Question Predator Tunes

Just got my predator today. Truck is still stock. Have Tymar intake in the mail. Working on getting my guages right now. Then will get exhaust. I hate having the predator and not using it. Got a great deal to hard to pass up from someone getting rid of the 7.3 for the 6.0.

Here's my question: Would it be ok to run at least one of the programs? I really don't want to mess anything up. Please if you answer yes or no ,explain the reasoning behind the answer. Tell me what needs to be done to run each tune as far as modifications to the truck. Thanks for the help everyone.

Yes, you can run it without the gauges. If you tow, use gauges in the higher settings.

The higher the horsepower tune and the heavier the load, the hotter the exhaust. Gauges are needed to monitor exhaust temps.
