I don't think it's possible.

LOL...@ Rob! :)

Seriously though, the Predator wouldn't even allow this. Once a program is loaded, the Predator won't allow another of it's own programs to be "stacked" on top of it.

I thought the Predator was a simple programmer that modified the stock ECU/PCM? Plug it in, adjust the tuning, unplug it and put it back in the garage.
Now, Predator and Edge, AFAIK, can be stacked....

stacking is using a programmer and a plug in harness type box, not writing two programs to the ECU

Yep, I did it one time on accident. It won't let you load another 100 HP tune on top of the 100 HP tune already installed...lol!

What if you had 2 Predators?? When you load the first tune it saves stock info and "builds" a new program. Could you then use a second Predator and modify it even more?

I did it once with the PPE hot and a predator on 100 by mistake. It ran just like the ppe hot alone. Scared the crap out of me when I found out. I returned the ppe to stock, then did the same with the predator, and no problems.

The last tune applied overwrites the previous tune...

so they don't "add" to what the previous tune was?

Programmers replace the previous tune.
Adders like the Edge and Unichip "fool" the stock computer into seeing what it "wants" to see, while sending information to the engine controls that we want to send... they are basically translators.

Programmer would be if your friend persuaded you that you don't need to sleep and would rather party.
Since you already want to party, a second friend (programmer) would only replace the first.

Edge would be like your friend telling you that your front door is locked and the lights are out so you can sleep, when he has actually unlocked it and turned the lights on to throw a party, but he's also plugged your ears and eyes so you can't hear or see the party.

Now two Edges stacked? I have no clue what that would do.
