Predator question?

I just bought a diablosport predator and I had a question. I have a 98 gt but I am currently building a 99 gt motor to put into it. Obviously I will be using the same computer and all just changing out the motor. If I go to use the tuner with the 98gt motor in will it somehow lock to that mtor and be useless when i go to tune my new engine??? I am getting a custom tune when the new enigne goes in, in a month or so. I want to use the tuner and kinda mess around with it and see if i can get some power gains outta my 98 motor, but im scared to use it and then not have it be useable when I go to get the tune... Any help will be useful! thanks in advance![/align]

From my understand it "locks" to the computer, not the engine so you should be fine.

You are correct. However it wouldn't be a bad idea to remove the tune before the swap then add it back afterwards.

RE: Predator question?

in the options menu there is the reset option where it "unmarries" the computer and allows it to be put on a different car. but if your keeping the same computer your prolly fine but i would uninstall it just to be safe then redo it later after your car is running, im sure a lot of other guys here will tell you to sell it for a sct tuner. i use diablosport and i like it, although i have a custom tune for it not the "canned" one.
