car purchased with tune already installed

I bought an 07 mustang with a vortech supercharger already installed - but no predator. the traction control is turned off, and after trying to get through emissions it appears the rear o2 sensors are " tuned out" in a not ready state. what are my options here? with the supercharger installed im hesitant to factory reset the ecu to start over. can I use a new predator to read the tune installed?

thanks - Mike

you can look into a new tune, or post the tune here and we'll see if we can re-enable the emissions devices, assuming the car has cats in place.

So a new predator will read the installed tune with no issues? I don't yet have one - the previous owner forgot to include it in the trade-in. The car is running great - just have to get past the NJ emissions thing... Cats are both there, passed visual inspection.

Thanks for the quick reply.

No, you will not likely find a new Predator, but an intune will allow you to get it back to stock so it can be retuned.

Thanks

here is the tune I pulled from the car - could someone tell me if the emissions is turned off, please?

good news is - I contacted Collingdale performance and am setting up a dyno tune to get all the bugs worked out within the next couple weeks. Paul sounds like he knows what he is doing - cant wait to see what I can wring out of this stang before I start adding anything else!
