hand held tunner bad idea for my mods?
i was thinking about getting one so i could turn off my rear O2's and maybe gain some power in the process. With my mods do you think its a waste of money to get a hand held tunner like the diablosport predator? Also if i could find one used do i have to worry about a hand held being locked to the previous owners car?

A handheld isnt goin to hurt at all. The more parts you add the more handy it will become. I would add some bolt ons like intake, tb and plenum, underdrives then buy a tuner. I would go with a sct tuner over a diablo but thats just personal preferance, they are both the same and do the same. Just most dyno shops use sct and they can tune and dyno your car at the same time to get the most hp for ya

As stated before it's not going to hurt you. I suggest picking up a tuner+some more aggresive gears. Just threw my car on the dyno and gained 3 rwhp as NA with the tuner. It may not sound like much but I gained about 8 tq from 3000-redline by just adding 4% fuel. So yea even as NA they help a little bit. Nothing noticable but I suppose for "bragging rights"
