Default Help w/Predator

I'd like to pick up a used Predator. Got a '05 VR Roadster. Trouble is I've read so many things about the predator, I guess I've gotten myself screwed up.

Basically, if I buy a used unit, can I use it on my car without sending it to the factory? Or, is there something else I'd need to do before I use it?

Thanks to all who answer in advance.

If the original owner puts the stock tune back into his car, then the Predator will be able to be used on another car without anything else being done to it - no sending it to the factory or anything else.

So....you just have to make sure that the original owner definitely has put his car back to the stock tune before you buy it.

BTW, you need the U7191 for the 2005 LS2.

You say you have a 2005, so this post would apply to you :

And you definitely require the U7191 for a 2005
