Bought Diablo Predator Tuner - Need help
I just bought this for my 1999 Z28, but it has setting for the shift points and rev limiter and other stuff.
Can anyone give me a good set of data to use for my 1999 Z28.
(Shift points MPH and RPM's and shift rev limiter)
I have not tried it yet, but read the manual, do you have to program at
which RPM or MPH each gear shifts?
How about the rev limiter, what should that be set to?
Now the car has SLP intake, SLP exhaust (not loudmouth) and 3.73 gears.
They claim this tuner can be used for performance gains, but other that
resetting for the 3.73 gears, I am not sure where the performance gain comes from.
Thanks

You'll have to use a gear/rpm calculator for that

Yes each shift is seperate. You might want to shift 1-2 at 6000 and 2-3 at 6150. It will take some playing to find out what your car likes. But the MPH has to match the rpm.
How about the rev limiter, what should that be set to?
Stock valve train 6190-6200

It comes from loading the performance tune that's in the programmer. Then if that doesn't work well you can get e-mail tunes from various sources depending upon where you bought it.
