i believe you wouldn't need a timing adjuster because you can modify the timing with the diablo. What else did you have in mind to get?

^^^^ To answer that question: Yes it would do you good to get the timeing adjuster. The Diablo tuner will only allow you advance your timeing about a total of 12.5 deg's or so, and that is only at WOT. The timeing adjuster will allow you to adjust your timeing all the way to 15 Deg.'s advance as long as you don't get any detantion. '

To answer your other question, get all the bolt-on's along with your Programmer. But if you get Nitros get it put on a dyno and have them tune it, and same goes with if you get a S/C.

Programmers are very good don't get me wrong but you can't go wrong with a professional tune. That's the route I'm taking. They get your car on the dyno and diagnose the best tune/program for your applications.

The predator does not adjust in degrees like a timing adjuster. You want to adjust to 14 degrees and the predator adjust in decimals.
