I was thinking about investing in this programmer but wanted to find out if any one has experinece with it first. It is a lot of money to me. Anybody got an opinion on it?

Hey whats up?
Well for what its worth. I wouldn't get it. I have one I put on my 06. All it did was make my car detionate on all the settings. Possible that I got a piece of crap.
I dont know how well the others do on a mustang either. Although I have had several hyper tec on my 5.7 & 6.0 GM motors. They worked ok for a generic tuner.
Have you thought about a custom tune?

Hey Rebel12 thanks for the reply.

I havethought about a custom tune but my issue unfortunately is cost. I have heard a custom tune cost on average $550 an hour with a minimum of 1 hour. With that cost I felt I could buy the Diablo and just play with it my self.

I have a sctx3 tuner and I have the same problem with detonation... But it's just the tune.

The best route to get a Predator is finding an unlocked (not married to another cars computer) used one on Ebay. The prices range from $175-$225 which is half retail. And detonation could be caused by loading a performance Tune and running 87 Octane among others, don't blame the tuner in most cases!
I've had success with mine PLUS you can datalog,import custom Diablosport Tunes , trouble code read, adjust fan and gear settings etc.. If you can get one under $200 grab it!
