I like the Predator. Mine was easy to install, and easy to use after the fact.
And seat of the pants difference is unmistakeable. :steering: :cool:

as for self contained hand-held programmers; I believe the Predator and Hypertech are the only two available right now.

Hmmm...lets see... ~$400 for a predator or ~$8,000 for LS1Edit?? Sorry guys, but I just don't see it practical to *purchase* LS1Edit....you could get a beast of a motor for that and let someone else worry about tuning it....

you're about $7450 away from the correct ls1edit price.
