Progress Thread My Kenne Bell Twin Screw'd Foxbody thread, (new addition to the family)

@90lxcoupe @RacEoHolic330 @TOOLOW91

Sorry, don't want to thread jack Scotts thread anymore than I already have.

I believe the MS plug n' play comes with a base tune that's setup for a very mild HCI (explorer intake and heads with mild cam). It should get my car in the ball park so it should cut down some time for tuning. I want to learn as much as possible so I can fine tune any changes in the future and not have to run back and keep feeding them money. The whole point of me getting the MS was to be independent of dyno tunes eventually.

If things haven't changed, I've heard MS has great technical support and lots of instructions for tweaking air and fuel tables.
 
  • Sponsors (?)


On the MS help forums, people have posted their tunes to use. Although most will be different, you could get closer than with a generic tune. I don't remember reading that they come with anything installed with regard to a tune.

I'll have to check more into other tunes that people have had success with, this could save me lots of money with the dyno tune.

I dont remember exactly what, but the base tune needed some changes on my combo, the fuel map was way off but my combo was nowhere near stock either. Did you buy the MS yet? If not look into stinger's box, if i had seen that before i bought the DIYautotune kit i would have bought it instead.

I have not bought the MS yet. I'm still exploring options and what is best for my needs and HP goals. I believe I'm also at the mercy of what the tuner is knowledgeable about. I will look into the Stinger box. Can you tell me what you liked about the Stinger more than the MS? Aren't you running Holley on your current setup? I haven't read your build thread in ages.
 
Not much progress this weekend but I did get the headers installed. I got into too much of a hurry installing the engine that I didn't do the headers at the same time. So I had to loosen the motor mounts and slide the engine over to the driver side with the hoist to get the passenger side installed. Hopefully this next week will be a little more fruitful with the weather warming up into the low 40's (high) and upper 20's (low) and I can actually not freeze in my garage while working :)


BBK ceramic coated long tubes installed! Now I need to finish wrapping my electrical and tucking them, booster installed and MC. I should be able to order my new valve covers this next week so I can get the rest of the top end finished up.

So this weekend I unwrapped most of my engine bay harness and re-wrapped it in all electrical tape twice. The look is much better and now it's more compact and will tuck easier under the firewall seam. I reconditioned my heater tube and need to clean up my fuel rail. Not much to deem worthy of picture taking but I did get some more goodies ordered from LateModel.

@90lxcoupe , just looked into that Stinger box PiMP. It was created by the same person that created MegaSquirt (Wes K.). Stinger box seems to do just as much if not more than the MS and costs nearly $150 less from what I can see. Thanks for the heads up, i'm going to read up on it some more but this looks better.

@hoopty5.0 @Boosted92LX @84Ttop @mikestang63 @TOOLOW91 @90lxcoupe or anyone else that reads this.

Got the canton valve covers in from LateModel and the baffle SUCKS!!! The self tapping screws don't even tighten down however the baffle is on pretty good to the point that I can't muscle it off. I'm still worried that since the screws aren't tightening very tight that they might back out and cause some serious damage.

My question do I need this baffle at the oil filling neck????? Should I go out and search for better screws?
 
Check out the Android Tablet shadow feature for Tuner Studio. In the video you can skip to 5min to see the tablet in action when he fires up his Vette. Looks like a fun toy.
