software revision on the Predator: Most recent as off 11/06/2011

I am going to be putting in a K&N cold air intake this week sometime and wasnt sure if I needed a custom tune to accept the k&n or can I run the stock tunes that came with my predator?

If I need to load any files just tell me which ones I need to load 120hp or what not?

thanks in advance.

No need for a custom tune, load the tune and go ;)

Tune is already loaded, but do I need another tune when I install the K&N? I had another predator for my 06 mustang and it had a tune I could select, firm shift k&N option or just a K&N. Just wanted to make sure I would get a error when I put the cold air intake in bc its on ac ustom tune and I am adding a aftermarket k&N intake again.

Ok thanks Mike! I just wanted to double check as I mentioned the other pedator had a option for the K&N CAI.

When would it be recommended I get a custom tune for my truck? When I start adding turbo back exaust and doing more changes? Pulleys, throttle etc.????

diesels dont require custom tunes till you go nuts with turbo kits or big injectors ;)
