Well instead of getting a custom burnt chip and dyno tune i was thinking of getting tweecer rt and tunning it myself. I have some questions though, can u tune the settings to get the car to idel correct with my cam and set up. I think my ect is causing the ideal problem i dont know for sure no c/e light but when i turn the switch the temperture reads high on the gauge, Also what is the comparison between custom tune and tweecer. I also wanted tweecer to help out my friends and tune there cars for them(make some extra cash).


Any opinions are welcome

Thanks
Nick

I don't know alot about tweecers but I don't think you can do your friends. Like I said I could be wrong but I think the tweecer only works when its plugged in. I don't think the changes are permenant.

First of all most people, including myself are not pros when it comes to tunning. A chip is good and with a well respected tuner it will do wonders for you. A Tweecer would be good for beginners and I look at it as a way to gain knowlege. Go Tweecer if you want to do your own work and learn a lot, but if you do not want to mess with it then go chip. BTW "crock", chips are the same way, unlpug them and you have stock settings, kinda hince the name CHIP.

Oops, I read alittle fast. I am sure you can get a extra chip device from tweecer to have more then one tune, hint more then one car. I would be wrong, but its a thout.

crock is right. it can only work on one car at a time. it does not reprogram the computer, it just overrides the tables the computer uses to make its decisions.

i have one, and even though i haven't had time yet to install it i am confident that with it i will be able to make better power, better gas mileage, and adjust for future upgrades like mass air and injectors.

since the o2 sensors are "narrow band", it will be hard to get the air/fuel mixture perfect. after i get comfortable with it, i am planning on doing a couple of sessions on a dyno, primarily for the wide band o2 readings.

Ummm yeah... Yellow 95 stang- The Tweecer is definetely not for begginers # 1. Secondly you will learn a lot, in fact probably to much!! I have had the tweecer for about 10 months now. You can change EVERY single aspect of your cars computer, just like any pro can. The down side of the tweecer is simply that it gives you too much control. You have to know what your doing to use it effectively. However, just plugging it in with a base tune is a huge difference as far as idle quality and drivability goes. To keep a long story short, Tweecer has it's own forums with answers to any questions in the world about stang computers you may have. If you take the time you can do anything with the tweecer. If you don' t want to take the time you can use other peoples tunes that they post on the forums.
As far as tuning other peoples cars, NO good. The tweecer piggy backs your computer and needs to stay there. So whatever car you put it in is where it stays. You can take it out and put it in many other Fords, but your car will revert back to stock settings. Also, it has 4 tuning positions---YOu can load up to 4 different tunes and just by turning a knob...your in another tune. For example, 1 tune for all motor performance, 1 tune for lets' say nitrous, 1 for Fuel economy, and so on. I hope this clears up a few things for you. If you have any more questions let me know.
