i would get efilive i got the predator the first time and was happy with it but then efilive came out and i swithed and realized how much better it was than the predator and most tuners out there. most people that use ifilive can buld a tune alot better than what is n the predaotor and after a month or two of playing you will be able to also. with efilive your tune could grow with you so when you get more power goodes (trans upgrade. etc) you can change your tune!

A stage 3 tranny will hold up to the 500rwhp range. Above that you will need engine internal upgrades.
EGT/boost gauges.
Free flowing exhaust.

cool.. thanks for the replies! so if i were to just run efiLive, i would need just a stage "3" tranny? is there a big difference (price wise) with the stage 5 suncoast?

with efilive you could run the stock allison but not make a big hp tune. then when money becomes avalable upgrade the trans and change your tune to have as much power as you want.

just get a stage 3 tranny and a ppe hot et +2. I had close to 700rwhp on a stage 3 tranny and guess what it held up just fine. EFI is a pain in the azz unless you really know what you're doing or have someone tune it for you. PPE will make 500rwhp and all you do is plug it in.

bogger is right if you can't go wrong with ppe or efilive. but you can get a 500 hp tune with efilive if you order from mcrat.
my thought is if you are going to do the trnas make sure you do it right the first time and not want go in and redo it when you get hit by the power bug again :)
