Got a new tuner and intake.
Ok, I've read enough on here to know the big debacle about "canned tunes". My situation is this. For my birthday my wife got me a big air/tuner kit. With this kit comes a SNB intake kit and a DiabloSport Predator tuner. I have an FX4 Screw cab w/4" lift and 35's. So my question is can i put these goodies on my truck, even with the canned tunes, and everything will run good, great, and awesome, or is it necessary to get custom tunes at this point?? Thanks in advance for the help.

Its been suggested that you will need a custom tune still. You will need a higher fuel setting with adding the S&B as from what ive been told. You can do one of two things in my opinion. Buy an a/f meter. Hook it up and find out what your ratio is stock. Then hook it up with the goodies on and check it again to verify if you're running lean or not. Or just pay for a custom tune, or 3 if you still want to be able to have different tune options.

OP:
Install intake. Install tune, when you install the tune add ~5% to the MAF curve. Datalog STFT while at idle free revving (engine at operating temp) and make sure you are within 1.05 & 0.95

DiabloSport Custom Tuning
Custom Tuning is needed whenever you add certain aftermarket products. DiabloSport Standard default tunes are designed for stock/mildly modified vehicles only.
DiabloSport understands that not every vehicle is identical and that some vehicles with certain modifications require special attention. The predator is set up to work with stock to mildly modified vehicles. Custom tuning is required for applications that exceed this. DiabloSport CMR dealers can make the tune for you.
Diablosport's large network of dealers using Chipmaster Revolution Software can dyno tune your car or truck at their location or you can also get tunes via e-mail. Your car or truck does not have to be heavily modified to benefit from custom dyno tuning. Please lookup a dealer in your area using our dealer locator.
Usually, Custom Tune is usually completed within a few days after they receive your Original Tune or request for changes (more info below). Please Contact your CMR dealer for all of your custom tuning needs. You will have to supply the tuner with your Original Tune.
The steps necessary to custom program your vehicle:
*
read your vehicle's ORIGINAL (stock) tune with the Predator
*
transfer the tune into your PC using our Windows based PC Interface
*
email it to the tuner
*
tuner will modify it per your specification
*
tuner will email the custom tune to you
*
transfer it back into your Predator using the same PC Interface
*
the last easy step is to flash-program it into your vehicle
