    I purchased a used predator from a local seller for $175. The only problem was he left a tune in the tuner. He had it set to factory hp thinking that would set it back to stock. Anyway, he put the original backup in the tuner, so know it works. I loaded the canned 87 performance tune. The car does feel quicker. Does anyone know how much of an increase of HP and TQ the 87 performance tune is compared to stock?

    Glad you got that straightened out:nice: I don't know specifics, but there was a night and day difference when I added the Brenspeed 87 octane tune! If I had to guess, I'd say and increase of around 15 for both HP/TQ:shrug: One of the huge differences besides the power is better driveability you get from the tuner:D

    Hey, you were right about the tq. Had the car dynoed today. Last time I did three pulls with an avg of 278 hp and 285 LBS of tq. Today I did three pulls with predator 87 performance tune with an avg of 285 hp and 300 lbs of tq. The temp may have negatively impacted today's pulls. Last time the temp was about 66 today it was 78. Overall, I am satisfied with the numbers. Now I know what people are talking about when they say it feels lighter.

    Those numbers are just from the 87 tune, Flows and UDPs in your sig? That's pretty good.

    I am using the 93octane tune with my sct brenspeed tune.

    I am SO close to going back to 87 tune.... A gallon of 93 is up 3.70 and 87 is like 3.39

    I know its a few dollar difference each fill - but that all adds up!

    Yes, just with those mods. The car had a good baseline. Before the tune two shops dyoned my car. I got around 280 hp and 285 LBS of tq.

    I know what you mean. Even if it is only about $4.00 per. fill up, for me that would be around $20 per. month.
