Predator tuners COME INSIDE! HOW DO I USE MY PREDATOR?? I ordered one and dont know what values i want to put in I have Long tube headers, Lid, and catback, can someone give me the values to input into the predator?? PLEASE
Situation-My car Is acting reallllyy strange. Its a M6 and Ill go 10 miles an hour and have it in neutral and the car is still moving forward...and not even giving me a clue its slowing down. When I drive and come to a stop it idles while slowing down to like 1000+RPMs, and then will correct itself. When I start my car up it ****** stinks like its running rich as hell and have white smoke(vapor) coming out. I dont burn any oil..Some one help me????!! Do I really need a tune?, whats going on with my car? Anyone in houston area have HP tuners or LS1 edit?

The Predator is not really capable, as-delivered, of fixing
all that needs fixed on a modified car. The long tubes
are going to make fueling questionable, likiely make for
some false-trimming problems that manifest as flaky idle,
variable WOT enrichment.
Some Predator resellers will accommodate you with custom
tunes (if you want to wait), some forget you.
I'd start off with using the real time monitoring and see
what you can see, about the health of the fueling, knock
retard as an indicator of timing tolerance and so on.
There is no "cookbook" set of values to use because
nobody follows the same "recipe" and the devil is in
all the little, variable nonidealities that mods bring with.
Consider that until you hook it up to the car you have
much higher resale value (and you might even be able to
return an unopened box), and see whether you can find
a used copy of HPTuners for your year, or buy new.
