You don't have to. You can go from any speed. I usually slow down to 40 mph on a highway and go WOT for several seconds. I also make sure traffics are clear around you. The best time would be early morning or late night and where cops cannot hide... LOL

This looks great Lew...almost like i heard it before

Thanks for all the help.

Yeah, ain't that the truth...try going WOT for a few seconds from 50mph and all of a sudden hearing the LASER warning on your V1 go off

and you notice you're at 110mph...Talk about sh**ting your pants

Luckily, they were on the other side of a divided highway

you can if you have a spot to do it... I don't, so I do it from a roll, usually when getting on the highway, and when I have some open space in front of me on the highway as well.

Actually, I do what yuimyt said:

yeah, I used to say/do that too, but that gets to be a pain. I did it the first couple of times, but since then, I just drive for a day after making changes. Then the second day I'll do a log or two...

Lew, you are freakin' awesome!!!

Very well written and easy to follow.

Mike, Johan, and everyone else at Diablosport, I hope y'all are working on a nice little thank you for Mr. 06MonteSS.

Thanks Corny!

I've been through a LOT of trial-n-error, logging, etc etc with mine, so figured I would pass on my learning experiences to make it a little easier for everyone else just starting...

This is an AWESOME post!!! I'm the proud owner of a 2006 Monte Carlo SS, fully-loaded, except mine's black. I purchased it off the lot w/12 miles on it brand new in December of '05. While I LOVE this car, I know it's capable of better performance. In researching "superchips" for my vehicle (a leftover from the V6 MonteCarlo days I guess...), I came across the Predator tuner for my model car!! WH000!! I coudn't be happier, though a bit apprehensive because, while I've been working/tuning cars for a few decades, this is my first brand-new performance car, and the ability to tune these has...well...let's just say I've been living in a cave for a while now.

Anyhow, as I'm contemplating the purchase of this Predator for my Monte (downloaded/read the manual, checked out other reviews, etc) I decide to hit these forums to see if there's any relevant info on the 2006 MC SS. The first thing I see is THIS sticky thread!!! YEEES!! I MUST be living right!!!!!!!!

So, I'm off to purchase the Predator and the PC kit!!!! Based on this thread I can't WAIT to finetune my baby for performance!!!

Looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all, maybe asking for some sage advice from those of you who know your stuff on this technology, and eternal thanks to the poster of this thread (06MonteSS) for taking the time to share such detailed methods with the rest of us, some (like me) who are definite n00bs to this technology. Good to know someone else has the identical setup as I do and that it looks like there's a spirit of helpful sharing out here!

Thanks again!
Kevin

Hi Lew!

Thanks again, and I'm VERY happy to be here!! I just now placed my order for the U7191 along with the PC kit (and have already downloaded the viewer software) so hopefully it'll be here soon (I figure a week or so as Concours Direct is in CA and I'm in OR).

Eternal thanks for the offer and I'll definitely be back with some logs and I'm sure some questions too! I really appreciate the offer Lew and can't WAIT to get on track with this tuner!! Clearly you know your stuff on this up and down, and that we have identical vehicles will be of immense benefit when it comes to question time!!

I'll be back as soon as I've got this devil in my hands!! I'm so excited I can't sit still!!!!!!

Thanks again Lew, chat soon!!
Kevin

Hey all... I'd like to get an IM list put together on my machine with you guys in it - Dan/bigpritch, harm/kevin, buff/chris, mikel/diablo, corny, daveridlen, mattvicj, bill utterback, etc etc and anyone new that comes along that would like to get in touch, ... would make for good/quick/easy contact between me/you/us... with even the ability to do a group IM chat that way if we wanted to discuss something "en masse"...

I use Trillian, so I can connect to AOL IM, Yahoo Messenger, and MSN Messenger... so if you'd like to let me know your IM screennames and what IM client you use, I can put together my "Tuning Buddies" buddy list.

you can email it to me at: diablo.help AT gmail.com

Thanks!

Hi Lew!!

Awesome idea!! I don't do the IM thing currently, but it'll give me a reason to get an account and get started.

My email is always available though, and until I find a bit of time to get setup with IM, my email is kevin AT harmfamily DOT com

Thanks man, chat soon!!!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET! I just got my Predator and threw the 91 Octane No DoD tune on my Monte.....

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

W00000000000000000000000000000000000!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, It. Tears. ASS!!!!!! Everything seems WAY more hyper! Those RPM's go up and it just pushes harder than it ever did. With the factory tune, and I always use premium gas, flooring it from a dead stop there would be a delay...a lag...a...I dunno...."...PUH!....WAAAAAAAAHH!!!" sort of effect. Like it'd cut out for a fraction of a moment and then take off. That is GONE!! Shifting seems a bit more positive (did it shut down the CAGS?) the DoD is GONE, I hear no detonation (I didn't before, but I somewhat expected to based on the documentation)!! wh0000!!!

When I tromp the gas from a dead stop it is immediately responsive, no lag whatsoever.

I can't WAIT to see how the Flowmaster Super 40's and a nice CAI give it even more juice!!

All I can say is, as it sits right now I'm extremely happy with the Predator and the tune. GREAT product so far!!!!

Oh yeah, one thing that did bug me was the documentation not including the L4 references (only the Corvette, GTO L2 stuff), like referencing the OnStar fuses and the general fuses it wants you to pull before beginning. I only found a single fuse that matched any of the specs called "Radio", a 20a fuse, which I pulled, then began per the instruction manual. I unplugged my hardwired Escort 8500 X50, the "Radio" fuse, and it worked fine...looked like the Onstar was off too.

I'm going to log some data tonight after the sun goes down and send it on over to our man Lew for a perusal...see if we can't dial it in even further, make sure it's all doing fine!

Aww yeah!!! What a GREAT product!! Can't wait to start loggin & tweakin' the tune!!

Kevin

Hey Kevin...

you only need to pull the OnStar fuse... no radio fuses.. the OnStar fuse is located in the fuse box at the passenger side kick-panel... it's the 10amp (red) fuse in the middle.... but look at your owners manual, it'll show ya...

as far as the rest of your post goes... wait until we get your fueling dialed in!!
