from what I hear the predator tune is the way to go with the goat

A predator can tune for headers and intake but doesn't have enough capabilities to tune for a cam. You're better off getting a pro tune or buying HP Tuners or EFI live if you want to tune it on your own.

Save your money, I have used the predator and my tuner unlocked quite abit more power. This was of course when i had your type mods. A good dyno tune is hard to beat.

i would go for the dyno tune personally

x4 on the dyno tune. Tuning for the cam is going to take more than a handheld programmer can do, especially if you don't want to leave a bunch of power on the table.

x5 on the dyno tune. You can a get a good dyno tune for the price of a handheld and it be much better and you will know what your car puts down. And I would just wait till you get the cam in and take it to get tuned.

Headers are hard to program with a Predator, but a cam is almost impossible. Get a pro dyno tune.

you should go with ls1 edit or hp tuners man.

The SLP Predator is about the best hand-held for the GTO, and offers a pretty damn good header tune. If you have the money, get one now, and then get a dyno tune latter after the rest of your mods. You can save custom tunes to the hand-held, and modify them as needed. Don't waste your money on the SuperChips tuner. We tested one at the track about a month ago and actually went slower with it on.

LS1 edit as if anyone uses that crap anymore.

EFI LIVE is the most powerful tuning suite on the market and HPTuners aint too bad either. Those are the only two worth even considering.

SLP Predator is a good, ok choice for the mean time. Personally if I were you; as well as coming from experience go and get an actual dyno tune from a known or reputable shop. Then you can go back for your cam whenever you get it and it'll be most likely cheaper. Plus that specfic tuner know's your car and doesn't have to re-write a tune from scratch. They modify with you bolt on tune. Just easier also.

An actual dyno tune will tell you everything, need or want to know in regards to tune; car, power, timing and air to fuel ratio. Etc...

Also with any problems that may occur.

In my opinion, as well in the long run, it's worth it.

My c5 and my camaro are both tuned with ls1edit, works just fine.

A carburettor works just fine too.. Think about it.

6x on dyno tune Can get your RWHP before and after. With Handheld Tuner you can't tell what RWHP just guess LOL!

I would buy HP Tuners and Wideband O2. You can tune it yourself.
