My buddy has already ran 13.50, and he didn't have a stall converter, and he wasn't tuned optimally...I know another guy who ran 12.99, with massive weight reduction, and a great tune...He didn't even have alot of mods...I'm talking about Hemi Ram Quad Cab trucks too (5500lbs), not Regular Cab
I got my big valve heads today, and my Edge converter yesterday...Gonna be installing them this weekend...Also changing my exhaust too...Taking the truck out to the Mopar Shootout in two and a half weeks to run it at California Speedway, haven't been to the track in over a year...Last time I went, I ran 9.035 in the 1/8th, but i've made alot of changes since then
After we get the heads and converter installed, we'll be putting it on the dyno to tune it...Can't wait to hit the track, this will be the first time at the 1/4 mile

Why do you gotta be like that?

(just kidding)
Hearing that makes me hopeful and pissed at the same time. $8000.00 worth of mods and I'm not in the 14's yet.. grrrr
Makes me wonder if I got what I paid for.

You have some good mods, have you tuned your air/fuel ratio? You can have killer mods, but if you don't tune, it's a waste
It's all in the tuning...

What can I say, there is nothing new to report currently.

I've been told a few people have the tuner, and are beta testing...

Who said July 1st?
That did not come from us.
I have repeatedly asked that you guys not buy into any dates given by our dealers, as they are not developing the product.
Thank You.

Mike, all we ever wanted was a target date...I don't understand why that is too much to ask?
Why was Superchips able to get their Flashpaq out in a timely fashion, but you guys couldn't?

Ummm, because he can't? Have you guys every worked for a business? Maybe you could ask something that he can answer (doubtful since it would probably be company confidential information). Something like this..
Is it above the marketing cut line?
This would mean that marketing has determined that the project would be worth doing for the company. Sounds like it still is. Marketing lists usually get re-evaluated and re-ordered on a periodic basis.
Has it been execution committed?
This would mean that someone has approved the allocation of resources to do the project. Often times you have dates at this point but in a lot of smaller companies it just means that it's in the execution cue, approved, and planned to be executed and when the projects ahead of it get to some stages in their development cycles the resources will be rolled off of them and onto this one. This makes it a pretty sure reality but things get bumped up and down, schedules change, etc.
Is anyone actively working on it?
People usually don't work on one thing 100% from start to finish. At least not in the earlier stages. You always have down time and have to multiplex your projects. It could be one or more people's lower priority responsibilities to make progress on if and when they have time. (I doubt Mike would comment on this. Would you?).
In general, until a project has reached a particular stage, you'd be nuts to speculate on a date to end customers. You're only going to do damage. Best response is almost invariably "It's planned, no dates yet." or "sorry, it's possible but not currently in plan".

Because the SC does not do 10% of what the Predator will be capable of.
Making tunes for power is the easy part...giving you lots of control over your tune is not....thats what we are doing.
