Does anyone know of any companies that sell 5.0 programers for the computers?
Don't waste your money on any 5.0 tuner. They don't do anything to a NA 5.0 that you can't do with the twist of the dis or a turn of the FP.
I think a little clarification of commonly used terminology is in order.Don't waste your money on any 5.0 tuner. They don't do anything to a NA 5.0 that you can't do with the twist of the dis or a turn of the FP.
Wait, you mean the 5.0 Tuning sub-forum here on stangnet.Jason, I cant remember if you have a PMS tutorial in your sub-forum, but there is one in the 94-95 subforum in case anyone wants to peruse it.
Friday I am ordering the Tweecer RT for my Mustang.
I don't agree with the statement of just because the motor is lightly modded you don't need it tuned. I have looking into "Tuners" now for a while and looking at the things that can be changed and you need to change.
The Stock settings in the computer just are going to read the right values if things are changed, I have 24# injectors and a 76mm C&L MAF calibrated for them. According to the stock MAF the most the air that the computer thinks will flow through the MAF is 828 Kg/hr at the max and even if the C&L is changed for 24#'s that number isn't going to change, I got the flow sheets from C&L and the MAF I have will flow just about 2000 Kg/hr at the max, that's a huge difference that will make more horsepower.
I'm getting the Tweecer RT for the fact that I want to change everything and I WANT CONTROL over the computer rather than leaving it to someone else. There is a learning curve, but I mean it's not rocket science and if you will take the time to read and understand what the computer is doing it's really not that hard.
Dyno guys aren't all that bad, not sure if you had a bad experience or not. You have to find someone you trust. By the time you are done with a tuning device, data logger equipment wideband, it's what around $750? That's about 4 dyno tunes at some places.So do I think that I need the car tuned to be able to drive and have better performance? Yes, but I don't want to be at the mercy of some guy at the dyno shop that I don't know telling me what I want.
Learning a computer program isn't rocket science, if I take the time to learn the program and read as much as I can on it, I'm willing to do the trial and error to get the car running right with going to the dyno and making sure what I'm doing is right.
Scott,I am new here so ive been settin here in the background reading and trying to make some sense of the TUNE topic.So most of you guys are stating that unless i Add a supercharger or other power adder that i dont need a tuner or programmer for my ecu? I am currently building my first(i am a chevy convert) mustang its a 85 coupe converted to 89 efi 331 forged bottom end, gt40x heads, fmsf cam, gt40 tube intake, fuel pre reg, 24 # injectors, bbk 70mm tb & 75mm maf, walhbro 255 pump and a stock a9 cpu. I have a D 1 Supercharger and am pulling my parts for it together to add it to the car in the fall. Can you guys give me some advice on what i need for tuning on my car when i add the blower? I know the typical things like the bigger injectors/ maf, and throttlebody but how bout the tune/tuner program? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Scott
