0$, that's what they are worth. Two of my friends have them, they are really just glorified Hypertech's. They are OK, but there are much better options out there. A custom tune is the only way to go for a real gain. If you're interested in that, let me know. I had a tune by a major guy and was completely unhappy with it. I just got it re-done by a board sponsor....holy crap. What a difference...I still can't believe how freaking fast my car feels.

Mine is worth every penny. Works great and Bubba of runningwiththedevil.com touched up my tune for even better performance. Also deleting the rear O2s and COTS from the program.

You have mail. Call him up and explain the problem and have him get you a RMA #. James said to keep this info to yourself.

I didn't know the predator could do all that. They don't advertise. I don't really care about tuning, I just want to delete stuff. I'll leave tuning to a prof. But how many of these things just stop working? Also, does hypertech III delete rear O2s, and COTS, and scan too?

From what I have read the Hypertech is nothing compaired to the predator as far as what it can do....

It's awsome for a car car with only bolt-ons, it worked great with my stock heads and cam.

Once I installed the TR 224, it was hard to get the idle down.

Over all for the price you can't beat it!!!
