    wiring up a bap?

    Wire it BEFORE the FPDM for most applications. That way you are feeding the FPDM more voltage but it and the processor are still in control of the fuel pump. If you wire it after the FPDM, then you lose some FP control and get rich spikes when the FP voltage increases. Use KB's method for...

    question about spark plug gap?

    We just today had a car on the dyno that was misfiring at higher RPMs. The plugs were brand new but we did not install them. We pulled them and gapped them at 0.035 - they were 0.055 and the problem went away. Don

    Bogging off the launch with w/ twin Focus pumps...stock GT tank related?

    Tony - I think the tank will go a long ways to fixing the problem. As far as the tuning changes go - Any SCT or Diablo dealer with knowledge of how to do this, maybe one near you, can handle the changes. I cannot open .ll3 files - no other dealer can. It's not a matter of making changes to...

    Bogging off the launch with w/ twin Focus pumps...stock GT tank related?

    You do need the Cobra tank as others have mentioned, and I would run dual FPDMs or a modified FPDM. Lastly, your tuner needs to modify the tune for that combo. Many people think you can just swap in different pumps and be done. But with any returnless system, many of the tune parameters have to...

    handheld tuner, fix p1131 code?

    Any tune whether from a handheld or a chip won't fix a mechanical problem and that's what you have. My guess is you have an exhaust leak on one side that's why it's throwing a lean code on one side. It only takes a pinpoint leak to add enough atmospheric oxygen to set a lean code. It could...

    OK pulled the spark plugs and this is what i found, should i be concerned? *PICS*

    You get that when you run octane booster... If you have not, I have no clue...

    Let's discuss widebands and datalogging options

    Innovate sponsors that site and all tests were run through on Innovate box - here is what Zbigniew, President of Zeitronix has to say about it: "Regarding the recent Fordmuscle wideband shootout. We have spoken to Mr. Mike Kojima, the author of the Fordmuscle shootout and got first hand test...

    My new 331 is hard to start when it's warm, is it the tune??

    That's very easy to fix, but you never know how far to take it in the tune. Take it too far and it'll not want to start because it is too lean. Sometimes when we are tuning a car on the dyno, it takes 4-5 reburn to fix it. Some combos are really sensitive to this for some reason. Don

    gt blower guys with cobra fuel pumps!

    I agree, lots of misinformation out there by supposedly shops 'in the know'. But the fact is the amperage rating of the pumps are different and the Ford GTs come with two FPDMs. Here are a couple of threads with a lot of good technical info on those setups...

    gt blower guys with cobra fuel pumps!

    Ford GT pumps flow LESS than the '03 Cobra pumps with a single FPDM. You need to add an additional FPDM or use a modified (MJ-Chip) FPDM to get the GT pumps to flow like they do on a Ford GT.

    Pegging the MAF?

    Not to nitpick (but here I go anyway.. LOL!) but the MAF measures air mass - in other words - weight. By doing this atmospheric pressure and temperature changes are automatically compensated. The other thing is the MAF limit from the factory is actually around 4.7v. A tune can extend that to...

    Baumannator TCS

    I hate to spam a tech thread - so if you don't mind you can check it out on our website http://www.lasotaracing.com in the mail order section or PM me. Thanks! Don

    Baumannator TCS

    It'll help. But a much easier and cheaper way to uise a 'two step process - 1) modify the valve body and 2) get a chip. The valve body mod is the "J-Mod" - http://www.tccoa.com/articles/tranny/index.html it's something you can do yourself and it's pretty cheap. Along with that get a chip from...

    Baumannator TCS

    Like BlackVert said, we've had a few on different cars, installed a few on customers cars and I'm currently running one in my Gen 1 turbo Lightning. They will work with a 94-95, you just need either a manual PCM or a chip to turn the auto functions off. The only drawback i have found is there is...

    AOD-E Rev Limiter and Wide Ratio Gear Set

    You will need a chip for the wide ratio gears ro all shifting, not just WOT will be wrong. Don

    xcal2 on an 01 cobra

    There are two models of XCal, the regular XCal that is custom tuned for your vehicle by an SCT dealer and the Xcal SF which has canned tunes in it. Appears you have the latter, which is OK to use on the other car. If it were a custom tuned one, you'd have needed another custom tune for it to...

    xcal2 on an 01 cobra

    Don't try using the '97's custom tune on the '01 - it won't be right. You need a new custom tune for the '01 - we do that all the time for people. Don

    Will low voltage cause problems?

    We see this on the dyno from time to time. That's why we always log battery volts during a pull. What happens is the voltage gets too low and the fuel pumps crap out and the car goes lean. Can also cause injector problems and ignition problems. Not to mention you have an IC pump that also is...

    TPS won't go past .96

    Like he said, 0.96 is fine. Be sure to disconnect the battery to clear the memory before starting as idle values are stored and need to be relearned. Don

    AEM information for 94-95

    Hey Paul, I've messed with a few - plus I just got one this week for my '94 Turbo Lightning. I got it (and Baumanator) for it mainly because I want to get really good with them. They all are very straightforward to me - much simpler than an EEC. Don't know when we'll put it on as we are really...
