Default Predator Settings

New here, hate to open a new thread for this, but ive searched a couple hours and still havnt found a "clear" answer. I know the tune on the predator is set to conserve gas mileage, but is there any settings you can change to the tune as far as timing advance or wot range to get more out of it? Had a "generic" tune done to my 03 sierra, and the difference seemed way more than on my Mustang. My pony is not my daily driver, so gas mileage is not really important to me. Thanks

I had one of these tuners and got rid of it, I didn't like it.. It gave me a lot of problems, My friend dropped it one time out of his car window and it hit the ground pretty hard, I think it got damaged somehow but couldn't tell. It wouldn't turn on for a while then I took it in to get it looked at and they said they couldn't fix it. I bought another tuner and have been trying to figure out it..

The Predator has a large range of adjustable parameters, including WOT timing, WOT fueling, rev limit, speed limit, gear ratio, idle speed, and trans parameters on autos.

The provided performance tunes should add a solid 15 rwhp to your stang, and you can dial it in further using the adjustable parameters if you have an understanding of what you're doing there.

Thanks

Thanks Mike, I found all the settings you listed but was wanting to know what to change and what to set it to for max performance. I have a 5 speed with only CAI and exhaust right now. Like i said, gas mileage is NOT an issue. Thanks

Not that simple my friend.

We already have set the tunes up for max performance through dyno testing.
To think there is a magic setting that will just make more power is not an option. You can do some datalogging for fueling and spark and determine if it may or may not want more spark and or more/less fuel, but there is no way to know without logging.

Thanks
