really?dam i need to buy one because either way if i were to take it to get tuned they would still make me a buy a xcal or some other tuner. might as well buy the sniper and make my own dam tune and check it with a wideband once i buy it.Jvog if i remember correctly you already installed your blower and used sniper to make your base tune.How did that turn out?

Does the sniper have a feature that'll let you select the fuel octane and it sets the timing accordingly? Or will you need to adjust timing and listen for pinging to figure out if you need to run a higher octane?

it automatically advances it 2* globally i think on a 93 octane and u can play with it from there.

so if I run the software and set that I use 91octane, it'll automatically set the timing to a safe level? I am asking this because I would like to have a safe baseline to where I can start adding/retarding timing.

Yes you should be fine. If you have a laptop you can datalog it after you put the tune on and look at the timing

Wish I didn't have everything I need to fix atm, or I'd get special forces right now...=/ Rear end is going out so I need a new diff and will be getting 3.73's at the same time.
