I would just go with the CON Fe with the new flywheel replacement for that DM you have in there now. My CON Fe is holding everything I have. It isn't too bad to drive once you get the hang of it. Backing up with a load is the only thing that gets you once in a while but you just have to deal with it otherwise I can almost make it feel like the stocker.

Shouldn't he be worried about blowing up the turbo or is there not enough fuel in the Predator?

He has a High Tech HTB2 62/12 on there. Bigger and better than stock. That turbo will handle 50 PSI all day but the 1:1 drive pressure or best PSI for that trubo is at 45 PSI according to High Tech. I have the same turbo but with a bigger exhaust housing is all. If he was still running his stocker than 35 is all you want out of those because after that it's just hot air and the turbo will not last I don't care what anyone says.

45psi is about as high as I've gotten it on the Performance setting so I'd say it's safe. I'm back on the tow setting as the clutch doesn't like me turning it up any higher.
I agree with what Staarma said too.......
