Hey guys,
New to the forum and just picked up a 91 LX notch. Had a few back in high school and really wanted another...That said car needs a tune.....or not? Car is almost undrivable under like 2k if im not in the skinny pedal. Over 3k it runs like a champ. Car almost dies every time i come to a stop, cold start runs like crap for like 30 seconds then clears and idles great. When just trying to crusie down my street in 3rd gear at 1800 rpm it bucks jumps. drop it down to 2nd and bring it over 2k its drivable.
This is whats done.
Full top end kit twisted wedge
70mm throtle bodie
30 or 35 lb injectors
High pressure fuel pump
intake and mass air
Shorty headers
full x pipe no cats with flowmasters
MSD ignition setup
Im pulling the motor in winter and probably gonna put a charger on it so i really dont want to spend $800.00 to have it tuned at a shop. I do have a Bama tuner that i can send back and get a close tune for my set-up but i know people have done the same as me and wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on what i can possibly do without a tuner to get this thing to run right...or if a tune is the only option.
Thanks in advance for the help
Eric
