Predator Problems
I ordered a Predator for my '04 from Mid-America, when I plugged in I found out it was for an '01-'03. Sent it back and they said they would double check to make sure I got the right one. Received the new one, plugged in and down loaded the performance tune but it wouldn't let me do anything else. I was about to send it back for a refund when I decided to call DiabloSport direct. Cole at DS told me that the one Mid-America sent me needed to be updated to new specs and to send it to DiabloSport and he would take care of it. I know I have seen posts about alot of Predators for sale out there, and I have to wonder how long Mid-America has had this one in stock. Eventually I'll get to play......big thanks to Cole at DS.

Yep...that's what I am wondering. I have one of the "older" versions of '04 Predators...they will update it for me, but I think I have to unload my tune before returning it. I need the tune to recalibrate my car due to the change in gears. I guess I could drive around in 3rd for a few weeks.

There is also a new firmware revision for the '04 version. The newest version will allow changing of the torque management settings where before it was either in with the factory tune or out with the performance tune.
