Default Hand held tuner for cam?

Wondering the best type of hand hald tuner I could get until I have the chance to dyno tune my car. Do modded cars react better to tuners than stock trim?

Thanks for your time

Neither the HPP2 nor Predator are very good for a
non-stock vehicle. The Predator has to get a tune
(custom) loaded, if you are very different from any
of the ones they've done before at the vendor who
serves you, you may wait quite a while. The new
Vinci handheld claims to have some ready-to-go
cam & boltons tunes, but again it matters how much
you resemble what they've "got on the shelf" I think.

Given that all of these units are about 75%+ of the
price of HPTuners, and nowhere near the capability,
you might ought to consider the high road.

here's one you can use. you select the cam profile that matches your cam. load it. then you can tune from there with it. http://www.stealthram.com/vhptuner.htm i am currently using it on my 00 formula all stock excpet for SLP airlid and cutout. using the hiperf/stock cam setting + 10% timing, i gained .2 in the 1/4 mile. can't beat that from a handheld.

all stock + cutout open
60ft - 2.073
1/8 - 8.833 @ 82.55
1/4 - 13.636 @ 101.58

above + performance/stock cam program,+10% timing, shift firmness, shift enhancement
60ft - 2.041
1/8 - 8.697 @ 83.51
1/4 - 13.431 @ 102.90

i tried others like the stock cam/supercharged and the CAM #1 just for giggles. i gained a .1et/.5mph over stock from the CAM #1. for the supercharged one .05et/.3mph. remember the only thing i have added are the SLP airlid and cutout
