^^ I agree with Raul. Might also look at a 4" turbo back exhaust.

What kind of intake is it? If its a K&N, lose it!

sorry guys..failed to mention i do have a 4" downpipe with 5" exhaust ..the intake i made myself..basically i disassembled the stock box area and opened the entire area around the battery on both sides..sealed off engine heat from intake and i used 4" pvc with a cone filter..80 hp setting hits 28 psi boost..100 hp..will hit 32 psi.if i mat it for more than 2 or 3 seconds..

Didnt someone on here have an "interesting" experience with a predator programmer?

what filter did you use?

also those Pred. HP numbers are not accurate... yoru stock injectors are only really good for an extra 80+/- Hp... its all in the tuning which for an out of the box tuner is not really good because they have to keep many people happy... with a custom tuned chip it will get tuned to your specific truck and will perform a lot better.....

ask anyone on this forum that has switched from a regular generic tuner to a custom tuned chip and they will tell you its a night and day diff....

I picked up one of the cone filters from autozone..not sure..i think its spectre or something like that..it is a reusable and your suppose to oil it,,however , i wash it everytime i change oil and sometimes in between changes..as for oil.i barely even mist it..seems to me that the oil would help trap dirt and not flow as good as a paper element..are there any advantages to those big paper elements from napa,,i think, in the diy intake section?

blizzard as far as the predator issues go..that may have been me that your thinking of..a week or so ago i was asking questions about mine..i just bought it about a month ago ,NEW,from an online company
and it is already so old the memory cannot even handle the newer upgrades..i think its 128..and the new ones have 512,,guy at diablo sport said it must have been collecting dust somewhere.
