My personal experience with Predator tuing vs. Westers tunin
Ok, first off. I am impressed with the Westers PCM. I asked Lyndon for the 92 octane tuning. Same as the Predator. There is a definate gain over the Predator. I ran it a total of 22 miles this evening and a lot of it was WOT runs. Like I said previously, I don’t have any tracks near me. All I have is little places where I can run some personal tests. So here is a run down on what I got so far out of the Westers vs Predator. This is on a straight stretch of road in a rural area. Its not perfectly flat, but it’s as close as I could get. These are my 0-60 times with another person in the truck running the stop watch over my shoulder.
Test- Predator- Westers
Run 1- 9.49- 8.97
Run 2- 9.49- 8.95
Run 3- 9.53- 8.94
I then went for a little drive varying the throttle from cruise to wide open. I then went back to the same spot I did my 0-60 runs before and ran them again.
Run 1 was 8.49
Run 2 was 8.43
Run 3 was 8.47
So just by driving it a little more it seemed to make better times. If you look now, those times are one full second faster than any of the best Predator runs.
I also ran a few mph test. Again, nothing as far as official track times. Just mph differences from point A to point B. Three different places to mix it up a little.
Test- Predator- Westers
Run 1- 64mph- 66mph
Run 2- 73mph- 76mph
Run 3- 83mph- 87mph
Again the Westers is better. So………..from a very satisified Predator user, I am impressed with the Westers so far. If it hold true that it will get better after some more miles. Then I cant wait to see what it has in store. Now keep in mind that this is a comparison with the Predator. Not over stock tuning!! Hope this all made sense. Any questions or comments, let them fly.

I had teh hypertech before the Predator. There is no comparison. Its not really in the same league as these two. Power from Idle on is awsome. The Hypertech is just WOT. I am shifting at 5800.

Two points I'd like to bring up...
1. If you guys with a full tune could keep up with the MPG after a fill up and "try" not to be going WOT with the new power I'd bet you will get some more power.
2. To anyone buying this new: This is a snippet from a FSC.com post "I plan on ordering my Wester's program sometime soon, I am lucky though in that my truck is a 2000 model, and the price is only $316 after the 20% FSC member discount....did ya'll know that one? Lyndon will give you a 20% discount if you mention you are a member."
If that is true, go register over there to get your discount it applicable.
