The Predator or Trinity will wake that 4.6 up quite a bit, and allow you to fine tune the settings if you desire for optimum performance.

Trinity is $599, Predators can be had for like $325.

Gains up to 30+ rwhp and 35 ft/lb are possible with the provided tunes, and gains of 1-2 MPG are reasonable.

mike we all love you and diablo even though we may not say much, but i'm sorry. i'm just gonna have to call B.S. on numbers like 30rwhp and 35rwtq, on a stock 2v 4.6L.

At the OP check amazon.com they had some predators for $300 awhile back.

Good catch

I was quoting 5.4 3V gains...gotta pay attention!!

My bad.

Gains on the 4.6 2V are in the 15-20 rwhp range, with about 20-25 ft/lbs as well.
I cant seem to find any dyno sheets since our last Ford tuner left, lemme see what I can dig up.

I thought the gains on a 4.6 with the Predator was like 9hp. I got an 08 F150 with the 4.6 and it did wake it up a bit. I am happy with mine. I also got mine from J.C. whitney with a 20 percent off coupon. Can't remember the final cost though, but I think it was under $300 with shipping.

Whatever octane gas the customer decides to run also makes a difference in the HP+tq gains also.......

typically the companies making and selling the tuners (no matter who they may be) always list the 91-93 octane tunes, since they have the best gains.

P.S. Mike if you could get us some before and after dyno graphs of your products i'm sure it would help people who are thinking about buying diablo tuners.

Nope, you have to externally link. This forum does not allow attachments.
