computer question

[i_love_my_stang]

hey guys when i do a h/c/i do i need to get it tuned, could i drive it untuned? it would probably run like crap but i want to know if i could drive it for a few days b4hand? thanks

 

[screech]

wouldnt see why you couldnt. not like your boosting or anything. If your interested in tuning and such I would reccomend a product line called megasquirt. Running that on my 4runner and love it. have my pos toughbook in the truck, if I want more power I just switch over to a different fuel profile. Like a tweecer system, just cheaper.

ya o've herd from people that the 94 computer doesnt like different cams

you'll be fine without a tune i ran my car for 4 months without a tune. sure it wasn't running superduper but it got the job done but it won't be at its best.

You'd be fine. Unless your PCM is going ape shit over the cam, get a tune when you want.

I chose to tune because I wanted the most out of my combo.

alright cool, just checking cuz im 3 hours away from any shop with a dyno and i dont want to tow or coast it down lol

should be okay sn95's ar sometimes sketchy with cams. i never got mine tned and idled veddy niccce

 

[i_love_my_stang]

cool, im still not %100 sure which cam im going with for my combo still need to do some research, but thats not till next winter.... its almost drivable

I ran my 347 without a tune with no issues

the SN computers only struggle when people half ass the job and don't fix the existing problems... then they blame it on the cam and ECM

The SN95 pcm has issues with Vaccum. If the Vaccum on the cam is wild, the pcm tries to catch up with the vaccum which is why the idle goes nuts.

its not going to be to wild of a cam, im going with GT40X heads 64cc still not sure on which size roller rockers im going to use though maybe a 1.7 if they will fit

Depends on the cam you choose...I would research what cam works well with those heads, and go from there.

The TFS Stage 1 is a great cam, as well as the Crane 2031. Even the E cam is a good cam....the profile is damn close to what a TFS Stage 1 is.

 

[i_love_my_stang]

ya i've been thinking either the e cam or a crane cam

 

[Addermk2]

why so mild?

why so mild?

What would you suggest for a daily driven, street driven Mustang?

 

[i_love_my_stang]

ya its pretty much my DD in the summer i've still yet to take it to the track, i just want something thats gonna give me some nice power so i can waste most things on the road, but also that i can cruiz the highway at 120km and drive on the street no problem

 

[Addermk2]

my 347 has very good street manners.. the only thing that makes me NOT want to drive it often is the manual steering

I just think you can do MUCH better than the craptastic E-cam and other FMS cams

I have seen an E-cam in a blown, TW headed 89 GT make 570rwhp.

You don't like the TFS Stage 1 cam?

 

[Addermk2]

and ive seen a blown, stock engined gt make 450rwhp... whats your point
