Suggestion idea

Post by 03stangr »

Hi all
I was thinking about a couple things actually.

1. any plans for adding the same options/modifications for Partial throttle including torque converter lockup adjustments? There's more options for WOT than part throttle at the moment for model - U7146 and torque converter lockup adjustmnts are becoming an item of interest for many.

2. It would be awesome if you could add a feature that would allow a person to use the cruse control buttons, like the ones on my 03 Mustangs steering wheel, to shift gears for a fully electronic transmission like the 4R70W etc...
Use one button to toggle it off/on into manual mode shifting, another button to upshift and another to downshift. This would be the greatest upgrade I could imagine and it would be a great selling/marketing point for your product sales !
Thanks
Rowland

1. Part throttle changes are complex and not really doable as a simple adjustable parameter.

2. That would require hardware changes in the car itself....again, not so doable.

Continuous process improvement is the name of the game these days. Others are offering these adjustments which is why I mentioned it.

Again, I've seen this available/being done by others. The only problem is that you have to buy their complete hardware/software which would over ride what my predator does and we don't want that - right.

If you all could come up wiith a additional small piece of hardware that worked with the priedator tune that had a couple connections on it then supply a wiring harness which would connect to the unit and between the wires that go to the stock cruise control wiring, I believe that's all it would take from what I've seen on another website. These two items would of course have to be sold separetely if a person wanted to do so. From what I saw it's a pretty coool item to have so I'm sure there are some that would pay for the ability to have sort of a paddle shifter manual mode shifter. Send me an email if you'd like to see the website and item that I'm referiring to.

The problem with their unit is that it requires you to split the wiring between the engine and tranny valve body duties computer system. That may cause problems or error codes since the obd on later cars/trucks etc..controls both engine and tranny valve body duties as you're aware.
Therefore, this would be an opportunity for Diablosport to create a unit where it would not be necessary to split the two off and a better solution.
