Ebay Predator?

Hey guys,

I am a newbie to the S197 Mustang, but not to Mustangs (I have had 7 others - 5.0s and New Edge 4.6Ls).

I have spent a lot of time searching and reading posts about these cars both before buying, and since.

I want to start my modding madness with a tuner. I have used SCT tunes on my other vehicles with success, but am considering a Predator for this new one.

I found this company selling the basic Diablo Predator for $282.95, which is obviously pretty cheap:


My question is this: What are the downside(s) to buying one this way instead of from a dealer such as Brenspeed? I realize it will only come with a "canned" tune, but can't I obtain an updated tune later once I buy more parts?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Frank

bigcat,

Thank you very much for the response.

The auction advertises the units are new.

According to Diablosport's website, it seems like they come preloaded with some basic tunes for stock cars (like mine).

I just want to find out how and where to get an updated tune once I buy more mods.

bigcat,

Thanks again for your help!

After reading through their forums I have decided to just buy a new SCT tuner from a more reputable dealer. The peace of mind is worth the extra $$.
