How to apply a Praiano tune
Added 2024-11-12 16:53:58 +0000 UTChttps://www.gt-setups.cc/
How to apply a Praiano tune. First of all , check update your app the latest update.
1. Check if you own the car. Check to ensure its the correct model and year. Some cars have similarly named models. Also be aware that there might be a "Road Car" variant of a race car.
2. If you don't already own it, buy the car. Select it as current vehicle.
3. Navigate to "GT Auto" and check whether your car has wide body and compare to Praiano instructions at top of text for the tune. If Praiano tune is normal body and you have already installed wide body, then you won't be able to match the tune exactly. You need to buy the car again, because a wide body modification cannot be reversed. The same applies to a swapped engine. If Praiano tune uses the stock engine and you have already installed a swap engine in the car, then you cannot reverse this. You need to buy the car again.
4. Navigate to Garage > Car Settings and check the current settings and parts installed on your car and compare it to the Praiano tune. Pay specific attention to the engine and body mods at the bottom right of screenshot 4 of the tune that say "installed". If your car already says "installed" for these engine parts (such as "polished ports") or body changes (weight reductions and/or rigidity) and they are not installed on the Praiano tune, then you'll need to purchase a new body and/or engine or buy the car again to get it back to stock. Those installed parts cannot be removed. Check in the "Extreme" tab of the "Tuning Shop" to see whether its more cost effective to buy a new car, or replace the engine/body.
5. If Praiano's setting requires a wide body, go to "GT Auto" and install wide body.
6. If Praiano's setting requires swap engine, go to "GT Auto" and install swap engine (or find it in "Tuning Parts" in the Garage, if you already own the engine from a wheel spin prize)
7. [Optional] Navigate to Customization > Content Library and find a livery that you like. Download it and apply it to the car.
8. In Customization Parts, match the Front, Side, Rear and Wing settings to the Praiano tune description.
9. Match the Rims to Praiano's tune description, paying attention to Rim Width and Offset which could be standard or wide.
[Note: the order of steps 7, 8 and 9 matters. Every time you enter the Customization parts menu or download a new livery, the rims will reset to standard so you need to be sure to re-do steps (8) and (9) after changing any customization parts, or new livery download.
10. Exit GT Auto and navigate to Garage > Car Settings and look at the tuning sheet. Look at the permanent body parts and engine tuning parts and compare to Praiano's to see what you need to buy from the "Tuning Parts" shop.
11. Go to "Tuning Parts" and buy all tyres, tuning parts and body weight reductions including rigidity that are shown in the Praiano tune.
Take special care to install the correct gearbox (usually Racing, but sometimes Manual)
12. Go back to Garage > Car Settings and open the settings sheet. Match all the numbers to Praiano's settings sheet.
13. Check that the PP matches Praiano's setting's PP. If it doesn't, check the HP to see if it matches. If they don't match, you've missed something or done something slightly wrong. Pay attention to detail. Check the permanent parts at bottom right of sheet 4. Sometimes the discrepancy will be because you need the a High Lift Camshaft/Bore Up/Stroke up S part that is found in the "Ultimate" tab in the Tuning Shop.
14. Gearbox: To do the gearbox, set top speed to the number shown on Praiano's sheet, then go into the "Manual adjustment" section and set the final gear number, and then the individual ratios from bottom to top. Check that the speeds and ratios match Praiano's. Sometimes it will seem like the ratios won't reach high enough numbers, but due to bugs in the game, they will open up. For example if you're setting 6th gear and it say the number should be 0.851, and the highest you can get is 0.600, then move on to doing 5th gear and then 4th gear and 3rd gear. Then reopen 6th gear and you'll see that you can move the slider further right and reach higher numbers than before. Don't ask why. Its a quirk of the game.
15. Do a final PP check. If all numbers match then you're done.
Sometimes GT7 updates change PP calculations and the numbers will not match if the tune was done on an earlier GT7 version (such as 1.52). If this is the case and you need the number to fit just below a certain point like 700PP, just use the ECU or power restrictor to raise or lower the PP by the small amount necessary.

2025-08-30 20:59:42 +0000 UTCHi Praiano, could you do a tune of the Honda N-One for the 400pp K-Cup on Nordschleife? I tried to tune it and I won, but it still needs your magic touch on suspension, aero and transmission. Thanks!
Alyson Deives
2025-07-26 15:44:38 +0000 UTC😂😂 You're right. I'm sure the setup can work on the original engine. I just don't know if it can reach 700PP. I'll buy the car again to check.
Laurent Bouis
2025-06-07 15:59:36 +0000 UTCI have no doubt that this is a great tune but as a long-time BMW owner I just can't put a Suzuki motor in an E30. I wouldn't be able to slow at night.

2025-06-05 21:20:39 +0000 UTCAnyone got any tips for the lightweight K? I’m using a Swift, and it might just be me, but I keep getting a close second.. Is it harder than I think??

2025-06-05 19:10:38 +0000 UTCAll those GrB Rally cars have the same behaviors when same F-R weight balance. You can use the Subaru tune for the Toyota. Just add 74 kg ballast to reach the right PP https://www.patreon.com/posts/subaru-wrx-grb-1-122662921?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

2025-06-02 17:57:29 +0000 UTCare you going to tune the 86 GrB Rally toyota?

2025-06-02 16:29:31 +0000 UTCOk , the vantage 15 is already in my list . The '18 also is ok for Nordschleife 600PP , just regular on Tokyo (would need some + power and top speed) For the Sierra i only have the swap at 700PP , i'll check.
Laurent Bouis
2025-04-03 11:17:20 +0000 UTCHi P! Is it possible to make a 600pp setup for Sierra & Vantage '15. Thanks!

2025-04-03 05:40:02 +0000 UTCI only have a few cars with liveries designed by myself. If you'd like, I can share a link or a tag — usually "praino63." Around 10% of my cars have my own custom liveries; the rest are amazing designs made by other players.
Laurent Bouis
2025-03-27 16:18:34 +0000 UTCMaestro, I’m wondering, would it be a huge faff (extra work!) for you to include a link or details of liveries in your tunes? Possibly, yes! But on plus side, would your name on those liveries be good advertising..? Just a thought, we have overlapping tastes 😉
David
2025-03-27 09:58:55 +0000 UTCIf only for morale purposes it might be best if you were a special visit every once in a while…if I went to the basketball court and Jordan was there playing pick up it’d be awesome but if he was there showing us up every day it would be less cool 😂
Pepe Le Pew
2025-03-08 23:42:56 +0000 UTCThat’s a great idea! Feel free to share any race times, car specs, or tips here—after all, the "Community" page is meant for exactly that, not just setups. Personally, I haven’t had much time to join lobby races lately—only managing to fit in Manufacturer races when I can. Right now, I’m pretty busy working on car setups, but maybe I’ll have more time to race next month.
Laurent Bouis
2025-03-08 22:59:52 +0000 UTCIs there a regular lobby that members take part in? It’d be great to get out there and see how we all put these tunes together use.

2025-02-27 18:19:25 +0000 UTCThanks Priano for your work. About the new banner on top, i prefer the old (the three old cars). Is it conceivable to imagine his return one day? I liked him a lot!
Boss Boss
2025-02-25 22:47:58 +0000 UTCYou’re right. I’ll ask the person who created this page why it changed and how to revert it to the original version. Thank you for your feedback!

2025-02-17 09:29:11 +0000 UTCHi, not sure where else to leave this. Just wanted to voice some feedback for the subscriber who maintains gt-setups.cc. Wanted to say, I preferred the old setup where the sidebar search was static instead of sliding out. Maybe I'm missing some use case where it makes sense, but I use his site on mobile and desktop, and the static sidebar seems to make more sense in both cases. It still works with the new implementation, just feels over-engineered and a bit more clunky now.

2025-02-10 13:37:51 +0000 UTCI’m aiming for a car that’s eager but safe, allowing for long races while competing with other racers. It should be stable enough to handle being in the middle of the pack without causing too many mistakes. Extreme settings aren’t safe for you or the others on the track. I hate understeer. Masses like sane fast cars. Extreme settings can be driven in a pack only by aliens drivers . I do extremes setup for Time trial only.
Laurent Bouis
2025-02-09 02:05:20 +0000 UTCThe reason I think for them to be more understeer intensive since this wouldn’t be a specific tune for me and its more or less a tune for the masses.

2025-02-08 06:43:27 +0000 UTCBefore I join the paid membership, I love sharp, oversteery cars. When you tune the cars, what are you aiming for? I’m presuming more understeery cars since they are easier to handle. Thanks

2025-02-08 06:39:50 +0000 UTCOk. I have a RS 600PP tokyo event on the way but i'll buy another car to check the original option. I'll buy the ST also.
Laurent Bouis
2025-01-20 14:57:26 +0000 UTCHi Praiano, can you give us updated setups for Focus ST and Focus RS. A 600pp setup would be ideally for RS. Thanks in advance.

2024-11-30 12:32:18 +0000 UTCThat's been my experience. I only have a Logitech G29. I play with the controller sometimes. My difficulties have nothing to do with how the cars are tuned. Controller is easier to countersteer, and wheel is easier to control under hard braking, for example.
Scott Van Wart
2024-11-28 19:57:34 +0000 UTCJust subbed. I think $8 CAD is perfectly reasonable for how much work this must take you. If i'm not happy with the value after one month, I cancel and i've lost out on half a Mcdonald's cheeseburger. If I am happy then that means your knowledge is valuable and worth rewarding you for it. I think i'll experience the latter, your detailed explanations are exactly what i'm looking for.
George Parnell
2024-11-28 02:22:40 +0000 UTCThere are almost 400 cars completed here. How many setups can you copy and enjoy for a long, long time... for just $5? That’s 1.25 cents per car. Sorry mate, but I’ve spent a lot of time on each car , carefully tuning them one by one.
Laurent Bouis
2024-11-28 01:03:58 +0000 UTC5$ months to unlock is disappointing sorry mate
niall mcdermott
2024-11-27 23:30:18 +0000 UTCYes, these setups work on a controller (pad) as well. I’m not a specialist in driving with a controller, but there’s no reason they wouldn’t work. The balance and driving inputs remain the same. Any differences in feel can likely be corrected through controller settings in my opinions.
Laurent Bouis
2024-11-23 11:59:49 +0000 UTCi recently got back into GT7, and now have to use the joypad. So my question (before paying) is, will these setups work on the standard joypad or are they totally for wheel.. Thanks
Paul B
2024-11-23 10:59:20 +0000 UTCSorry i can't. I take all out because they are totally outdated. The only way to trace any old setup is the search button in GTPlanet. -"Name of the car" like Audi R8 LMS EVO '19 -"THIS THREAD" -Posted by "praiano63" You'll see all the list about this car. Easy.
Laurent Bouis
2024-11-22 18:59:46 +0000 UTCCan you still access your old setups from GTPLANET? I was looking for a setup but when I try to do a search it directly me to your new listing.
Gary Stevens
2024-11-22 18:47:57 +0000 UTCRegion you play has no effect on PP discrepancies. 99.9% of the time it is steps 7-9 and step 13 that is the issue. The other .1% is likely Praiano making a rare mistake on rim size and what he has listed for rims. Maybe from him forgetting to change rims after applying a different livery which can change your rim selections and chosen body parts style. I have been able to match it on those rare occasions by experimenting with the rims. Another thing not mentioned, or I missed if it was, is PP points can change slightly or drastically after each update. So if you are applying a tune from previous updates expect differences in PP and possibly how it handles in general.
Jeremy Espinosa
2024-11-22 07:43:23 +0000 UTCI try to follow step by step but it's never fit's the PP. Just wondering if your settings are for America's as my setting show Max.Power BHP not HP or Max.Torque kgfm and Weight in Kg not lbs. Most of the tunes I copy from your sheets never match mine. Just wondering if it matters???
Gunny Baumgartner
2024-11-18 11:43:53 +0000 UTCWhew I found it much better with a wheel and paddles. I still switch to automatic when playing with a controller.
Scott Van Wart
2024-11-15 20:58:32 +0000 UTCYes, I put the values wrong. I only realized after you answered.
Lucas
2024-11-13 13:30:09 +0000 UTCyou changed my life man, me who was desperate to have the desired engines via roulette. I thought the swap below wide body in gt shop was only available if I already own the engine
niklaas _41
2024-11-13 11:50:44 +0000 UTCYes. From a number of updates ago, you've been able to purchase an available engine swap in GT Auto. Below the "wide body" option
CustomX
2024-11-13 11:29:15 +0000 UTChaha ok. You said 4-6 PP. Now its only .04 PP. I get that often too. Not sure what causes it.

stratotone
2024-11-13 00:18:04 +0000 UTCwe can swap an engine even if we don't own it in our garage ?
niklaas _41
2024-11-12 23:45:48 +0000 UTCIt usually is, but these cases that I mentioned are a very small value, like from 799.92 to 799.96. In this case I have already tried several things, the wheels were my best bets but it was not the problem
Lucas
2024-11-12 23:09:51 +0000 UTCIf you digit 500PP or 550PP in the "Search post " window , you'll find a list of this kind of cars. Or try https: //www.gt-setups.cc/ There you can set 600PP , down the list you'll find 16 cars 550PP and 10 cars 500PP
Laurent Bouis
2024-11-12 19:30:08 +0000 UTCMany possibilities. Could be an S part. Could also be rims that should be reset to "standard" and not an aftermarket set of rims. Computer vs no computer. manual v racing gearbox. Sometimes the wide vs normal body makes a difference
CustomX
2024-11-12 19:02:14 +0000 UTCIt's hard trying to find 500/550pp tunes as there's no search function that I'm aware of.I use an ipad and have to scroll down in setups to find low pp tunes.
stratotone
2024-11-12 18:38:13 +0000 UTCTaking advantage of the post, sometimes my car has 4 or 6 more pp, it shouldn't change the final result much, but I'm curious to know what it is. And I look at everything several times in this case to see what's different.
Lucas
2024-11-12 18:30:34 +0000 UTCTrue. But i really feel that if someone is paying for your content they should already know this type of thing. Im paying for your content bc i know your tunes are amazing.
Night Shadow
2024-11-12 17:34:48 +0000 UTCThis is good to have as there seem to be quite a few queries on the feed about mismatched pp settings etc. Very clear and informative.
