Default Predator Version 1.04

Any news on the new version release date? What changes will be incorporated into the new version? Will we have to send the unit in or can it be accomplished via download? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

NOW I see this about a update due out. I just ordered today. What is with 1.04? What are they adding/fixing? Maybe I should have waited!!

They are working on version 1.04 now but it probably won't be out for awhile. Diablo hasn't firmed up the changes for this version, they have a few ways that they can go with it.

There aren't any at this time, but there will be many more end-user options, and most likely some updates to the Diagnostics. A few things that I do expect to make into the new revision is the ability to alter the downshift parameters on the transmission, as well as possibly adjusting the MAF table via the options, plus improvements in other areas. The diagnostics *may* get datalogging this go around, but I can't promise that either, although that is coming. The new Ford Gas programmers already have this feature and will log as fast as the data port will allow, and will log for up to and over an hour. It will also allow the user to play it back on the screen, or log it over to their laptop live or record as well.

Sincerely...

I would think the loggin would be a top item, as it would allow the unit to compete with autotap and the like.

It would be, to my knowledge. The only unit that would allow you to log, and adjust.

Brian, you're right, it is (for Fords now), and will be (for GM's) the only handheld tuning/datalogging device on the market! I feel this is a top priority as well, and I know DiabloSport definitely wants to get this out to the market soon. Unfortunately there isn't any timeframe on this feature, yet. I'll post more when I know more, definitely.

Sincerely...

When 1.04 is available, will the unit have to be shipped back or is there a way to program via the internet?

How can I send you back my Predator? Do I need a authorization number from you or reset my C5 to stock programming?

As new revision updates are released, you would need to contact DiabloSport at 561-908-0040, as they will issue you an RMA #. Currently v1.03 is the latest revision for 99-03 Vettes and 99-02 Camaros/Firebirds and Gas Trucks.

Kind Regards...

As far as I know what is being worked on to be added is:

- Stock Tune Setting (so you can make changes to just the stock tune only without having to install the included DiabloSport Performance Tuning)
- MAF Table Adjustment (to be able to adjust for LTFT's)
- Downshift MPH Parameters (max mph to downshift in next lowest gear at WOT)
- Axle Ratio Settings Fix for gear changes (currently requres a FREE custom tune to adjust for a gear change)
- Datalogging (if it can be added in time, otherwise it'll be in a future revision)

I'll post more information as I receive it. Have a great Halloween!

Sincerely...

Email me, bud! Put, "Custom Tune Needed" in the subject line. I will send you some custom tune instructions and get you to upload me a file from your Predator (the instructions will explain all of this to you), and then I'll modify it and shoot it back to you. We'll get your car shifting perfectly, as well as make any other adjustments that we need to do to the tune at that time.

Very Sincerely...
