Couldn't find Johan but did find the thread about the tuner, and the manufacturer's website but no prices.
Amazon.com: $599 + inevitable HMRC raping on delivery.
Not worth it for an extra 25 bhp for me personally.
You could maybe hunt around for a second hand Predator that has been unassociated with previous vehicle - i was ok as Trinity came with the car, so didnt have to spend out on that one.

HMRC and Parcelforce/Royal Mail will be equally taking turns with you on delivery - i've waiting on new discs, pads, springs that have gone into a container which should have helped keep down the inevitable import costs....

Note to self: When running nearly 20lbs boost, use race gas.

Filled the boot with bags of rubble and prunings plus metal off-cuts for a trip to the local tip aka Recycling Centre.
Then drove to B&Q and refilled the boot with bags of sand and cement and several planks of treated timber.

I put the new wheels on the Vette at the weekend.
Shame they have Euro spec TPMS and not US ones,looks like I'm going to need to get them swapped over.

Headers going on next week.
Hi,had this prob years ago on my c5,only the other way round.

So i have 4 new us spec sensors for a c5,would they fit and work on your car.

Reckon you could try setting them up by putting them at each wheel before removal of tyres.

c6 may well be totaly different but let me know mate.

I replaced the crappy OEM reflector headlight units for these rather snazzy projectors.

Very kind of you to offer.
The C5 ones are different.

I've got two complete sets of wheels and tyres, I'll just get them swapped over so the right sensors are on the new wheels.
I'll probably also pick some spare ones when I'm back in the US.
Cool,sounds like you have it covered.biggrin

Over the last few weeks I've been doing a leisurely engine swap on my truck, it's so close to being a runner now!

I bit cheaty because Ian Goss did it not me, but

American racing Long tube headers and cats installed
New TPS in so all working there (I've got some spare Euro ones if anyone is in need)
New carbon centre console installed.

The headers went in to enhance the sound but what a difference they've made to the power delivery.
The mid range is now so much smoother and even more relentless than before.
They works really well with the QM550 Cams that were already installed.

The sound when going through 3500rpm was intoxicating before but now it is completely batst mad.
Having the mild to wild means that plodding around town, it doesn't upset anyone.
video required please.. (ideally, out of control madly squirelling up the road type)...

swapped the eagle F1 tyres that came with the Shelby for some Toyo R888 semi slicks, next up will be the Big Brakes, exhaust, lowering springs and power upgrades.
