 for the Predator and $650 I paid for a reman' PCM and another dyno' tune would've almost paid for a used laptop and tuning program.

I'm not sure how they are now, but I didn't get too good a service from them a few years ago.

Sorry to hear that,

I had it on my 07 Charger R/T and loved it

. The tech support was outstanding. I dont know how much gains you'll see on the LS3 but for the Hemi most people were getting +20hp with the 93 oct/CAI tune. If you don't do it I'm sure someone else will be all over this.
