Default Diablo Predator Features???

I just got a predator for my 02 Z28 A4. I have 3.73 insted of the stock 2.73 gears and I used the tuner to fix my speedo. What are some of the other functions like, COT and shift speed and shift pressure etc..., for and whats a safe change and what will start breaking things? The car is stock other than 3.73 Slp Lid and a Bullet with a turndown.

COT is for the catalytic over-temp protection... if you still have cat's on your car, leave it alone... but if you do not have cat's on it anymore, you can turn that off by setting the temp all the way up to the highest value...

shift speed and pressure are already tweaked in the diablo tunes compared to stock... but you can adjust them more if you want... it's all personal preference for those...

if you want the shifts firmer, add more pressure... if not, then you can subtract some pressure... etc etc.

you can not adjust things to the point where you'll break anything with the predator settings hahaha...

Oh ok thanks MonteSS.

Haha no Mike I think Xzibit will understand and not get mad. LOL

What about the shift MPH? Is that something I should change since its got a different gear now? And what would take priority the Speed or the RPM to make it shift?

the shift MPH is the MPH that the trans will shift at like say its shifting out of 2nd gear at 75MPH you can go up or down in 1 MPH sections

The MPH setting is a minimum speed that must be reached to command the shift, so yes, these will need to be chalged (lowered) after the gear swap. Best bet for starters si to determine what % of change you made from stock to current gears, and reduce the shift MPH by that %

2.72 gear to a 3.73 gear would be 2.73/3.73=.73? So 73%?...please excuse my ignorance.
