tuning

As a fellow vintage MUSTANG-ER, I wanted to share this conversation I had with a professional engine builder as I thought is was helpful for me and maybe would be for any of you out there. Feel free to chime in with your own ideas/comments or just take in the knowledge. Cheers! First my...

I have an '07 V6 Mustang with a Shaker 500. I can get the FM radio to "Seek" to next strongest signal, but actually want to tune the radio to a DEAD frequency, for a bluetooth FM transmitter gadget I plugged in. Seek (by design) skips over these dead frequencies, and I cannot find in the...

So, curious to know what other have experienced with an O2 sensor (wideband AFR gauge) on the classics (65-68) I have a 302/4 speed top loader/Tri-Y's/ and will be installing just after the collector on the passenger bank. I purchased the (AEM 30-0300 kit) - I'm curious to know how/where others...

Anyone heard of Rica Tuning? I am considering tuning my EcoBoost and recently came across their web site: Chiptuning | Rica Engineering Chiptuning Their Stage 1 and Stage 2 tuning programs seem to add significant hp and torque: Stage 1: 356 hp @ 5745 rpm (+39 hp) 510 Nm @ 2900 rpm (+78 Nm)...

Hey guys. A little background: I currently drive a 2007 Mustang V6, which I've had since 2009. The CAI / tune in question has been on the car since 2012-2013. Awhile back I had my car in the shop getting a fan replaced. No big deal, and I informed them that the car had a custom tune and not...

Recently, I bought a Quick Fuel 680 HR vacuum secondary carburetor, and being a Quick Fuel, it is almost fully tunable. Yeah, 680 might be a bit big, but I like to rev high, and some extra tuning can get things to work well down low. I have used both an Edelbrock 1406 and a Holley 570 Street...

Hello everyone, im new to this site and looking forward to some great info. I have a 89 Mustang Gt, 5spd. Just got the car a couple weeks ago and it feels way way under powered for what it has in it. The guy told me he never had it tuned since he built it, but the MAF/injectors/throttle body...

It takes less than 15 minutes and makes a world of difference. This is at 61,000 miles; my 2006 GT was more than twice as bad at 100k. I just use carburetor/throttle body cleaner and sacrifice an old soft bristle tooth brush. It helps with throttle response and taking out hesitation in the...

I just ordered my Cat delete maps from Bama and I have read about the Ghost Cam tune they offer so I had them send me one. Has anyone played around with the Ghost cam tune? I have watched a few videos and the tune makes the car sound pissed off at idle. I do not think I will run it much. I think...

hey guys i just bought a 07 mustang gt and it has bbk long tube headers on it with an x pipe. the oxygen sensors are going crazy because of the headers and setting all kinds of codes. my question is if i install a cold air intake and a tune will this take care of the check engine light and the...

i recently bought a 07 mustang and it has bbk long tube headers installed. the oxygen sensors are going crazy and throwing all kinds of codes. the car doesnt run terrible but you can tell it needs a tune and cold air intake. my question is if i install a tune and cold air intake will this turn...

So my brother gave me his SCT live wire "tuner" I'm not sure of the technical term. The question is can I tune my car for 93 octane with it, since that's all I run, and would it be worth taking to a dyno shop if I couldn't do it at home?

Hey guys, I got a rebuilt 302 with a 1850 - 3 holley carburetor that came with the car when i bought it. (before the engine was rebuilt). I'm having trouble tuning this carburetor. I have read a few threads and they say that these carburetors are only for specific types of engines, does this...

I have just purchased a SCT SF3 handheld tuned for my 96GT as I'm getting rid of the cats and need to stop the O2 sensor engine codes. I have a couple of questions, firstly as mine is a 1996 do I have to disconnect the battery after I tune it? Both terminals or just one? Also I've looked into...

If I had a Mustang GT 4,6L v8 from 2006 (about 300 bhp stock) what would I need to get it up to about 400-450 Bhp? Is it possible to make it run without to much maintenence and issues? (Like a stock car would) (I was thinking super charger, but as much as I like power, I like sound and I...

So I bought my first mustang and it is a 1998 mustang cobra. The speedometer is completely off and it says im going about 100 when im only doing about 65 on the highway. I have found out that there is either a performance chip or a downloaded program in the ECU. There is also 4:10 gears in the...

Hey guys, Im having some issues with my 09 v6 and tuning it. I have found that after I run a tune (or even return it to stock) that it has some terrible idle surges for a bit after the tune. It seems to be the worst when coasting in neutral. I mean the car goes crazy, 1000-3000rpm jumps...

We all know about how when the Boss 302 Mustang came back for 2012 it was created to beat the BMW M3 around Laguna Seca. The go-fast goodies on the Boss 302, like the chassis brace that replaces the rear-seat, make it a very special machine. That particular part is now available to the public...

I just rebuilt my carb, autolite 1100, and now have a problem. When I ease on the gas, all is well and I can go to high rpm. From a stop, if I try to romp or just give it a quick tap, it stumbles and dies. A little more info: my accelerator pump was squirting gas with the rebuild so I...

I took off my cats and i herd if i tune the car and remove the rear o2 sensors i can pass emmisions. im just curius if this is true or not...i live in ct
