AFTERMARKET PARTS
Use of the DiabloSport Predator with aftermarket products is at the owners risk; some aftermarket products create rich or lean conditions based on design by the products manufacturer. It is impossible to test every possible product so please proceed with caution when using any product related to adding airflow like throttle bodies, filters and cold air intake kits or boost in the form of pulleys, or blower upgrades, changes in exhaust systems or exhaust components, even rear end gear changes (which make rate of acceleration changes can affect air fuel ratio). Customers with these modifications may need a custom tune from Diablosport or one of its CMR dealers. DiabloSport recommends the use of a dyno and air fuel meter to monitor data when adding aftermarket products to make the proper tune changes with Predator. *Premium grade unleaded fuel must be used for all PREDATOR applications; AMOCO, MOBIL, SUNOCO fuels are recommended.
