Take the aftermarket MAF out. You cannot use it safely with your stock tune, or even with any of the tunes or parameters you can play with on the Predator.

As for the Diablo, it's good for calibrating your speedo for a gear swap, otherwise without a custom duno tune it's rather worthless in your hands.

The CEL could have came on because you possibly installed the MAF backwards.

If the diablo comes with an upgraded tune for stock or stockish cars its not going to hurt the car.

There is almost zero, if not definatly zero, ways you could acutally damange anything on a light boltons (or even full boltons n/a) car with a tuner. The tune just has to be so far off as to make the car run like **** before its going to hurt anything.

I don't see any reason you cannot either bump the timing or run a "premium fuel" tune from a shop with the diablo... its not going to hurt anything and you should pick up a few ponys even without a custom tune.

yeah that's what I did when I got my gears installed. bought an xcal and used the premium tune from the vendor. no dyno tune just the generic one that xcal puts out for basically stock cars. dunno how much power I got out of it but it runs fine

Remove the spaces though... Photobucket has a resize option. That will be the easiest.
