RE: timing

14 degrees advanced. You may try 15 and see if you get any surging or CE light. If not then keep it there.

RE: timing

so 14 it is lol. thanks guys.... ok here is the thing.. i didnt cancel the order yet... but i will on monday so i can just save that 350 for a custom tune... around how much does a custom tune cost first of all? and second of all , i know if worst comes to worst and i have a chip burnt already without the rear end gears yet... i can get a speedcal to fix that... but do speedcals also fix the speedometer if u get bigger wheels and tires?

RE: timing

chips can be re-burnt too. so can programmers, they can be programmed to do any tune. Look into the new SCT if you havent already, those can be re-burned via email.

RE: timing

the predator can be reprogammed via email, for 100 dollars you can get a custom tune and get it changed anytime you want to after that for free, it you bolt ons just let them know.

RE: timing

so would it be a better value to just get the predator, get a dyno test , get the right numbers. send the dyno numbers to diablo and have them make a tune with the dyno results i get , and then send it to me ... OR would it be better to just not getting the predator, getting a dyno numbers a custom tune and that tune burnt on to a chip all at one time at one place...?
