08'corvette c6 - need good tunner - predator U7194

Post by tavo11358 »

my 08 vette has corsa xtreme exhaust system, corsa X pipe and halltech cold air intake.
i tihnk my new predator needs to be tune with all this upgrades i did on my car, but i guess i need a good tunner , and all the cmr dealers near by (few) dont have any idea. if there is no way to be able to tune my car the way is upgraded with all those aftermarket parts, what is the point to have this predator?, it will be better to go to a dyno tunner and paid $299 instead.
Can someone help on this?
thanks in advance.

You should be able to dial in your 08 Vette, with the Predator, although it may take a custom tune for satisfactory part throttle AFR results.
Either way, you will need to go to a good dyno shop to get your car tuned. Have them monitor part throttle operation, at various engine loads, using the Predator to monitor the actual fuel trim values. Get them to record your baseline full throttle AFR values, and see if the Predator can add enough fuel to correct any issues.
The Predator is a good tuning tool. Any competant dyno shop, that has the GM CMR software, will be able to custom calibrate the Predator to suit your needs.
If you decide to get rid of your Predator, and use another tuning software (such as HP Tuner), you will still need to schedule a dyno session, and have your car properly calibrated.
Based on our experience, with similar mods to 08 Corvettes, the Predator should be able to tune your car without any problems.
Find a good dyno shop, that has a clue about the late-model C6's, and your car will ROCK!
Good luck!

do some data logging and get your fueling adjusted so that your average ltft's are in the 0 to -2 range...
