Me? Well I havnt even sceduled the dyno yet . I work 12hours a day and when I get off, there is no time. Im going to call sunday or monday. #s will be off, as this will be a mustang dyno. If I do video I dont have anyone to host it, and it would take forever for me to email it LOL..... The car kinda sounds *funny*, misses worse than it used to also...so I think I am needing a tune BAD. I am getting a little nervous.

No he tuned it with the 87 not knowing that the 93 wasnt in the tank lol.He said if i pick up any parts in the near future come back in for a retune and the numbers should be much better then. ...So im nosing around at an accufab plenum and tb combo hehehe

What was it making before the cams? Got plots of pre- and post-cams overlaid for comparison?
