If the occasion arises for it, they just let it fly so the intended recipient understands the message clearly. I also don’t waste what little free time I have chatting online. When needed I do use and recognize the simple ones to express emotion such as LOL and OMG which I assume means Oh My God. Why F***ing is inserted into everything is beyond me. Again I would point to a limited vocabulary where other non-profane words of expression can’t be readily accessed or understood by the audience. In the case of OMFG, I see no point in using that in a conversation with anyone. I also have little time for games but from what I’ve seen Halo is awesome! Then again, is awesome still used?
No problem...the butchery of the English language is so rampant these days internet slang butchery doesn't even matter .

Taz-

I read/skimmed/ran through your tunes and log, make sure you get the Torque Management dialed out, and there's some tuning to be done in the fuel trim/power enrichment area. Also, log TPS (throttle position sensor, I didn't see it?) so you can tune for maximum performance when then throttle is open. AFAIK, the highest I've seen a ls4 throttle body open is 90%.

crank the piston protection, and turn off the cat over temp. use the smoothing tool on the timing tables. this will reduce the chance of knock. remember, baby steps here, nothing big unless you know exactly what you're doing.

It's mentioned in Diablo's forum! BUT you lose your stock tune cause it replaced the HP Tune with the stock one. So you better save your stock tune some where first.

correct...

be sure to save your current, real stock/OEM original backup to your PC first..

then you have to restore your original tune to your car, so the predator is unlocked and like new.

once your predator is unlocked and like new, and the HP Tune is in your car, you can hook it up and go to install a diablo tune.. it'll backup the HP Tune as your original backup, then install the diablo tune.

OR

if your predator is already still locked to your car and the HP Tune is in your car, you can go into Custom Tune > Read Extra Tune

the "Extra Tune" is whatever tune is currently in your car.

then you can go to your PC and go to Custom Tune > Export Tune > Export Extra Tune... start that, fire up the GMLS2InterfaceInstaller app, click the "get file" button, give the file a name and pick it's location to save to, then it will save that "extra tune" to your PC.

then to use it, you would just import it back into the predator as a custom tune.

Ok, so I have some stuff done, but I am still looking for a good way for 3-1 and 4-2 shifts, Full Throttle Speed and where to set the RPM Full Throttle Shift. Also, what would you guys say about setting the TQ management? Here is the file I am working on.

NM, cant upload a 2.2mb file on here. Can I send it to you Nacho or Area?
