DiabloSport strongly advises against it. From the Predator manual, "User must ensure that the factory "stock" tune is in the vehicle's PCM before installing the DiabloSport tune...Serious engine damage can occur if the Predator tune is installed over a non-factory/aftermarket performance tune." :cheers:

So the predator adjusts off the stock parameters and does not " create " it's own ?

It updates specific areas of the pcm and not the whole code. Do not use the Predator on a vehicle with another non factory tuned flash.

Sincerely...
