hey ladder31, your best bet is to locate
a local dyno tuner and have the vehicle
dyno tuned.

you can try getting an email tune, but i'm
not sure who does predator tunes.

i seemed to get it idling ok, just raised the idle to about 860, and i know i'll have to fatten up the mass air because of the jlt cai and the cams, but i was wondering about the advancing/retarding of the timing. Im trying to avoid getting screwed on a cost to dyno tune it. thanks for any help

Email Doug at Bama chips and it will be the best tune you can get for mail order with a Predator. That is what I am running even after a dyno tune.

Doug at Bamachips and Eric Brooks at Brooksspeed.com both tune for the predator. I don't have cams, but I have both of their tunes.
