Default Predator settings

I have a 02' GT AUTO (mods are in my sig) Does anyone have any suggestions for shift point/shift firmness settings? Also the tuner will only let me adjust the speedo on the "canned tune", i cannot get ahold of diablosport and i guess no 1 can help (we have tried pretty much everything, so ppl from this site who helped me, thanks for the valiant effort) so i guess i have to live with it. Does anyone have any suggestions for altering the canned tune so it wont absoloutely MURDER my performance as it currently does ( seems that it isnt getting fuel or something at higer RPM's, put it this way, my friend with the exact same car (auto also) bone stock absoloutely walked me by like 4 cars) I dont want to mess with the timing but is there anything else i can do? thanks guys

firm up shift points, set torque modulation,set the shifts points etc. you go through and what you know set. stay away from things you don't know. its also good if you have gears to set the speedo raise the rev limiter. all those little things you just gotta go through it.

iF YOU LIKE HARD SHIFTS, SET IT AT 220. eVEN AT 80MPH, YOU CAN FEEL IT SHIFT HARD GOING INTO O/D. iT ALSO BARKS THE TIRES HARD FR 1ST TO SECOND. The torque modulator. I've tried all three and end up always going back to stock. 100% lock the converter up. It's great at 0-60. BUT BLOWS WHEN PASSING SOMEONE AT 80MPH. I LIKE THE ENGINE TO WIND UP ALTTILE. GETS IT INTO A BETTER RPM RANGE FOR A NICE BLISTERING PASS. THE 50% doens't seem to do much of anything. The only down side to stock setting is the winding up will lose you alittle time getting into the next gear. If you race, thats not good. Im going to go after a higher stall when I get the money. The rich /lean settings. I've went both ways and almost learned the hardway. I usually go 0.5 increments. I have it on 0.5 lean right now in both rpm settings. Very peppy until Im in the 80mph and it seems to die(feels like it needs more fuel). I don't suggest going rich, I went up to 1.0 rich and the car started sputtering and losing power. I ended up getting new o2 sendsors b4 the car ran right again. I would of thought by now that someone would of come up with a good setting for this.
The timing advance, what a guessing game. I have it at 4 % and that seems to be my sweat spot. I've done it as high as 6% and my car seemed to tick alot louder.(I run 93-94 octane.) So I put it back to 4. I saw a post at 10%???? I would be nervouse to try that. The regular diablo tune doesn't seem to do much on the performance side unless I tinker. DIablo cust. serivice blows. The always go aroung the answer I need. Thats bull sh(*^(*T for $400 I spent on the tuner.
Im saving to get a a/f tune, it's ashame w/ my bolt on's that I have to do this. If you find any actual useful info. on good settings, let me know.
