Default custom 04 A4 Predator program

I have an 04 A4, and a predator tuner. I think Im ready to play around with the custom tune. Any ideas on where to start, or a custom program that someone is using that works well for them?

I like to run my shift pressure at +15 and my shift time at -15. Then I set my fans to come on 5 degrees cooler.

Have Fun,

At one time, my car was setup exactly the same as yours. As verified on a dyno, the optimum settings for my engine (on 91 octane, at sea level) were:
  • WOT Fuel 2K-4K = -5%
  • WOT Fuel 4K-7K = +6%
  • WOT Spark 2K-4K = +2%
  • WOT Spark 4K-7K = +7%
Note that the +/- for fuel is counter-intuitive (minus means richer).

These tweaks were performed on the stock (not "Performance") tune. HTH!

Can you elaborate just a little bit more on this? I'm curious about this predator tuner and might consider getting on to help out my A4 2.73 situation. Thanks.

just for clarification; Predator uses the phrase "Custom Tune" - not to mean that one has varied from the supplied Performance Tune.
Instead, their use of the phrase "Custom Tune" is when you are sent a customized file via the internet; you load it into your Predator, and then into your PCM. It's a file that was generated by either Diablosport or your Predator seller that has specifics to do with your car and it's unique mods.

Just to clear up any confusion (if there was any).
