Subject: Re: Just thinkin' and what-if'n by rklessdriver on 2012/2/12 3:06:27 If you want a tried and true, Super Ram, 113 heads and cam set up: LPE 219 or the GM Hot Cam.... There are so many of those engines out there, the good tuners have tunes on file that are so close..... Example: Last year we built a 383 with the LPE 219 cam, AFR 195's and Super Ram for a very good friend of mine. PCM4LESS did the mail order tune. The car runs and drives perfect. No driveability problems at all and it put down good power considering we dyno'd it on a Land and Sea dyno and the car still had 130K mile stock main cat and Y pipe exhaust in place.... Car also gets 25mpg on the hwy. PCM4LESS can hook your car right up with a tune. Man, I was just like you back in the mid to late 1990's... I had a number of 5.0L Mustangs with pretty serious mods and never did any compuer work... They all ran decent but I never knew how much better they could run until I got one tuned by someone who knew what they were doing..... An 89 coupe with a 347, World Windsor SR heads, GT40 intake, 24lb injectors and small custom ground Lazer hyd roller cam.... The car with the stock tune only put down 289RWHP, but ran decent (13.30's@109mph). After it was tuned it put down 340RWHP and ran low 12's@115mph.... That opened my eyes to what the stock cmputer would and would not account for. I will NEVER modify a computerized car and rely on the stock tune again. Will |
