Default Most Beneficial Part of Tuner

hey everyone. just wondering what you guys think is the most beneficial feature of a tuner like the predator. also, you must use higher octane if you adjust the timing correct? is it pointless to buy a tuner if you don't plan on adjusting the timing? thanks.

Custom tuning capability, datalogging.

If you use the standard Predator peformance tune or a custom tune you must use premium gas.

hey man i have a supercharger and a predator, if you want to get the performance tune out of it for a mustang with no power adder then its probably worth it. but for me i can just adjust fuel and timing, i cant use the tune. id have to dyno it, then send diablosprt the dyno information, then pay another hundred bucks for a custom tune. so i regret buying mine but for a stock mustang it has a ton of capabilities, like if you have an auto you can change the shift points and firmness, idle, and rev limiters on it. plus it gives you trouble codes and you can clear them with the unit. plus they have their own performance tune you can install which is supposedly good for 20+ hp. ands plenty more. read up on it. but id get their tuner over any other chip etc.
