As mentioned, run the Diablo Tune with the best 93 octane you can get

Here are a few other things you can do with the predator.

-Raise the shift points to from 6200 to 6400 rpm
-Lower the Fan Settings for a 180 t-stat
-Use the throttle boost feature
-Engine monitoring
-Reset the transmission adaptives
uhhh, no... no tcm/tranny adjustments available via the 7191/7194 model predators for the 2005+ vettes...

no to the throttle boost - that is a dodge/chrysler-only thing... GM's don't have the issue those do / don't need it...

no tcm/tranny support, so no resetting tranny adaptives...

can't change fan temps.. only the % power that they run at, starting at 192*...

but other than that, you're spot on...

no dealer issues with your 2010 vette... as long as you "restore original backup" to the car before going to the dealer, you'll be fine...

if you're interested in a custom tune for your car/predator, hit me up
