LS1 edit or Predator

I have a 97 A4 and am in the process of installing a SY3500 TC, Transgo shift kit, 3.73's and stingers. What is a better bang for my buck? Getting an LS1 edit or a Predator programmer?

Right now LS1Edit has a $100 off promotion if you fill out a survey and fax/mail it in with your oder form. That makes it $450..

No doubt about it in my opinion... LS1Edit.

You can't get a Predator for your car as it is a '97.

LS1 Edit. Check any speed shops by you b/c some of them offer gp on licenses for LS1 Edit and they can do the tuning.

Re: LS1 edit or Predator (JSTAN)

To me the difference between the Predator and LS1 Edit is like the difference between canned pasta sauce and good homemade pasta sauce. One is quick and easy and the other is a bit more work but the final result is worth it.

For you the decision is easy because, as was mentioned above, Diablo Sport does not make a Predator for a 97-98 C5. I guess they feel the people who own a 97-98 just are not interested :rolleyes:

You might want to look at HPtuner.

If you're in no hurry, yeah, hptuner might be okay. I would wait 6-9 months after they are shipping though before I bought in on it. there's bound to be issues, but let's see how they handle them.
