Tuner Help
ok... I know very little about tuners. I saw this thread and decided to post my question here. Would a tuner be benifical to own if all I had where a few bolt-ons and upgraded exhaust? I know id gain more rwhp but does one need anything before hand to use it? or does it just work by plugging into your car. How do you know what tunes to use or not use?? Im just wondering. Thanks

Good question BlueMagic, I'm curious as well. Let's say one had a few simple bolt-ons in their car to help the intake/exhaust flow better, what parameters can be tweaked on the predator 93 octane tune to maximize gains?

Don't waste the $ on a TB....the stock one is good well past 500 hp and most aftermarket ones create idle and drivability problems.

I'm going to have to agree with that(Partially), ever since i put on my accufab throttle body I've had nothing but problems with my idle and drivability, i'm putting my stock TB back on this weekend. In regards to performance gains...well i'm sure there's some (i put on a plenum and cai at the same time, so it's hard to say).

About the the tuner, you can bump up the timing and adjust a few parameters, I got mine used and think it was well worth it.

i have an accufab and did have the rev problem but i took out the screw that opens and closes the butterfly plate inside of the tb, before i took it out i was revving up to 5k at a stoplight, soccer moms didnt like that.
