    im not really trying to get power out of my tuner. im trying more to just correct the speedometer and shift points from my gears. the added power is nice from the tuner but im not looking to do too much after the tuner i dont think

    The predator will work but you are wasting your money if you don't buy an SCT unit. I know you are more concerned with the shift points/speedo but you would have much better resale value. Obviously I am partial to SCT which is why I am a certified dealer/tuner, but they really are the best software for Ford vehicles. Why not buy a new unit with a custom tune to go along with it? We sell them all the time for $379, you would really benefit from this IMO. If you buy a used unit and come to us for a file, it would cost you $150....the new unit is really the better deal!

    Good luck either way, let me know if you have any questions

    yeah. The reason is that 400 is twice as much as I can realistically spend. I only have the 200 to spend on the tuner. It's actually more than I can spend to begin with LOL
