Yeah, I dont have those clouds, but an occassional puff. My richness is a combination of Cal's "cam overlap" statement and no CAT's, which is most of it. I am trying to get my predator tune to raise the idle in P/N and add timing, but for some reason he puts it in, and it doesnt work. I know there are some things when youadjust them you have to max other columns out so it only recognizes the change you made. But which one I dont know. The idle will hunt up and down in P/N, idle speed 650ish, and 16* timing, or about. But in gear, 750-800idle and 26* timing under 1200, keeps it pretty smooth,

CAT3,
Tell me more about the timing not taking. He raised my timing 2 points, but I guess I need to check and see if it is raised any. This is becoming a pain.

tuff,
It is a Predator tune. I don't think you can read it without their software. Thanks though!

Yes,each car is different.The table I posted is what I use for 224 Cams and seems to work good.Even some customers don't like it because it gets rid of 90% of the lope.

John02SS, I am going thru James @ runninwiththedevil and he is now writing tunes, where he wasnt before, but anyway. I had him adjust the idle in P/N and he wasnt shown how to do it I guess cuz although he changed a column, it did not raise my idle or timing in P/N under 1200rpms. Everything else is good. And FWIW, my friend had his car tuned with Edit this last month, timing should be no more than 26*max, and after nearly burning up another set of plugs on a 150shot, we logged the car, he was still hitting 30* at WOT. Went back to edit and looked, sure enough it was not more then 26*, and on the dyno it wouldnt get do it, but at the street and track.....look out.

CAT3,
Same story here. I got pretty frustrated with the predator tuning as my idle timing didn't seem to be adjusted either. It wasn't really James fault rather a snow ball of wrongs. Diablo had jacked it up several times and kinda had me in a bad way already. I'm taking the car to him and we are starting over. I just want it taken care of and really trying not to be an *** about it.
