ORIGINAL: Getaway

No need for Brenspeed or others...

If you have the latest revision on your Predator, go to the OEM Select menu under Options. Choose the C&L RACER Tune. Go through the install steps, but when you get to Install Tune/Modify Tune, choose Modify. Add 10% to the MAF Table, and click OK. Escape out to theInstall/Modify window, and Install the tune.

I don't recall if there is an Octane option, but I run 93. I want to say the tune is safe for 91 though... if you think you hear any knocking with 91 octane, pull 2 degrees from Global Spark in the Modify Tune area then re-install.
I actually think I added a degree or two of Global Spark for my 93 octane, but I don't remember and would have to check the handheld.

Kinda went on and on there didn't I? [sm=icon_blah.gif]
Brenspeed and B ama tunes are some of the best out there....just making the changes you mention will not be near what their tunes are.

In an auto, you may be right because there are other parameters to adjust. However, in a manual, air/fuel is either on or it isn't. Shift firmness and other settings mean squat.

If someone wants to pay for a dyno, I'll be happy to compare the two, but I bet the difference, if any, would not be worth the $75 or whatever the "other guys" charge for their tune vs. this one for FREE.

Diablosport uses a dyno when writing their tunes same as the others. They are the creators of the hardware/software others are using. The tune I gave was fromDiablosport via telephone.

I'm not trying to knock those other vendors, but if you have a 5-speed manual 2006 Mustang GT (like me)...I highly suggest this tune. It is straight from the source, and with myroughly 7,000 miles of experience with it, I am a satisfied customer.

I have run the stock predator tune and 2 of Doug @ B ama tunes.....the stock diablo tune was nothing compared to that of dougs....i noticed a little pick up with the stock tunes, but Dougs tunes transformed my car to a complete different animal...

Yes, BIG improvement. Intake size becomes massive when removing the venturi...bigger than C&L Racer. That's why you are adding to the MAF table on top of that tune. I have no lag...look at my R/T and 60' inthe first post.

This is not a stock tune. The stock tune in the predator will not run without the venturi. You are using all custom parameters that were setup for the C&L Racer, then adjusting the MAF to get your air/fuel ratio correct for the additional airflow via Airaid.

I'd really like to see a dyno comparison of the tunes, but even then people would doubt dyno results. If I spent the extra money, I'd want to believe it was that much better too.

getting back to the original post - a 1.9 60ft on stock tires is nothing to sneeze at
