Smile Predator Q's

Just got my Diablo Sport Predator in, works great. Gonna play with the data logging this evening.

How do I adjust the speedo for my 30" tires?

What are the best PID's on the data logger to run?

What is the best progam to run off of the Predator? (I have no gauges)


Thanks,

WB

Get gauges first. When I played with mine. I saw how fast 1200* came. I put in a 4 inch exhaust and it helped the EGTs stay down.

Fill out your signature so we know what you have.

get GAUGES..!!!! those SHOULD HAVE BEEN your FIRST purchase..!!! having said that... i would not load more than the tow tune on your mule until you can monitor your egts.... and if have an auto tranny, add a BIG tranny cooler to your truck or that tuner could EASILY kill your tranny before it's time... you should have a tranny temp gauge too... and it is a MUST if you are gonna do ANY towing, your stock tranny temp gauge is JUNK..!!!

The gauge pod is on its way this with in a month or two, no heavy towing will be done until then.

Can I adjust for tires?

What are the most popular parameters to monitor using data logging?

No tire adjustment on the Diesel tuners. i actually like the 60hp tune best on my truck,, Seems to run the best with it over the other tunes. I also wouldnt play at all without gauges.

The nice thing about the data log, is you can monitor whatever you want to. I got curious about what the air intake temps were and the manifold air temps, so I've been running some checks on those. But, you can see just about anything that the truck has a sensor for. I'd just play around in there and see what's available. But, it can't replace gauges, since the truck doesn't have a pyro from the factory.

I prefer the 85hp setting, but DON'T do it without gauges. The dead spot is gone from the pedal and I suffer severe whiplash!!!!
