Received the Duramax Predator this morning, after a little reading installed the 65 HP tune and took it for a drive just to see if it was as good as every one said. I was amazed at the overall performance since I consider myself a pretty conservative driver, and since I was only interested in the 40 HP tune for towing.
Well to make a long story short I installed the 85 HP tune to show off to a friend that always has a need for speed. On the way to his house I had to stop at a stop light where the right lane ends about 500 feet across the intersection. A red midsize truck pulled up on the right side and as the light changed he took off, I couldn't help myself, I hit it even though he had a jump on me. Before we reached the lanes end I was more than a full truck length ahead of him. I looked in the mirror and all I seen was him shaking his head. At the next stop light he got out an ran up and knocked on the window and asked, " is this one of the new Chev 300 HP diesels?" I told him "yes" and his response was, "you sure surprised me" and ran back to his truck. All I could do was sit there and grin. I checked out what he was driving ,it was a new V-8 Tundra. I thought they were supposed to be fast. :confused:
Went home any put the 40 HP tune in to stay out of trouble, really I only wanted the Predator to improve towing. Will find out how well it does in the mountians next week. :D :D :D
