When James from RWTD comes out in Dec I want to get my car retuned. Thinking about spraying the car next spring. Don't know much about tuning and stuff and could use some advice.

Should I stick with my Preadator or buy a flip chip? If so what chip should I get and how much does it cost?

If I get the flip chip should I do the following:
93 Oct tune
93 NOS tune
100 NOS tune

Thanks in advance....

I have another question??? I have a predator Revolution chip on the car now. I know you can get a switch, b/c Jon at Speedinc says it comes with one. Problem is he doesn't usually give people the flipper part of the switch b/c he says people knock it into the wrong tune all the time and he doesn't want the liability. Can I just get the switch part of the flip switch????

ARGHHH

If you want to run that many tunes you definately want a flip chip holmes.

I could just reload the tunes from the preadtor right? No need for instant changes since I don't street race. I have a lap top to bring to the track to swap them also.

Are they making some adjustment for the Preadtor to hold more tunes????

Yes you could do it exactly as you stated. Also, a future software update is supposed to allow the Predator to hold more than 1 Custom Tune (remains to be seen).

However, I think if I was a N2O user I would want a flip chip.

What am I supposed to say, give me the flip chip b/c someone else will be tuning it?? I'm keeping the tune he gave me b/c it's safe, but I don't want to hurt their feelings b/c I'm going with spray and 100 octane.


How about... "Gimmie the flip clip (and all its parts) since I paid for it." :dunno:

The Xcal2, can hold 3 custom tunes and I can switch tunes in under 2 mins.
