    what were your mods when you were getting the 102 mph?

    BLWN...i forget what the parameter is, but scroll through and should say something like TPS Voltage or THrottle voltage or something like that, and without your foot on the gas should read around 0.99. if you do it with the key in accessory so the gauge is on, and the truck off, you can floor the pedal and see it go up to around 4.xx volts at WOT then .99 or so off

    like i said a lot of variables at the track. i'd run it again and see how you make out. even spinning on the launch or deep vs shallow staging will change your mph

    and if its still 99.6...fold the mirrors back to bump it over 100 lol

    not the best shot, but i put double sided tape on the back of mine and mounted it on the front of the JLP airbox. still easily in reach to pop the devil head off and adjust it to another setting if needed. mine is set on #2 as well.

    btw, which length cable do you have? mine's the shorter one, but they also have one with like a 3 foot cable. if its that one i'd maybe mount it over by the fusebox or on the firewall loom cover

    Just came in from doing mine, following Stews DIY above.

    Started at 1.04 and finished with it cycling back and forth between 0.99 and 1.00.

    Predator 8r9/8r10 Revision

    1. Plug in the Predator.
    2. Select Diagnostics.
    3. Turn ignition on, but don't start engine.
    4. Select Real Time Data.
    5. Select Acceleration WOT.
    6. Select from list.
    7. Select fast rate.
    8. Scroll down to and select Throt Pos Before FME (selecting it puts a * to the left of it).
    9. Press ESC
    10. Press ESC
    11. At Select Log Data, replay later using playback, select NO.

    This will send it into immediate Playback mode and you should
    now see your TPS reading.

    If it is not at .99 then open hood and put Predator out the window and place it by the hood hinge where you can see it.

    12. Loosen the screws (Phillips) holding the TPS on the left side of throttle body
    13. Turn clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower it while watching the Predator display.
    14. When you get your numbers right then tighten the screwsit back down making sure to hold the position as it may wander off from the .99 you are looking to achieve.
    15. After tightening the screws down snug you can unplug the Predator or do ESC ESC all the way back out unplug it and then turn off the key.
    I am unable to find this option 8. Scroll down to and select Throt Pos Before FME (selecting it puts a * to the left of it).

    Any help would be appreciated. I have Rev. 8r9

    You don't have to select, you will see the (*) on the side of the option, that means it's the selection you want.
