Default Custom tune question.

I'm going for a dyno tune next week and want to know if I can leave the predator tune in there? I'm concerned that if I try to go back to stock with the Predator I could end up with a program error and dead car with no support from the vendor. Anyone have a dyno tune with Predator in there?

I personally would put the stock tune back in before going to a tuner. Depending on the software they use (HPTuners, LS2edit, etc), if likely won't make a difference. Make sure they keep (or give you) a copy of the tune before they change it.

Thanks David.So if I can't locate the stock tune, it should NOT get in the way of what they're going to do....correct?

If the tune from scratch, it won't be a problem. If they make assumptions and tune from where you currently are, I guess it could hurt things.

I'm not sure how much tuning of VE tables and spark tables that most tuners do. I would just tell them what you've done, and hope they know what to do from their.

I personally think it's always nice to have an OEM tune handy. Be it an emmisions trip, dealer visit, or a new owner.....
