I thinhk you just wanna mess with the shift firmness setting in the tranny if you are auto, and just advance the spark setting to max.

Ok ok hoooollllddd on there!!!!! Ok first of all DO NOT load the preset tune that diablo gives you. Its crap!!!! You may even loose power (like it did) by loading it. DO NOT max out your timing unless your running premium and octaine booster!!!! This is what you need to do. If you cant have it custom tuned on the dyno then just advance the timing A LITTLE. Too much timing can cause a lot of problems. You can lean the fuel out a little but if it pings AT ALL then put it back. Lower the fan temps a air to keep the engine a little cooler. You cain raise your shift points a little and turn off the top speed limiters. Other than that i wouldnt mess with too much. And i guess if you really you can turn off the EGR switch but it doesnt really matter. My suggestion is to take it to a dyno and have them write a custom tune for it. Its the only way to make power out of those tuners.

hmmm...im going to set those tunes tonight or tommorow and see if it makes any kind of a difference...if I cant really tell anything then I might try alot harder to find a tune place....anyone know of any places in Oklahoma for that....

Sell it and buy an SCT.

Code - I have no problem with my Predator tuner... I was going to buy the SCT (like everyone on here says), but then took my car to the track. I'm very happy with the Predator.
