On sat ill be doing my brake stuff, and I got my tuner today.  I'll turn off my rev and speed limiter and egr stuff, but im gonna leave my timing alone for the moment. I'll probably wait until I have my x pipe on until I tune it.

Going to family gathering on sunday afternoon out in east bumfuck.

I'm bringing a full tank of gas, because theres this really nice mile-long straight stretch thats pretty wide....

I hope to get a whole lotta practice in then.

BTW, might be getting a 1k bonus in from my job (the school not Sears). Gears and clutch anyone?

advance the timing, its not going to matter if the x pipe is on or not for that. As long as you run at least 91 octane (thats what my old GT was actually tuned for with the timing advanced + 10) you will be fine. It would be foolish not to take advantage of the extra power.

You guys were telling George is A/F ratio is off, what else does the canned predator tune do besides advancing timing and such? I plan on spending an entire day at the garage with the predator and a laptop. Just to see what I can mess with, learn a bunch of stuff too.

Its f'ing pouring downtown, *sigh*.

the tune that comes with the predator is designed around a stock car. From the factory, the cars run rich. The Diablo leans it out a bit, as well as adjusting timing i believe. But this is on a stock GT. Once you start adding mods, the canned tune goes out the window. As i said, speaking from experience, my car was balls slow with the canned tune on it.
