Car's running about 8 tenths slower in the quarter than it was before installing gears and delete plates.

I noticed the car's shift pattern seems weird, and it's hanging up on the 3-4 shift and feels flat, or not as powerful, from there.

Once the car went into failsafe, and then 'reduced power' mode. I cleared the codes and haven seen any since ( about 2,000 miles or so ago ), do you think the engine is still operating in that mode?

dunno. you have a predator, right? i am not familiar with them, so i cant offer advice there. if it went into failsafe mode, i think you would know it, as you cant exceed a certain speed, and it runs rough.

i would look at your tune settings and see if anything looks funny.

I'd call up your tuner asap and describe to him your symptoms/issues. These cars are pretty picky, so sometimes a "canned" tune needs to be re-modified.

The car's been tuned for the gears, delete plates and CAI, plus the shift pattern was changed.

Anyhow, I've contacted them and am awaiting a response. Hopefully it all gets worked out.
