If you want this as bad as I do the manufacturer says he needs more people to express interest in this thread on ther website.

It only takes a few minutes to register and say yes I want this capability. Personally I would love a race or N20 tune to help propell my SRT deep into the 11's. I know the mustang guys have great sucess with these as well as others. Do it now please.

My boss has this system on his mustang.
He had the sniper system but it was a real letdown, so he went with this with a tune from Mustang Specialties in Pompano Beach Florida. He is very happy now

I should also point out my boss paid less than 500 bucks to have this system installed, his old system retuned and then pulled on a dynojet. Extremely good deal for what they did.

He then complained how expensive it was.

Part of the reason why the OP posted the thread in the forum is to garnish more interest in getting Diablosport to make a Predator tune for the C32. That's why theres a list to sign up. If owners don't sign up to petition making a Predator for us, then the likelyhood that Diablosport will make it for us is very low. I talked to a tuning company a few days ago that knows the guys at Diablosport on a personal level. It took them a few years to tune the SRT8s, but the SRT8 market is huge. Basically, it's not a question of cost at this point, but a question of IF and WHEN Diablosport might do it. Cost is irrelevant if Diablosport says it's not worthwhile to do it based on microeconomics.

FYI: Why a Predator ODBII tune device is worthwhile for Mercedes tuning....

Imagine being able to drive to your local dyno tuning shop and have them baseline dyno a car with A/F ratio. With a Predator, all you have to do is plug it in to a USB->serial connection and have the tuner upload a tune that's written specifically for your car. Take the Predator programmer with the loaded file and connect to the ODBII port and upload to the ECU. Done in 5 minutes. No need to take out the ECU and ship it elsewhere. It's custom dyno tuning made cheap, easy and affordable for the masses. SRT8 guys have been it doing that way and can also change gear ratios, etc.

Need more people on board, please register and tell them you want this. I think the price for these handheld units is usually under $600.

Not sure on price, but most are under $600 I believe. For those who haven't registerd on the diabllo site, please do so and tell them you want it. You might not want it now but the only way to get them to pursue it is to log on and tell them to make it. We are up to 2 pages now over there, lets make it three.

LET C32 2002
For all who didn't know I read LET has put big money into a handheld device that they will loan for purchase of the LET tune preloaded on devise thru the ODBII(maybe they will offer ones for sale) and I heard the flip switch Tune is ready or about ready just requires pricing. Jerry posted about the handheld on another thread...

This is to have capability to use car instead of having it down while ECU is shipped back and forth and possibility to email tunes the same day and not much wait time. Maybe we can buy such devices and have him email the tune............innovative!

Agreed, the small amount of c32 people who who actually purchase this would make it very expensive to develop and produce. Jerry is saying that they will ship a portable programmer already with your tune on it and you tune your car and ship it back. Very nice!
