okay guys , i'm trying to find out from all of your experiences where i'm gonna be at , with this set up.

my car is still stock , only mac CAI.
mods already ordered:
1- LT headers , o/r X pipe and weld in flowmaster 40 serier.
2- FRPP 3.73 , predator hand held with their performance tune.
3- Steeda U/D pullys, aluminum drive shaft.
4- VT stage I cams withought springs (not a must with stage I).
5- Accufab TB + Plenum.

all these parts are on the way

so how much HP should i be expecting if instal of all parts was successful ??


thank you. looking forward for all replies

That chunk of money plus installation, unless you install all the parts yourself, would go a long way towards getting a KB. If I had to do it again, I would have bought my KB first...and then probably exhaust, gears and other add-ons a bit later. good luck with your parts tho'.

yeah you have to get a differenttune because the perfomance tune that comes with the predator is for a near stock or stock mustang but for all those mods you have to get a mail order tune for all those mods since you can't get a dyno tune because if you where able to get one then you wouldn't need to get the mail order

to be honest i never really dealt with the mail order tune since i have a dyno tune shop here in L.A and the guy is real familiar with the predator but they should be good

so basically there is NO point of even ordering the predator hand held tuner.I mean i can just order a chip that will tune my car with all the mods. What will i need/use the predator for ??

The Predator can be used to do basic things like program in advanced ignition input, adjust speedo for gear calibration and different tire size ratios. It can also be used to turn off the rear o2 sensors and things of the such. I'm not too sure what the options are for the fuel pressure, but you can adjust that as well if I'm not mistaken.

Since you don't know what you're doing, it would be best to contact someone like SCT and let them build you a custom program on a chip. A dyno tune would be best, but since you can't get at a dyno, the chip is your best bet.

okay here is my last update. Since the Xcal 2 will perform the same adjustments as the predator (timing , ratio..etc..) i was thinking of ordering the Xcal2 instead , and ask them to instal a custom tune in my Xcal2 specially made for my mods. and then just keep an eye on my A/F ratio with a wideband O2.Now what do you all think about this step? good choice?

that would be a good choice because you could adjust the A/F ratio with the hand held tuner either richen it up or lean it out

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
