So I just got the sniper stuff and my comp needs some .net framework stuff but I have no idea what it is because I have .net framework 5.0 and it still wont work. :/ Anybody know what to do with that?

A monkey could tune with it. Really easy to use. I talked to cliffyk and he told me not to do any fuel modification until I get a wideband. Also if you adjust the global spark keep adding till you hear a ping and then back it off .5* or until ur car won't ping. Other then that it is really up front and easy to use.

It's on the disc. I think the directions to find it are in the manual.

Well this depends largely on the application. Virtually stock Mustang, sure very simple and not much to change.

But I wouldn't' recommend running .5* before stark knock on forced induction application (I'm sure cliffy wouldn't either)

+1k, f/i is a whole different game...

In fact if you do not have a forced induction kit from one of the reputable vendors, or if you are attempting to upgrade such a kit using components not provided by that vendor, I would not recommend Special Forces.

The reason proper f/i kits cost more than the sum of their parts is because the supplier took the time to select pieces/parts the would work together, in harmony, and test those components to make sure they do.

This is includes injectors, fuel options, MAFs, tunes, and just about everything else that comes in an f/i kit.

Special Forces is great for tweaking these properly matched systems.

However when--as many have done--someone assembles their own f/i "kit" using a "calibrated" MAF* they got at a swap meet, 60 lb/h injectors they "got from a friend", some odd-ball FMU, and other components from all over the place there are two things that become immediately necessary.

A tool to properly tune such a system (Delta Force Commando or similar), and the knowledge to use such a tool...

----------------------------------------
* - Undocumented, "calibrated", MAFs are particularly troublesome and can create all sorts of tuning problems if you don't have (or threw away as one fellow I worked with had done) the transfer data.

That'd be be lol. Stay away from calibrated MAFs!
