Default predator cust tune - should my parameters have changed?

got my custom tune from Johan (very quickly I might add) - it is now downloaded to my Predator. the only part of the instructions I'm not clear on is how I get that tune into my car - do I select "Install Performance" like I did when I installed the original Predator tune, or do I have to retrieve it from somewhere else in the unit?

THANKS

Default ok got it installed - shouldn't my parameters be different?

just installed my custom tune and went under view parameters to reset shift timing pressure and noticed all my other parameters (spark, power enrichment, etc) were all at 0.00%. Shouldn't they be different now with my custom tune? Am I totally missing it here?

My adjusted files always come back 'zeroed' out. I just have to reload them while hooked up to the car.

On another tangent, the "spark" and "power enrichment" parameters are adjusted from a 'baseline' tune. When I get a 'custom' tune from johan (which has new baselines to adjust for my current LTFTs, timing, etc), I have to re-upload to the car, then adjust my 'other' parameters again (tire size, cooling fan temps, etc). Since I am still looking to tweak the spark and enrichment numbers for my car, I just deal with it and reload them each time I get a new tune. Besides, I almost have them memorized now! LOL
