Some Powerloaders are locked. But if yours is not it would be a bad thing to do. You would be adding to and not overwriting. You need to reflash to stock. Why do it? The program is probably as good as the Predator would be.

Your car would need to be re-flashed to stock in order to be able to use the Predator. It cannot be used over an existing performance program.
