I asked the same auestion a while ago and the consensus was to not switch it out. There are plenty of guys with extreme combos using the stock puter. TWEECER is very highly recommended and you would end up spending about the same for the program and an old lap top. You could do the tuning yourself anytime.

they told me if i get the pro-m piggyback addapter the swap is easy. i have a lap top and i could afford the tweecer, but i was reading gragys site about widebands being a must. those are like another 300 IIRC. could i start with the rt without the wideband. plus, now that the cars driveability issues are gone, i would like to get a few more things b4 that. gears, track tires, i need a helmet now. it appears i need a d/s saftey loop now. and im on stock suspension. so, you know what i mean. we will see

You can definately cure the hanging idle yourself, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. There are a million different things that work, starting with cleaning your MAF and ISC and resetting your computer, turning the T/B screws carb style, to editing everything with the TwEECer.

Hell, my buddy dropped an F cam in his 92 5.0 and cured the idle issues by drilling a hole in the T/B blade. There are definately ways to do it if you are determined that cost a lot less and are easier then a computer swap. Plus the A9L uses an inferior processor.

Sorry, but if he says you can't cure a hanging idle (as in the abnormally high hanging idle common with a cam swap), he does NOT know as much as you think. If he's referring to the hanging idle while rolling that is usually around 1100, then that is normal (although even that can be tuned out, but it's there to keep the car from stalling while rolling to a stop in neutral).

You don't want to "help" that. It's there on purpose to keep the car from stalling while it's rolling along in neutral. I don't know why you'd want to get rid of that.

Did you bring it to Thunder? Their roof was ripped off, thats why their dyno is down. And about switching to the Fox computer, screw that, the Tweecer will do wonders more then switching to a fox computer.

You only need one and no. You could go to a dyno witha wideband and use theres for the major stuff(usually its like 60 for 3 pulls with a/f). A wideband is like $279 though and well worth it.

You can get an LC-1 wideband on eBay for $199 shipped brand new.

Do not use the fox pcm our puters are much faster then them. Ask the guys on southfloridastangs.net where to get a great dynotune. I spoke with the moderator frtladerdalegt(sp?) and he spoke highly of Billet Specialties and a few other places near you. .02

I also recomend Billet Specialties, Thunder is also a pretty good place. Make sure you stay away from Razors Edge though.
