Description

Dyno Tested Performance Tunes. The Predator was created with one thing in mind, POWER! Average power gains are in the 15-20 RWHP range on GT and V6 and more on the Cobra! The Predator's additional power makes itself noticeable immediately with an increase in power that starts in the low RPMs and builds into a frenzy at the high RPMs.

Boosts Horsepower And Torque. A Predator equipped vehicle will notice significant improvements in drivability. The additional power and improved shift patterns created by the Predator tune will yield quicker acceleration and better mileage, whether it is in town or out on the highway.

Better Throttle Response And MPG. The power increase in the lower RPMs will yield a better throttle response. The increase in MPG is a byproduct of maximized engine efficiency, the improved timing curve and air/fuel ratio creates a more complete combustion, i.e. the engine extracts more power from each molecule of gasoline.

Adjustable Parameters. The Predator features end user adjustable parameters so you can customize the tune and maximize the performance of custom modifications you've made to your Mustang. The Mustang/Marauder Predator allows the end user to adjust the following parameters:

Dual timing adjustment points (2000-4000 RPM / 4000-7000 RPM)
Timing table (+10% / -40%)
Dual fuel adjustment points (2000-4000 RPM / 4000-7000 RPM)
Fuel table (+40% / -15%)
Idle (+/- 20%)
On/Off switch for Traction Control
Raise Speed Limiter
Rev Limiter
Re-Calibrate Speedometer for Gear and Tire Size Changes
WOT Shift Pressure
Part throttle shift firmness
RPM Shift Points
Torque Modulation (for better shift feel)
Cooling Fan ON/OFF Temperatures
All of these parameters can be adjusted on the DiabloSport tune and/or the factory tune

Diagnostics. The diagnostic feature allows you to scan and erase fault codes. Predator can read and erase fault codes, and contains all the Ford specific P codes. Predator diagnostics will work on all 1996-2003 OBDII Ford Mustangs or F-Series Gas vehicles. The diagnostics features can be used on any Ford OBDII vehicle.

Live Data Logging. Data logging is available as well. Logging stores 30 minutes of data, with slow rate the logging allows for up to 90 minutes. The log can be viewed in Predator, or it can be uploaded to PC for viewing with the FREE DiabloSport DAT Viewer for Windows software (download here)

DiabloSport Tuner

Worth every penny!!! I installed the performance tune on my 98 GT (intake is the only mod). It was noticeable but I still wanted more. After much research, I maxed the timing in both RPM ranges and ... that really woke the car up. We have 93 octane here in IL so engine knock should not be a problem (have not heard anything yet). Throttle response and acceleration (especially from 35mph and up) are much improved. I got the same gas mileage as before but I have been stomping on the gas every chance I get.

Can't really tell a big difference in low RPM's, but can tell a better power increase in the higher RPM's around 4000. Better throttle response throughout. Happy with the tune that come on the tuner. Now ... its time to get a dyno tune

Diablo Sport Predator Tuner I have the Diablo Sport Predator Tuner for a 2003 ford focus svt. Can this tuner be used with the mustang with different tunes downloaded?

lucky31

Unfortunately this tuner will not work for this application. This model tuner is set up for specific vehicles and is not universal like some other models. Thanks

No. Diablosport predator tuners are set for specific makes and models and the downloadable tunes are only compatible with that make and model. Your predator is only compatible with 2003 ford focus svt's.

Does the chip remove/bypass the governor on the car? I've been told alot about this chip but no one can tell me if it will remove and or bypass the governor on my car so that i can hit over 110 mph?

wwb2262

This tuner will removed the speed governor by raising it well above what you'll ever need to hit. It's also something that you can control in the options when you flash the car. If you get a programmer from us that includes Bama Performance custom tunes, we also remove the speed governor by pushing it far out of the way. If you have any questions, feel free to call the Bama Performance tuning specialists directly. They're here in the building Monday-Friday from 9AM-5:30PM EST and Saturday 10AM-3PM EST. You can hit them up directly at 888.226.9764 and they'll get you squared away!

Cars are made slightly prior to the year they are actually distributed. Example I have a 2010 and my inside door panel says it was made in late 09. This tuner will work for your 98 mustang. If anything go onto the Diablosport website, plug in your year, make, and model and a Diablosport tuner will pop up with a serial number (ex. U7141) and just take that number and match it up with the one on here.

BIG DIFFERENCE!

My 2004 GT was untuned and even bogged down sometimes with all the air coming through the intake. Everything was aftermarket to the intake manifold. I put the 93 octane tune on and wow. Huge difference! The car doesn't bog down and is an absolute monster on acceleration!

Diablo Predator

Awesome product, I've never used a tuner before and i found this very easy to use. Worked great on my 00 V6 and I felt the power gains immediately, and i have only advanced the spark, I haven't put the performance tune in yet. The car even sounds a little deeper. If you are on the fence about this product give it a chance, you will not regret it.

Great mod

Really nice product, was able to feel the difference unlike many of the bolt ons. Helps me squeeze more power out of my supporting mods. I like how it allows you to eliminate your check engine light if you have an O/R mid pipe or check the codes for problems.

Predator Power

I installed this in my 2004 automatic equipped Mach 1 to get rid of the luxo-slushbox shifts and thought my 32 valve had plenty of power anyway, but I went ahead and loaded the Diablotune too, and WOW! Now I can do neck snapping, tire spinning, full throttle upshifts that set you back in the seat, and the seatbelts cinch up so you can barely breathe. Didnt get to see top end speed yet, as my rear window louvers broke at 142 mph so I had to slow down. Get this Tuner!!!

Good Even if Stock!

I got the predator and I must say it's really nice. Fuel economy has improved slightly, and the car really chirps the tires 1-2. 2002 GT Auto, all stock

Full bolt ons and finally did the tuner

I had full bolt ons minus gears, and finally changed my old diablosport delta chip for the predator with a 93 tune. The delta chip was set for 91, and the predator canned tune just blew it away. Car is noticeably more powerful in all areas of the rpm range. I had decided to wait because of the expense of a predator, but it really pulled the bolt ons together, without a dyno tune!

Big difference

So far I have only tried the 87 octane tune, but even that woke the car up. The gauges skip in between gear changes just to keep up. Faster 0-60 and more power about 60 and so on. I have an automatic V6, so its not too fast stock. I got this for Christmas, so as soon as I install the cold air intake and try the 93 octane tune I will write another review. If your considering it, get it. Great product!
