Default Need Help with Predator....ASAP!

Hey,

Installed the pred.
changed for 3.73s, lowered the temp the fans come on, chnaged shift firmness and quickness. Didnt change shift points, etc.

Now when I drive it with TC/AH on...sometimes for no reason TC will come on. Im barely pressing on the gas-doesnt seem like car is losing traction at all. Like its coming on for no reason. Cause I put on CCWs with 335 rears????

Second problem...I didnt change shift points, didnt think I needed to since I said I have a 3.73 in the unit.
But when I go WOT....the car hits the rev limiter and wont shift...just bounces and bounces of the limiter.

I emailed RWTD to get a custom tune but no reply yet and called the # on the site-no answer.
I didnt want to post in Scan and Tune because not as many people visit that section and really need help ASAP

Thanks

You need to adjust the shift points with those gears.

Just a thought, but with the gears + the new rear tires, it may be throwing things off a bit, especially if the tire diameter is substantially different the stock. The computer may be reading a substantial difference between fron the rear wheel speed and kick on the Active Handling. Good luck

You need a custom tune. James will call you as soon as he gets your e-mail. For the record he averages 400 e-mails a day. :cheers:

K i see....
anyone know of any shift points I could use in the meantime that will work?

Also...when using the pred to change tire size...do you just enter the factory and actual rear size and not the fronts?
