Nice. I had a predator before all my mods now. Liked it a lot. I put the trans go jr in, exhaust, and intake when I bought the truck new. Set it on 85hp for a few weeks and then went to 120 for 30k miles. My truck liked both those setting. Have u ever tried those?

I never tried below 85 so couldn't tell u out of all programs but it got way better on the 120 setting then the 85. U just gotta keep your foot out of it. A lot more timing rattle on 120 setting. Wasn't to bad tho. Lol if I did it all over again I'd set it at 120. Like the snappy response.

arneson- How do you like your efi tuning? How much of an improvement was it over the predator as far as the shifting and milage?

I only ever ran 65 and 85 on the predator on my 05, had a diablo w/ this truck too, switched to EFI and was blown away by the difference, wouldnt dream of going back!

Not to knock anyone. But efi live is way smoother, no rattle. But I didn't switch to efi live for mileage. I built the trans put a lift pump on and wanted more power. Went to efi live and wow huge difference, but now again I'm wanting more and Now I'm puttin twins on, dual fuelers and eventually building motor. That being said I really don't have any tunes for mileage, which can be done by any of the tuners, but for what I have now and my driving style, my truck got way better on the predator setting 120 then I do now.
