I'm assuming you mean the Diablo Predator. Not sure if they've changed like SCT's original Xcal and the new Xcal2...but so far as I know, they do not work.

I'm going to my local dyno shop tomorrow to get my new SCT Big Air MAF tuned, I'll ask the owner since he uses both Diablo and SCT.

In order to use a Predator, you must re-flash your chip to a stock GT tune. Once you do that, you can tune using the Predator although your Saleen flash will be gone forever.

Go with the SCT XCal as it will hold three tunes on the device and retain your factory Saleen tune incase you have the need to return the tune back to stock.

i've been told by a tuning friend that he prefers the sct for a few reasons, but mainly b/c diablo has a tendency to like to pop head gaskets (i dont know why, so dont ask me, just what he said). I've messed with both handhelds...tha tportion doesnt matter, but it seems from what everyone says, the sct program is superior

We use and sell the SCT product's. It works great on a Saleen ECU. Customer service is great from SCT and the product works.

No, it won't work. He said even if it did, he wouldn't recommend it. The Xcal2 is a much better programmer.

Aside from our MAFs, we have almost identical mods. I say find the cheapest SCT Xcal2 you can find and I'll see if my dyno shop can send you the tune I have for my car. Or, you'll have to mail your programmer to them and they can upload it.

My mods...
- Saleen Series IV
- SCT Xcal2
- JLT CAI
- Accufab 75mm TB
- SCT BA-2800 Big Air MAF
- FRPP 42 lb Injectors
- NGK TR6 Plugs (gapped 0.035")
- 03/04 Cobra Tank & Pumps
- Chicane Pulley
- FRPP 3.73 Gears
