as far as someone with a hypertech, they cant do it....hypertech tuning can only be used on one car at a time. the programmer registers VIN info and locks out all tuning options on a different vin unless the kast vehicle was brought completely back to stock first....its impossible to have tuning in 2 cars at the same time with one unit....you need to find someone with LS1 edit. im not sure if a predator is like the hypertech or not so i couldnt say on that one....IMO your best bet is to grab a used hypertech off Ebay or something, they go for like a hundred bucks or so usually.

Is this unique to Camaros? I have a 98 TA with the 235s and have been up to around 140. I'm the second owner, bought it with 14k miles, so it's possible whoever owned it first did something, but I thought it was bone stock. I'll have to get it dynoed.

The reason I think I have 235s is because I vaguely remember reading the sidewall.

.the reason mine has the limiter is it came with OEM 235's and the previous owner put on the z rated tires but never removed the limiter.
