Default Buying a programer to change wheel settings worth it? Help

I have a different set of wheels I want to put on my camaro and I was wondering if it would be worth it to buy a programer (Predator) just so I could change the settings so my MPH wont be off. I just want something simple, plug and play. I never used anykind of other programers that are more advanced then the simple push button ones and that would be all I really need. Also down the road when I upgrade my rear with a 9 inch and 4.10s. Any advice would be great thanks.

if you're going to swap wheels often then a used predator would be good (figure whatever price you can get one for, it'll cost another 80 or so to have them reset the handheld to work on your car, unless you buy new)

Does it have to be sent out back to the factory to be rest? How does that work?

I believe you do send it back to the factory... but I would email/call them first to make sure that's the case and that their policy hasn't changed.

Perhaps someone with first hand experience can verify this?
