I am currently running the Predator on 65hp with 295 Toyo M/T and getting 15-17 daily and 18.5-20 on interstate. What is everyone else getting and which H.P. level. Was thinking of getting either the Banks 6-gun or Edge Juice w/ Attitude. Thanks

Banks (Stock, was like 15, tank avg)
Level 2, picked up 1mpg.
SL net gain of 0, probably due to heavy foot exploiting extra power
Level 4, picked up about 2mpg, tank avg of 17.
Been doing a LOT of city driving, so my tank averages are lower than someone who does a lot of highway driving.
Going to Vegas for Memorial day weekend, and will put the Banks to the test on L4, to see if it gets better mileage than stock at the same speed. (Set @ 67 over 250miles, got 19.1 including going up and down 2 high elevation passes)
Prestonia24,
What are the hp levels 1-6? Like Level 1 = 25hp, level 2 = 50 hp???

Steve, keep in mind that the big power tuners like Edge, Banks or PPE will provide you enough power to fry any stock tranny.
PPE is supposed to be excellent for mileage. Superchips is also supposed to be good.
Well Nick- I thought Banks and Edge were supposed to have safeguards to keep anything from happning. I currently have the Diablo Predator like yourself but thought for the longrun I'd be better off with Banks or Edge.

They are good power upgrading systems. Edge didnt work well for me with my 04 LLY.
The misconception is that yes, it does detect slip and then detunes it as it pretty much retards some things to prevent further damage.
The problem is that it already slipped, enough anyways for the computer to detect it...So, in a sence, the damage has already occured...
Thats how I look at it anyways.

Thats how i look at it also, Pretty Much if you romp on it with the higher HP levels, Your going to smoke it, Safety Features or not..
What are the Edge EVo's and the PPE Economy getting?

I have gotten 21 MPG at 70 -75 MPH with my LBZ bone stock! I just put on an Edge w/Attitude and a straight through muffler so my fingers are crossed! Could MPG increase a bit? We'll see and I'll let you know?
