OK quick question...Ive read numerous posts about timing advance settings to +10%. All I need to know is do I change BOTH settings?! 2k-4k & 4k-7k? Only one...the posts have been great covering this question...but noone says which one you max out? both or just one?? It seems 91 grade octane is OK to use also with the timing maxed at 10%? hmmm...interesting...Ill have to try that one out myself...93 sounds like a safer bet to me.

let me know tho guys...I wanna set it right the first time.

Yes, unless you want it to change your timing back down as you accelerate.

I believe the 10% only changes it 2 degrees anyways. Here in California all we have is 91 and it's run just fine.

Don't expect any real performance difference.

Yep. I'm not sure what just punching up the basic Predator tune will get you for HP, but once the Predator was dialed in on the dyno that's what I gained. Started out 257/275, ended up with 270/287 on a Mustang dyno.

You must have one of the 'monday motors' then if you were only pulling 257

now your diablo put you up to the stock baseline of a mach

I thought that was about right for a Mustang dyno?

Both times I've gone to the dyno, it was a MUSTANG Dyno, not a Dynojet. About a 20HP difference between the two.
