    Diablo Tuner

    Basically I need some cash, so Im selling my tuner. They go for around 400 brand new..Ill take 300 for it. Its basically brand new, I took it out of the box to tune, then put it right back in. I noticed a difference low end once I loaded the tune to my car. Its a great little tuner for people who are just starting out with their mustang. Heres some specs and pic.



    Are you ready to unleash the venomous soul of your Mustang's motor upon the unsuspecting general public? Then prepare yourself for the Diablosport Predator Tuner.

    The Predator for the 98-04 Mustang/03-04 Marauder is a state-of-the art, high performance tuning flash programmer in a sleek handheld design. Once connected to the vehicle, the Predator's internal computer recognizes the vehicles PCM and automatically picks the proper tuning files designed specifically for that PCM. Inside the Diablosport Predator's memory are the actual tuning files that optimize spark timing and air/fuel ratio curves. The transmission parameters are remapped to improve the shift characteristics such as shift firmness and shift points. Unlike other 'tuners', DiabloSport's programming is performed in very small increments throughout the entire RPM range, for a smoother, wider and a more predictable power delivery. DiabloSport engineers spend many hours on the dyno, street and track to ensure the tunes provided with the Predator are the best they can be.





    Dyno Tested Performance Tunes
    The Predator was created with one thing in mind, POWER! Average power gains are in the 15-20 RWHP range. The Predators 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.

    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.

    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.

    DiabloSport has generated all dyno tested tunes. DiabloSport Performance tunes require the use of Super Unleaded / Premium grade or 91 octane and higher fuel only, like carried by Amoco/BP, Sunoco or Mobil.


    Adjustable Parameters
    The Predator features end user adjustable parameters so the end user can customize his/her tune depending on other modifications done to the vehicle utilizing a dyno with proper air fuel monitoring and utilizing the Predators live data feature to monitor timing and other vital parameters.

    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
    • Rear Oxygen sensor disable (use for off-road vehicles only)
    • Disable EGR (use for off-road vehicles only)
    • All of these parameters can be adjusted on the DiabloSport tune and/or the factory tune


    Diablosport Predator Diagnostics and Live Data Logging
    The diagnostic feature allows the end user to scan and erase fault codes as well as monitor live data while driving. 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, regardless if the tool has locked itself to a specific vehicle or not.

    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)


    So unleash the terror within your pistons on those lowly peasants with the Predator Hand Held Tuner from DiabloSport.


    The Predator 98-04 Mustang/03-04 Marauder (part no. U7146) is applicable for the following vehicles:
    • V8:
      • 1998-2004 GT 4.6L 2valve
      • 2001 Bullitt 4.6L 2valve
      • 2003-2004 Mach 1 4.6L 4valve
      • 1998-2001 Cobra 4.6L 4valve
      • 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder
    • V6:
      • 1998-2003 3.8L

    Why do you have 2 threads? Didn't you just buy this?

    I know for the sct tuners you can't use it on another car once the previous car has been flashed and the stock tune is loaded onto the tuner. It will be locked and can't erase the tune. Is the tuner back to the way you got it? I'm not sure if diablo that way or not?

    I know as far as diablo's on diesels you load the stock tune back in the truck and that tuner is free to use on another truck. And I am pretty positive it is the same for cars. As long as you reload the stock tune back into your car. If not it is useless to others.

    Can you do a 2-step rev limiter like you can on the SCT?
