i recently just installed a steeda boost pipe for my vortech v-2 sq and was wondering since the boost increase should i do anything to my air/fuel, spark advance settings on my predator. i noticed a little bit of detonation but i dont know which way to take the adjustment. any help would be grateful

I don't know much about the predator, but if your experiencing detonation you'll want to pull timing out! My personal opinion is ditch the vortech tune and predator and get a custom SCT tune. Keep the predator for pulling and clearing codes later!

I added a TB and a Steeda power pipe on mine at the same time and went straight to the dyno to check the A/F readings. I was actually a little fat, so I had him adjust it and get some more power while staying safe. At least get your A/F checked dude....better safe than sorry.
