I just installed a predator tune in my 01 vert.

I wanted to know if anyone has any extra tuning tips such as timing advance, air/fuel, or any other tip that'll will help pull some ponys out.

I have no cats, CAI & Underdrive pullies.

Just to throw it out there...I run the Factory Tune(which is your stock tune) with timing maxed. That seems to work better for my car and I have all bolt-ons except gears and cams on my '99 GT manual. It ran strong at the track last summer with that setup...minus the fact that my 60ft's were terrible. I have some upper and lower control arms now so I hope that helps.

I'm just saying to play around a little and don't assume the predator tune is better for you.

When you say MAX the timing, you moved the ball on the predator screen to the right (advance)?

Any reccomendations on air/fuel, I don't run cat should I lean or leave be?

Just asking, don't wanna f anything up.

Don't **** with your A/f unless you have a wide band or get the thing on a dyno. You need to know where your A/F is before you start playing with it. You could already be running lean for all you know.
