Default RE: sniper tuned mustangs

Yes you get 2 bullitts when you buy the sniper sf software which allows you to tune 2 cars or trucks. You can buy additional bullitts and tune as many as 3000 cars and trucks.

It works alot different then a handheld. You won't be able to fine tune your car without a wideband but you can bump timing untill you ping then back it off. I have noticed the the basic sniper tune that gets made the first time is rich. Very rich actually like 1.5 rich. You can lean it out in WOT with sniper and be ok because it won't give you enough adjustments in the WOT ranges to go to lean. Just don't adjust any global fuel without a wideband.

I don't recommend tuning fuel without a wideband and if you do and blow your engine its on you.

Default RE: sniper tuned mustangs

To clear a few things up, I just ordered the software and it should be here today.

You can tune up to two cars before having to buy sniper bullets, as mentioned above.

It is NOT compatible with MAC sadly...I also have one. But you can use a PC laptop or desktop. You do have to be careful with the software however, as mentioned you could easily be in a world of hurt if you don't pay attention to what you are doing or if you change things thinking you know what you are doing. Otherwise it seems to be awesome software and I cannot wait to start tinkering with it ASAP. Good luck and I hope that helps.

[/align][/align]Don't tinker with anything at first, just answer the questions posed by the software and preferably select 93 octane fuel for the greatest gain. The Special Forces software will select the initial fuel and timing settings based on the selections you have made--these will be the "no change" settings on the Fine Tuning page. [/align][/align]I also concur that without a wide-band sensor you should not be mucking about with the fuel settings, and if you don't know what pinging sounds like stay away from the timing settings too and just go with the Sniper calculated settings (again, they will be the "no change" settings on the Fine Tuning page--that's no change from the Special Forces calculated settings based on octane, intake/exhaust, MAF and injector settings, etc., not from the OEM settings).[/align][/align]Here are snaps of most of the screens, the bottom two are only shown if you are FI or run nitrous. There is also a screen full of settings for automatic transmissions to set shift pressures and shift points by RPM of MPH.[/align][/align][/align][/align]Some of these settings are not preserved between sessions, I wrote a utility to document and permit reloading of the settings not saved by the Special Forces editor--you can download it here...[/align]

I tuned my wifes 01 gt on an 87 octane tune and there was small gain in performance but alot of drivability improvement. I modified the tune later by increasing spark and taking away fuel but I know what I'm doing and hooked a temp wideband up to it. Just tune for 93 and put 93 octane in your car. Whats 30 cents?

Like oxford said, you won't see a big performance gain, but should see better drivabilty! You should do the 91/93 tune set up. This allows for more timing and hence better performance!! Everyone of our customers has been more than happy with the software/results.
