Default Timing, WOT Fuel Question

I have a 2002 Mustang GT, and i resently purchased a diablo sport predator to get rid of that annoying MIL light due to the off road x pipe i got. i went with the predator after i had the chip because i dont now want to deal with the reburning of chips when i got my xpipe and my future gear swap. Any how my quesion is... first of all what is the safest and highest RPM to set a rev limiter at i really dont wanna change it i am just curious, and then my other question is, i want to advance the ignition timing on my car what should i change it too... and what should i change the WOT Fuel too. Please let me know
Thanks for time

I would not raise the rev limiter at all. If anything I would lower it, there's no need to run a GT motor any harder than 5800 RPM's since the power really tapers off after 5500 in most cases.

Disabling the 2 rear O2 sensors is commonly done with cars using offroad x or h pipes. Many of these units still have bungs to receive the front 2 sensors - although often with the need for an extension harness ($29 or so each). I don't think you get any performance advantage on late model cars by totally bypassing all 4 sensors - in fact, my suspicion is that it might result in less driveability/fuel economy/etc.

Lots of Diablo and SCT owners go to o/r pipes, but most the guys I know kept the front 2 sensors and disabled the back 2. (I live in an inspection required area, so I'll be keeping the cats and front 2 sensors on my 02 GT).

As for the rev limiter, leave it alone or reduce the number. Same with the top speed setting, unless you upgrade your tires (factory setting is based on the speed rating of your tires). If you plan to run over 150mph or so (usually a ZR tire rating), tires will be just one of the items you'll be changing, of course...
