Predator and tire size question...

I realize this may be the wrong forum to post this but so many of you also run the predator I figure one of you would know.

If I install a Predator tune and I dont have stock tire size is there something I need to do? I did have my dealer recalibrate my truck for the tires I have (35's) does the Predator tune need to be adjusted as well?

You're good...no tire size adjustment can be made in the Predator. The only adjustment the Predator will have to make is burning those 35's a split-second later than it would the stock tires!

And other than that...
the predator will recover the lost "snap" from putting the larger tires on...

that's why it's called the "predator grin"

So does that mean that my speedo will be off with the Predator tune? or will it pick up the calibration from the stock flash?? I guess I can get out my gps and check it.

thanks
