hey guys 2 q's here

(1) what does everyone most readily use to "tune" our cars?
my A/F is around 14-15 below 2700rpm and only then it lowers to 12-12.5 n no matter what i do it stays so lean down low. How can i fix this n have it stay 12ish thru the entire rpm range??? (FPressure is at 46 to even achieve these results)

(2) whats one of the cheaper chips? but i do want one that will also allow me to turn off the egr sensor, shift-retard and such...? what else do we "tune" in or out when getting a chip?
***im in NY n ill be looking for a good tuner soon! any suggestions?
and of course how much will this set me back in $$$?

thanks:flag:

Are you trying to tune it yourself , or do you just want a chip to go in your car ? , you want close to 14.7 at light cruise and at idle , and you want 13.0 when you go wide open throttle , so from the a/f numbers you listed, you probably arent too far off as it is
 
...oh
well i always hear how lean is a:nono:and that if you are not exactly in tune you'd rather be rich than lean

i'd like a chip burnt specifically to my application because im just about done modding the car as far as major performance. I got the heads and intake that work well together and a cam to support it all. I could have gotten a better cam but this one will do for quite some time so...
yea i'd like a custom chip burnt. Additionally i dont know how to tune if my life depended on it :eek:

so do you think u have something to help me out here?

thanks for the quick responses btw!:nice:

If you are just going to run what you have and arent going to put nitrous or anything crazy like that on it , just a single tune chip would be fine

as close to 14.7 as possible is idle mixture for light cruise and idle , and for max power at wide open you should be around 12.8-13.2 ..........13.0 is usually the number everybody shoots for , if you can get it close to that you will be fine ....

most stock tunes I have seen run 12.5-11.8 range at wide open , and usually 15.5-14.2 range at idle and cruise
