Predator Puck combo, just what exactly is each doing?

Post by ranger_dog »

It is my understanding that the Puck is a pressure box that increases the rail pressure of the fuel delivery, correct? Does it do anything else? The Predator alone can increase the rail pressure, correct? It also adjusts the timing too I think, correct? Does it do anything else (not talking about the special feature, like tire size adjust, idle up, etc.) Then I am also correct in thinking that when using the Predator with the Puck and installing a stacked tune, the difference in those tunes are they remove the increase in the fuel pressure since the puck is doing that? So in essence, running the stacked tunes in the Predator and the Puck together is really only a benefit because you can adjust the pressure of the fuel delivery from stock, 60, and 90 HP settings on the fly (or without needing to download a new tune) and essentially it also makes each tune into 3 tunes with that switch. Do I understand the functioning correctly on these units? Last question, which switch position will give you the closest match when comparing running stacked tunes with a puck with unstacked tunes and the predator alone?

You hit the nail onthe head.

Cant really answer the switch position question, as I have not monitored all of the pressures in all of the different combos.

Someday :) Holding out on one for a little while and holding up on the heavy foot to keep the stock one in good shape. I am still waiting for someone to offer a foolproof conversion to the 68RFE so I can take advantage of the 6 speed. Once they have one, and Goerend Brothers starts to improve them, I am getting one.

The thing about upgrading the tranny is being able to use the full potential of these types of modifications and have the capability of expanding to even more horsepower as it is very addictive. I used to say "yeah I'll be easy on the tranny and just run the low tunes"....NOT... I finally broke the tranny....LOL
