It's not available yet. It's always another 2 to 4 weeks. Always. I don't know why Diablo can't commit to a release date.

Nope it's not out yet. They keep saying "a couple of weeks" but who knows? Last time they told me that was in March

I've begun to equate the Predator with Duke Nukem Forever. Any old school 1st person shooter lovers will understand

autologic software is completely tunable and has been forever,

the tuners can change nearly every parameter with the software,

autologic was designed by mike wesley who used to be an engineer for ford. when the 99 cobra's were down on hp, ford called upon wesley to do the computer reburn to bring the hp back up,

imo there is nothing better out there, as far as tuners using it, sal

Tweecer is available for the '99 and '00s, and supports the 01 and up with very few missing parameters (still under development) and no real time logging capability yet. It performs much the same function as the Predator (no chip needed), but has many more controllable functions (i.e., you can blow you truck up even faster 'cause you have maximum control).

Been used by many of the Mustang crowd for a long time now.

One of the major reasons I want a preditor is because I can flash the ECM so the dealer can't tell I put a "Chip" in. When I take it in, I can just flash it back to stock.

Does anyone know if the Predator allows as much adjustment/variability as having a chip burned? In the past, I have heard a lot of bad things about using burned chips because a chip is a "best guess" of how my engine will respond to particular mods and every engine reacts differently for a given set of mods, though that doesn't seem to be the consensus among Lightning owners. I emailed Diablo but I have not heard back from them.

Where can we find this and how much? I remember Sal mentioning this unit to a guy in the UK who wanted to bypass mail order chips and be able to change his own PCM programming. However, Sal mentioned "special circumstances" and "making an exception" so I dunno if it is out for the public?

I am very interested in this tool and I'm sick and tired of waiting for the Predator.
