How the Predator Compares With the Stealth
First a little about my truck;
2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LS Crew cab, short bed, 4X4, with the Duramax Diesel and Allison 5 speed automatic transmission. Tires = BF Goodrich All-Terrains 285/75/16” Torsion bar keys, 2 added springs per side in rear, Transmission = Deep pan and Transynd, Gauges = X-Monitor (Pyro/Boost) Pre Turbo ( Passenger side exhaust manifold), AFE II air filter, Banks monster, A.R.E. bed cover, Truck weight = 7280#
The Predator hot program (120+ hp) is much improved over the old 110 hp setting. It runs much cooler then before, has very nice power, good feel, very responsive when passing, and builds boost quickly. However it is still very hot compared to the Stealth 135hp by Quadzilla.
I would like to see the temperature to be a little cooler (maybe 100-200*) under hard runs. I did not get any “over boost” or “map sensor” codes, however I hard a lot of trouble trying to set it up for other then stock size tires. The ABS and brake light came on, but I think it had to do with the tire size being way out of wack. (2,000 rpm at 85 mph with 33” tires) I ended up setting the tire size to 235/75/16 and the speedometer is pretty close.
The temperature today was in the mid to upper 80`s with 15-20 mph wind and 65% humidity
Price: The Stealth will cost you about $150 more then the Predator. If you are a member of one of the Diesel pages, you can save 10% (That is if the deal is still good) I got my Stealth for $536 delivered to my door in 2 days. The Predator was $445 delivered in 3 days. If you don’t mind a little less power, you can get a tamed down Stealth box (110hp max. and a 55hp tow setting) for the same price as the Predator
