That's a little to much money for 1 TUNE :crazy:

I need some feedback on "PREDATOR™ ENGINE PERFORMANCE FLASH TUNER"
anyone here used this tuner on 2005 G6?

 

[Boss]

The Diablo?

Yes ...Diablo Predator.

JC Whitney is listing on their website that Predator for Poniac G6 http://www.jcwhitney.com/DIABLOSPORT-PREDATOR-ENGINE-PERFORMANCE-FLASH-TUNERS/GP_2016530_N_10101+200732361_10101.jcw?showCustom=0&makeName=Pontiac&makeId=72&modelName=G6&modelId=17590&year=&showAll=1&refId=20004528&mediaCode=ZX&Nty=1&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntt=predator

but the manufacturer is saying only GTO http://www.diablosport.com/index.php?module=htmlpages&func=display&pid=63

I have a Diablo Predator............FOR MY WIFE'S MUSTANG!!
They dont have a tune for our cars.

I got mine from Chris. He is a G6 tuner and he is on here. Look him up.
His username is GTPrix. His tune woke my car up.

My MPG dropped a bit but the power diff was very noticeable. I recommend him.

To much money for one HARD tune ...I have (2) SCT programmes for my Ford cars and Paid $400 for tunner and "CUSTUM DYNO TUNE" specific for my bolton modification ...and on top of it I can go between 5 cars with of the shelf tunes that can be again custom tuned like tire size, fan speed, spark advance, transmission pressure, shift points ...you name it.

All of this for $400 and then this guy wants $300 for hard PCM tune where you have to send your PCM to him...no thank you.

Oh did I mentioned that I get printout with dyno saying what is my HP and the device can be used while driving to read engine prameters like fuel trim etc...

I MIGHT get in touch with chris and see if he is willing to sell the software package so I can tune it myself, SCT hase their own version called PRO RACER
but unfortunately nothing for G6.

 

[Boss]

the first link says it's for the 06 GXP, with a 5.3L...unless that's a concept car there is no such thing. I think that's the GTO.

I think the 5.3L is typing error and should be 3.5L, the store is only 40 miles away from me ..I'll run there one of this days and try it out, worst case scenario is once you plug it in it will say the car is not supported ...so I walk back in and return it on the spot

Will keep you posted.

I went to the wams sight and looked a tune up for my g6 gt but i dont know what the invisitune can any one help me thanks

What you mean with "invisitune"? he has performance tunes where you ship your PCM to him or buy one for $125 on top of the tune.

I can't tell you for wams, but from reading here and reviews on his website looks like he is doing good work.

I can teel you what I know, that performance aftermarket PCM tune is best thing out there to get best bang for buck. Being owner of two panthers (crown vic & MGM) and having police PCM in was great ...but after I purchased SCT programmer with custom performance 93 octane tune...this thing blows police tune away. Bottom line is you get better performance with longer transmission life bcuz of shift firmness and if you can watch your foot might save on gas too

 

[Boss]

Its a extra thing he does to make it appear like a stock ecu. The dealer will never be able to tell it is tuned by their equipment by using common sense yes but not by their equipment.

Do you have all screws tight in your head?? :bash:

That is STOCK ECU ...it is just reprogramed ...DUH

And don't worry dealer can tell if he looks that the ECU doesn't have factory tuning therefore you have your original to put it back in if
you need some service done under warranty period.

:bandit:

 

[Boss]

apparently you haven't been around for awhile because their is a actual bulletin by GM telling dealers how to see if the ecu mapping has been modified or not. Also he asked what the invisitune option was on his site, I was explaining it. You don't need to be rude when I am just trying to be helpful.

I've been around for to long, now i see that you were explaining Invisible tune ...I understand what you were saying. your original reply wasnt clear, so one can read it wrong ...I apologize.

 

[Boss]

sorry but what is a 'crank re-learn'...dont know anything about cars.
sorry

I guess what he is tring to say is:

To swap the ECM you need to disconnect the battery, once you hook the battery back on and start the engine you should drive the car for 10-15 minutes so it can learn main engine parameters. Resaon for disconecting the battery is to prevent any damage to the electronics in the ECM while unplugging old one and plugging new one back.

 

[Boss]

k cool makes sense. one other thing, where is the location of this tune (i.e where do i put this in the car).

ECM (Engine Control Mudule) or some call it PCM (Powertrainn Control Module) is located on G6 on front of battery towards front of the vehicle ...next to the windshield washer bottle.

You can't miss it, look at the picture @wams website and you'll recognize it under your hood

Tune is inside the ECM, you don't put the tune in ...you replace the ECM with one from wams that is programed for performance.

 

[Boss]

Whole purpose of the custom tune for most of us is "PERFORMANCE" ...so if you're looking for true performance where you can take maximun advantage of spark advance then go with the highest octane, in other hand most custum tuners can make you economy tune
where you could have great MPG ...wams might have something for economy too?!

 

[Boss]

anyone on here gotten a tune for a the I4 6spd? Kinda curious as to how much it affects the performance.

Any custom/ performance tune is better then factory tune
