New to the tuning world....

Hey everyone, i'm new to this tunning thing and I have some questions. I have been looking into the diffrent type of handhelds available, and so far my favorite is the Diablo Predator. But my car is emmisions free, I have no EGR, no Cats, and off road headers. Of course my SES light is on but will the Predator get rid of this? Its time to do a tune-up and get my A/F were it needs to be. So what does everyone have to say?
thanks for any help or comments...

the predator can get rid of the codes that are thrown, but you will need to have a custome tune made. The predator can be a good tool if you dont have a laptop and are on a limited budget

If you can actually get the custom tune done.

Sounds like you may want more control over the PCM than the predator can give you... as mentioned, if you have a laptop (or even get a cheap one off ebay or something) HP Tuners would probably be a better solution for it... it gives you complete control of the PCM ... it's just a higher learning curve ... but there are lots of answers in this section.
