throttle booster is only for dodge/chrysler vehicles... so give them better throttle response...

GM's didn't have their issue...

do some data logging, get your fueling adjusted, and you'll get even better throttle response than you do with the canned tune settings...

Thanks MonteSS. Throttle response on my 2010 Chevy 6.2L truck is really about the ONLY complaint I have with it. I've been looking at other aftermarket interface systems that claim to tighten up the response. If Dodge/Chrysler have a slower response then mine it's know wounder their so slow off the line. Just kidding. I really hoped it would be addressed for the GM's as well.

like I say... if you do some data logging to find out where your average fuel trims are at, and then adjust your injector slope accordingly, it will improve your throttle response...

Hi all. As an update thought I would let you know that I have invested in cables / power supply, done some logging and had to adjust the injector slope by -12!!

End result - after logging to confirm it was in line in the 0 to -2 range - just saw my gas mileage jump up by a lttle over 2mpg, have significantly improved throttle response, and overall I am a enjoying driving the truck more than ever before.

So to all, I support the product as well as the solid guidance provided by Monte. Still believe the advertising should be more straight forward as to what it really takes to get the results, but overall what a great change. I will log it again after a few months just to check that all is still optimal.

Best to all.

I have just installed the MPG update in my 07 GMC 4x4 5.3l engine. The around town mileage still sucks (avg 13-14) in my truck which it did before Predator, so that didn't change for me. On the highway is a whole different story. On non-stop highway my mileage did jump 3 mpg. I avg 23-24 mpg at steady 55mph. Still have better power than before tuner. Even in v8 mode the mileage jumped 2mpg. It now hits 19 -21 in just v8. Was 17-18. Only other inprovement over stock I have is a DUB cold air intake, which came before tuner also. That made a big difference when it was installed, and tuner did the rest. Will prob look into exhaust in the near future.

Hello, I was wondering if the 9r23.CROM has the MPG tunes that the 9t23_210.crom? trying to figure out which to download.
Thank you for your time and response.

MPG booster

Post by VenturaI »

What improvement will I see over my Rev. 9r05a currently being used on my stock 07 5.3 Avalanche (87 tune). I thought 9r05a was the MPG improvement for trucks?

Thanks

well... tunes have been redone since then...

BUT, you're only on 9r05, so you may have an older version 7194 that can not use the newer, bigger crom revision updates....

when did you buy your predator/how old is it??? what revision was on it originally when you first bought it new??

About 2 years ago, box has U7194 07-09 GM Truck (new body) and 06-09 Corvette on it, 9r05a was on it. Small sticker has the #217557, is that the S/N? How do I know if it has enough memory?

you might be ok...

try to update to revision 9r19 first... you can get revision 9r19 from here:

http://diablosport.com/index.php?name=P ... 260#171260


make sure you restore your original backup to the truck first before updating...

If 9r19 works than 9t23a will work? Need to get the PC interface kit, will I see much improvement (as in MPG) will this new MPG booster tune?

Thanks

yes.. if 9r19 loads, then the 23 will...

keep in mind, that the mpg booster tune is not a performance tune like the other diablo tunes are... it's mainly for getting better mileage, not more performance...

should get a few more mpg's from it...
