Default Predator True results

Today we dynoed my gal. The reults of the Predator are in! Keep in mind it is an '02 with only 7100 miles on it. I will scan and post the actual sheets tomorrow.

Performance Tune:
353.4 HP
348.0 TQ
14.8 A/F

Stock Program:
347.2 HP
344.7 TQ
15.4 A/F

$400.00 plus dollars has gotten me and Fan temp controller and a diagnostic tool. :sad:

They may post more but don't be fooled.

I hope this does not get locked.

The stock tune from GM is actually pretty good. Not much room for improvement. How does an LS1 edit tune stack up?

Edit's are good for 10-20 depending on the car.

I would have been surprised to see a bigger gain. FWIW, your stock pull was a little low on HP and your after pull is about what a stock Z06 does.

What's with those A/F ratios?

You're comparing custom LS1 edits with a canned "performance" tune. Get a custom Diablo tune on the Predator, then make a fair comparison.

I know...that's what Nat asked. "How does an LS1 edit tune stack up?"

What's with those A/F ratios?
The performance tune is actually better for the Air to Fuel ratios as soo I was told.

The A/F ratios you listed above make no sense. Your car cannot possibly be running those ratios @ WOT or it would be much too lean.

In stock form the car was probably running somewhere in the 11.5-12.5 range around the TQ peak, slightly leaner before & after the TQ peak.
