EEC IV Tuning

[budderigs]

now you are just wasting money. spin it as hard as you can then get it tuned. its not a turbo you will not have to make any adjustments. just drive the fucking thing.

That's exactly what I am doing, I just want to have something installed that I can use to log data and make changes later if I need to.

Pulley is ordered btw, I put a larger crank pulley on a few hours ago so the new blower pulley won't slip like a bitch. (I have a larger accessory set from a Mark VII)

Instead of making a bunch of stupid small changes next time, just go bigger with the next step and it'll delay the next tune until you have all of the parts to make it worth it.

Put your smaller pulley and whatever else you want on it and then bring it in for one tune.

agreed, have it tuned. or dont, I dont for see you out growing anything.

I have an itch to start going though stuff all of a sudden, it could turn out bad

I do want something that I can watch and tune myself as needed.

i would not get a $1200 tuner for that motor.

And in comes Mr. Buzzkill

take note this system is ment for a boosted engine. and costs over 1200 to start out with. I think it would be best to save 500 bucks and have it tuned. unless you plan on playing with the settings daily.

You see me growing into this eventually dont you What about something smaller for now?

Think, I guess I didnt look hard enough, I will dig further

[budderigs]

that does piggy back. and so does the pms.

[RNSF]

Its nice, but I was hoping to keep the factory harness for now, something that piggy backs on the Ford EEC would be better.

[bluchev]

i hear theses work decent.

[RNSF]

So anyway, its time, I need a chip before I take this pig to the dyno to see where I am at in a few weeks. Things are starting to change at a rapid pace and I am quickly outgrowing the factory tune, not to mention its only a matter of time before that FMU fails under WOT and I get to change head gaskets (btw, its about an hour to get the valve covers off now )

I am looking for the best options, needs to be somewhat user friendly and powerful. I was thinking about either the QuarterHorse or a Tweecer R/T but I am open to other options.

IT MUST be tunable in real time, real time readouts and have data logging. A tune selector switch would be nice, but not necessary. Cost is a limited factor, but something in the reasonable range is good.

Thoughts?
