No, we don't mean a Preditor or any other handheld tuner. A good tune consists of you giving your car to someonewho knows what he/she is doing, them putting the car on a dynograph and the setting the air/fuel ratios correctly to your car. You can do this without a handheld tuner. People do it all the time. It just costs more to do it that way and you can only hold one tune at a time. If you have one of the handhelds and then go get your car dynoed, they can tune it for everyday driving and aggressive driving. That way, your car is nice and safe everyday and will be real squirly if you want her to be

Here is what it looks like when a car is being tuned correctly

You're right if you're thinking it would be easier. But it isn't necessary. The way they do it without the handheld tuners is burn another chip for your car; which adds about $200 to the price. It's always a good idea to have the tuner no matter what you're doing
