Default Crane tuner setting question

To get the most HP out of the tuner what settings should it be on? I know I would put it on high performance stock cam, but should I bump the timing setting up to 5 or 10% to get more HP or should I just leave it alone?

I dont really know if the timing would yield me more HP so I want to ask the question here to find someone who knows... Thanks

you get the most performance out of it by trying different settings until you get the desired effect. there isn't any one setting that automatically gives you the most.

also, spending some time on a dyno will aide you in achieving the desired results.

Cam Performance 1
Up the timing.
If too much fuel aka black smoke reduce the PE some.

Worked for me cause carrying around a laptop all the time sucks and the EFI Live package I paid for STILL haven't come out with stand alone flashing.

I have a stock cam in my car, wouldnt cam performance one make everything way off?? When I did have it on high performance stock cam and I put the spark advance at 10% there was black smoke coming out around 5K rpm

You mean PE (Power enrichment) as in the spark advance correct?
