Default Predators on e-bay?

Someone is selling predators on e-bay, claiming for 99-04 models it will adjust +-20% fuel and +15/-20% spark. I'm looking at one for my 2000 model but I didn't think they had this much adjustment can someone clarify if it will have this kind of range for my car or the more restrictive +-10% timing and +-5% fuel? Thanks in advance

I've been looking at these too, great price. I think the problem is getting custom tunes. I have read the 2002 model software doesn't have non-stock gear scaling so that would be a custom tune right off the bat....I'm still gathering info....

"NEW 99-04 CORVETTE LS1 LS6 C5 DIABLO SPORT PREDATOR "

when I called DiabloSport recently, I was told that there were 3 current versions for the C5.

*one was 99-02 only (but will do 2003 with some limitations)
*other was a 2003 only model
*third was a 2004 only model.

either the seller doesn't know what he is selling... or the tech at DiabloSport gave me bad info.

Now I am totally confused! I was just on the Mid America Motorworks' website looking at Predators and they only show two versions as being available. One version is listed as being for 99-03, while the second is listed as 04.

me too ! During my telephone conversation with DiabloSport, I kept asking for clarifications because it didn't sound right to me.

For some reason their email system is not working.
