    To put the stock tune back into the magnum you need to do the "Restore Original backup" thing. There is (or used to be) a "Stock Tune" in the performance tunes section so you could "modify parameters" on the stock tune instead of a DS tune. Just putting that one on the car won't do it (reset the predator).

    Yes... IF you first save your custom tune (I assume it's a CMR tune?) on your PC. When you do the restore original backup it will put the original tune back on the car and completely reset the predator. The predator will be just like when you got it out of the box. Well, sort of, if you updated it with any CROMs then that will remain. The Performance tunes will still be there (they're part of the CROM) but anything in the Custom Tune area and the log file will be erased.

    To get the custom tune onto your PC:
    You plug the predator into your PC with the serial cable.
    You run the DSDownloader.
    On the first screen at the bottom (I think) you can "get tune file from tool". Then it will default to the Original Backup. If you say no to that then it will get the last tune written (to the car). That should be your custom tune.

    If you already have your CMR tune on your PC then you don't have to do anything.

    There is a small chance that the Super Bee will have a different CalID than you have on the Magnum. In that case your custom tune might be toast. You'd have to ask your tuner if that's the case.
