Tunes for a 8.1L Big Block

Post by Hulkblock8.1 »

I just got my Predator today, about 4 hours ago. I installed the program that came on it and it's good. My question is i don't know what program it is. It just said Factory HP Tune. I thought they came with more then one tune. Like an 87 and a 93. Is that a 91,93, or 87 octane tune? I have half a tank of 91 right now. I was wondering does anyone have a fuel economy tune for 87 or 89, and haul azz tune for 91, and a tow tune for 89 or 87?

Vehicle info:
2001 Chevy Beastarado 2500HD LS 4x4 EC SB
496 Big Block V8 and an Allison. 4.10 G-80 rear =10-15mpg
6-7.5" Superlift 315/75/16RE(33.5inches tall) Nitto Dune Grappler's (suck in the mud) 16" Ion Wheels Volant CAI w/Ram Air Dynomax Ultraflow Catback

Predator is a U7198 v.9r14

When you get that "factory tune" option only means that we do not support that calibration that is in your truck.
If you could export your original backup and post or e-mail it to me we can add it in for you so we can wake that beast up for you.

the Factory HP Tune is just a copy of your original stock tune that allows you to make changes to it... it's not a diablo/performance tune...

you SHOULD have more than that tune - should have a performance tune and an 87 octane tune...

sounds like a glitch with your predator...

Johan,

Will you be able to create a 87 econo tune, 89 Tow tune, and 91/93 peformance tune? I want to be able to switch for when i travel cross country or i'm towing my offroad truck or when i want to go really fast. Kinda sucks that i dropped almost $400 on the tuner and don't have any tunes on it.
