Default another predator question

i got an email tune from runningwiththedevil.com and installed it in my predator....question is, do i still have the original predator performance tune AND the email tune or does the email tune overwrite the predator performance tune....

2nd part, if i still have both tunes in there (email and performance tune) how do i select either one...

thanks
Jack

on my Predator model (1999-2003) you can't have two "tunes" stored. It's always the original file - and the Preformance tune (or a custom one - that now becomes your new "performance tune")

Default program


Each time you change something it writes over the installed program.
You can not have two different in your cars pcm. You could have
diffent set ups in your pred. maybe? Not sure you would have to
ask the tuner. I use the Vinci and it has different cam profiles
you can choose from, which in turn changes the tune., ie more
timing and fuel ect.

Should.

I have every tune James ever sent me on the hard drive of my laptop.

I can simply select one upload it into the Predator and from there to my car's PCM.
