| It just plugs in. You might need a software update. Did you try plugging it in yet? |

| Pre-set tunes are loaded to the predator, pretty difficult to mess up. If you do need an update, and your computer friendly, you will be good. |

| It is easy. Just make sure you have all your doors closed and turn everything off in your car when you are doing the tune. You dont want any interference with power while your predator is writing. |

| The first thing that you will want to do is save your original tune to a cd. If you don't and the tuner goes bad .....your screwed. |

| from a fellow 3.5er over here.... the predator is easy as 1 2 3.... just plug it in to the OBDII port thats on the driverside under the steering column... and follow the on screen instructions. I would suggest adjusting the tire size in the predator, also getting a cold air intake if nothing else. But i don't have anything performance mods besides the predator just yet, and I tell you, its one of the best things you can do. |

| which ever tune is for the gas you've been running. i use 89 gas and run the 89 tune. there is a noticable difference in how the car responds. |

| Make sure you do the regular 89 tune, not the 89cai tune. Then if you ever get a cai then you can install the 89cai tune.

You can "run" any tune you want. The Predator doesn't know what mods you have. The recomended mods specific to the tune are there for a reason. It would probably run better on the 89 regular tune. Your probably just wasting more fuel w/o the mods. It's like all of the people running in Dyno Mode thinking that it is a good idea. I would just run the tune for what you have. just saying. |
