Default Help with Predator in OC, CA

If anyone knows how to use this... and could help me tune my car in Orange County, I'd be more that grateful. Kind of new to computer controlled cars so I have no idea where to start with this device. My current mods are Longtubes, ORY, Lid, Catback. I have a laptop and the tuner and the cables but have no idea what to do with it... =/ Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Question

I have the Predator but is a hand held tuner, no lap top and cables needed. What kind of Predator tuner do you have?

How can you do a full custom tune with a laptop and Predator??
I thought whoever you bought it from has to do it or is there somewhere you can download/buy the software?

well, i just found out from diablo that for GM cars you cant do as much as i thought

with ford cars you can do about anything

u can still add fuel or take away fuel at different rpm increments as well as advance or retard spark at different increments

the laptop is needed for the tuning program which loads a tune into the predator which then loads to the car
