I had one and two of my buddies run one, I loved mine for the $$ spent on it and everyt thing it was great. Wat jerked alot of folks off with predator was when they relaesed a update they made all the gm guys pay for it when the ford and dodge updates can be done for Free!!!!!

i don't mean to hijack the thread but go with the ppe programmers,allthough i have never heard any bad about the diablo programmers...just a thought

well thats what i was looking at was the money. im looking for fuel mileage and a little more power not much

i gained roughly 4 mpg on both of my trucks runnin a 90hp tune with my ppe tuners..on my dually i run a 350hp(above stock)tune all the time but i have some work done to the drive line..

PPE tuners are the best off the shelf performace tuners IMO but for milage and bang for the buck factors i recomend the predator.

THis is all from my experience with both tuners, i know different folks and trucks may like different tuners for better resaults, these are just mine!!!

I haven't had any problems with mine. I like it better than the power pup....definately less timing rattle with the predator. I haven't heard anything bad about the predator though.

how do you like your tst programmer and do you think it would stack with the ppe?sorry to hijack the thread..

TST makes pretty good power, but I don't know if they came out with one for the LLY or LBZ. It stacks ok with the predator, but I haven't really turned it up either. I did have it on one of the higher levels before and I did get some bursting. I can't complain about it, it came on my truck when I bought it.
