use to have the hypertech first liked it then found a good deal on a banks sixgun liked it also but needed a little more so i stacked it with the hypertech well now i am using efi live and love it i haven't had the time to mess with tunes yet mostly because of school but what i have done is great i have made tunes that i think are comparable to my old hypertech so i am getting there

 

Ive tried them all, but PPE is by far the best. Unless you want to Spend the time with EFI.

 

I want a tuner that puts out minimal smoke (zero, if possible). How is PPE in that department?

 

if you want something like that get banks...PPE smokes, but power wise it beats the socks off of banks.

only thing about banks it keeps the power to a safe limit, and most people want more than that so people look for something else.

 

PPE for the LBZ is going to smoke but all of them are. Predator does not put out a ton of smoke and it is a pretty decent programmer, I like mine.

 

I run the Bully Dog Triple Dog on my LBZ, its the only programmer Ive ever ran on it.. I have been told SO MANY times to get the PPE, and I am in the market for one this fall after I get my other mods done.. The Bully Dog for me is "okay" Tow/Econ tune is slightly more power than stock, no smoke, and no mpg gain.. Performance tune has the best mpg, and very little if any smoke, you have to really mash on it and it will just puff.. Extreme Tune drops me back down to 12-15 mpg depending on the skinny pedal.. and makes quite a bit of smoke and good power.. Like I said, I am selling my Bully Dog, and going to go with a PPE when I find the right deal.. I want more power for some occasions, and more tunes.. I hear the only downside to the PPE is no option for dash display? Someone please correct me if thats wrong.

 

yeah, ppe doesn't have an "outlook monitor" or switchable tuning on the fly.

but thats what gauges are for anyway. they are more accurate.

 

You guys that run a chip with multi switchable tunes notice any problems with changing tunes on the fly and the trans not having time to relearn the added power?

 

ive heard that people mess up their trans more with stitching tunes from going to economy to race because the transmission hasn't had time to learn

 

Its not so bad if you train your tranny with the Tow Haul mode on for the race mode and econo without it on.
