1995 GT (EEC-IV) post-modification pre-tune question.

First my question is what symtoms are normal issues for a motor that is out of the EEC-IV tolerance. I ask this because I have just over this last summer I pulled my tired 302 out of my 95 GT conv. and opted to up grade quite a bit during the rebuild and installation.

The new Specs/Parts are:
331 stroker with flat top pistons and a 28oz Balance.
F303 Cam.
AFR 185cc/72cc heads.
TF Track heat intake manifold.
190lph fuel pump.
30pnd injectors.

Origanally I intended on keeping the mods within the EEC-IV's tolerance. Well due to multiple facters such as the time line I was working, deals on parts, and what was on hand at the retailers I was purchasing from my plans were altered along the way . So now I get to Tune the EEC.

My question is what issues should I expect prior to the tune. I want to make sure that when I take it to be tuned that I dont have any issues other than whats expected pre-tune. Right now she starts but doesnt hold an idle longer than a few minuts then wil hunt or surg I suspect the injectors are the main cause. I have taken it on a few short drives such as a few blocks (1/4mile +/-) and around the block a few times and she runs hot but not to the point of over heating.

My main concern is I will get to the Dyno and find that there are other issues and not be able to tune.

Thanks for reading and any suggestions,
Joe

Thanks guys for your help.

Yes he cooling is stock what would be an adiquit up\grade for the cooling?

I have been over the Vacume with a fine tooth comb several times as I replaced alot of the factory tubing. No leaks there.

I replaced the Exaust with BBK shortys in the front and Borla Cat back. I had it inspected and it passed with no isssues. So the stock cats should be fine.

So these symtoms I have mentioned would Be greatly improved after tune or should I Look for other causes.

What kind of meter?

Is it caled for those 30's? No cal yet

Are the 30's OEM or Bosch inj's?They are FR issued injectors.

If your cooling is still OEM ... You can expect that kind of thing

Your making significantly more power now Any guesses on the increese?
therefore
You should expect the heat to rise a good bit

The OEM cooling system is barely adequate for the little 302
