Best tuning software for 1996 Mustang GT

[tvsn95]

I have a wideband in the car and with those Bama tunes, I don't like what I see. What program do you use for tuning?

I use Binary Editor, from Core tuning. Support is good.
I also use a quarterhorse from Moates. you can watch real time and make changes while running , then save.
Adam with Pops help with the questions, I am Chasing a MAF problem now with Adams help.

94mm seems like its too much. do you run a carb style manifold? ive got the vic jr manifold too, but use a 72 or 75mm tb. will knows for certain. he and josef also do a lot of tuning stuff on their own cars so theyre probably a good resource

I will agree the throttle body is a touch big but my friend had it and the price was right lol

Real time adjustment would be great. I think I will have to look into QuarterHorse and Binary Editor. Thanks

If you want a better option than Bama but still use what you have let me know and I can fix you up

Hey man. Doing a 3v swap in my 96 and am trying to figure out what I need to tune it. I wanna do at home tuning on stock ecu

 

[tvsn95]

take PWNY advice,,,,Adam is top shelf, and he don't break things...... remember you can't tune it broke.
God knows I know this LOL

So I’m looking into it. Which package should I be looking for. And what is the quarter horse

 

[tvsn95]

the quarterhorse is a piggy back that plugs into the J port. I it allows you to talk to the ECU. after ( in Real Time) you adjust the programing .... you burn a chip and then plug that into the Jport. your is tune is now good,,,, and the ECU is still stock.
Call Adam. tell him Tony recommended you to him.
Fact is this is OLD tech. the other fact is Adam wrote / invented most of it. Warning,,,,,he is from NY. and he might go NewYoryk'y on ya LOL.
This is what I use and I can't say enough about the service/Quality

Are the quarter horse chips even available anymore? Craig moates retired almost 2 years ago.

thats a good question,,, talked to Adam earlerir today,,, might be using something diff.. You need to talk to Adam.
This guy is genius at this stuff .
I know I am reflashing my old chip these days.
This guy is a 96, so he may be able to Mongoose reflash his ECU, that WAY simpler than all the chip stuff anyway.
in any case Adam with POP's is the guy

 

[tvsn95]

FYI
talked with Adam,, he has fresh stock on Quarterhorse. So yeah they are still available. he has burnable chips also if that's the way you want to go ( my preference). Don't misunderstand, He does NOT do canned tunes.

I would go ms3pro pnp with out question . My old car ages ago was on the quarter horse .

I use Binary editor,, it,s what Pop's uses,, hell he wrote it back in the day. Good guy, and not too far from you.

I've been looking into some kind of long-term solution that's got the most flexibility. Ms3propnp looks great for my 96gt/5spd, but what do people with autos do? Is QH still the better option then? Buying a $1200 pcm then having to buy a $700 trans controller has to be a bit much for a lot of people.

Terminator x max I think is probably your main option .

I looked, according to holleys website only the $3200 dominator kit can run a aode/4r70w. It's kind of amazing what seems like a huge market is completely SOL. I've not really looked into it in quite a few years, but with a 86gt/5.0/aod, my 96gt, and a pile of modular engines and transmissions, if something goes I want to find out what options I can have without dropping my life savings into it.

Nope that’s not true . Go look again the x max supports Aode and the 4r70w. https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_injection/harnesses/parts/558-471

I’m very familiar with Holleys capabilities and clearly know how to read . Not trying to be a dick here but majority of people that run into Holley issues don’t read everything in detail . I’ve got the fancy dominator and a terminator x so I know what they offer .

 

[ttocs]

yea the price sucks I know, but I would get them while you still can it is only a matter of time before the epa cracks down on these self done kits like they are doing to the dealers. It seems like a big market but there are so many people just willing to slap a carb on it rather than learn the new tech that they are just not huge sellers.

 

[Musturd]

Agreed . Seems like a lot of money until you’re paying 700 dollars to tune a garbage factory ecu with zero safety’s besides a check engine light lol .

it is annoying the first time, but then of course you want to make some changes, the 2nd trip is not any better. Thank you sir may I have another.....
