I don't know what all anyone in here can tell me about the predator. I just want some good info (better than what I got on LS1tech). Can I run 87 octane, and in what way is installing a program going to affect my gas mileage? I am looking at getting one because I am not really going to do so much stuff to my truck that I need a tune so I think the Predator is probably a better alternative to a HPP3. Any thoughts?

I use edit to tune so I guess you know my thoughts on it. It's the only hand-held I sell becuase it's the only one that is tunable and has the diags built in.
If you're not going to do a lot of mods and just want a nice running truck, then a tune from me would be best, lol, seriously, if you're not needing to change things all the time , then a mail order tune is perfect.
The hand helds will always limit the amount of changes you can do.
Plus with a nice tune, you'll probably gain some mpg in addition to more hp and tq.

in order to run 87 in the truck i think you'll have to get a custom tune made. my mileage picked up with my predator. i do run 93 at every fill up and have since thought my truck runs better. ok, yea i have a tune to help with that but i think the gas has a lending hand as well. basically it is a trade off. sounds funny but more expensive gas gets me farther down the road. however you save a few coins by buying 87 and not go as far. this is my experience.

Don't forget you can't remove that Predator from your PCM after installation either. I heard they maybe able to in the near future but don't hold your breath.
Also...Allen is cheaper and better than the Predator now too. At first I was apprehensive of gettin a tune but am soooooooo glad I did. I ran a HPP3 on my old 99 Z71 and it barely did anything power wise. A real tune is far better than a handheld.
The only upside is the Diagonistic capacity of the Predator now.
