I have a predator programmer, it comes from the factory with a pulley tune. I read that it is for 12-14psi. I also have flowmasters and I'm going to install a o/r H-pipe. I was thinking of a 2.93 or 3.1 pulley. Can I use the tune in my programmer? or I have been thinking of calling James at RWTD?

Any help??

Yes, you can use the "canned" tune that comes with the Predator, but just about everyone here is going to recommend you get a "custom" tune from James, Amazon, Herman, or whoever you feel comfortable with. The custom tune will really maximize the performance you're capable of getting with the new pulley.

You are going to need a custom tune because the Predator does not disable the rear 02's properly. Go for the gusto and get the 2.8 pulley too. No need to screw around.

I just changed pulleys to billetflow 2.93 w/ 4 idlers and used the box tune on the predator. The tune seems to work fine though I am going to get a custom tune asap...I think theres more performance to be had. I need to get on a dyno and check the a/f mix.

I have been hearing some mixed emotions about James so Amazon or Herman might be options. The reason I don't want to go to small is just timid of the Warrenty. The car only has about 1500 miles and I don't need the dealer voiding my warrenty already

If you pulley it, the warranty is shot. The dealer isn't going to care what size pulley is on it. Just get the 2.8, trust me.
