My car is stock would using a predator tuner do anything or wait till i do some mods...also does it hook up easy or you need more parts with it?? any help im totally new to the idea
do i gotta tune after each new MOD or no...and does it plug right in or is it hard to do??I dont wanna spend 350 on trash....are they easy for a newbie to use...so my car wont shift at such high rpms?
It comes with a tune that gives you more torque and horsepower. You don't need a new tune when you get basic bolt ons. Maybe for a cam, blower or turbo. It plugs in and is menu-driven. I have a few screen shots in my Cardomain thing.
The HP comes from bumping the timing (which requires higher octane fuel) and adjusting the A/F a little (which is best done with a dyno with A/F readout).
So if you are looking for power gains, don't get a programmer. However, like the others said, you can make your auto shift firmer, change shift points, change speedo (if you get gears), turn off MILs, etc.
It might be worth getting after you get all those mods put on your car and getting a custom tune.
yeah. what he said. there are some places that will give you a free tune for life if you buy the tuner from them
James @ RTWD, they have been so busy and take for ever here lately. another cool place is http://www.injectedracing.com/ that is where i bought mine from and he does 'custom tunes' pretty well. that would be a good investment if you are going to mod your car more.
