Default Doug tuning Fox bodies?

Yes, at least one. For anyone that has followed my 86 GT. I has always made big HP but the A/F has been way messed up and nothing seemed to fix it.
With the help of Walker Dyno Tune and Doug at Bama Chips, the A/F is now what it should be.
I reduced the boost by 5# from my last numbers because the A/F just wasn't right.
On the dyno last night it made 600 RWHP behind the C4 and from tip in to 6500 RPM the RWTQ stayed over 450. The peak RWTQ was over 500 but can you imagine how 500 at tip in and staying over 450 RWTQ all the way to 6500 RPM is going to feel.
Thanks Doug, Blake, and PJ!

it's the same 86 GT on the stock block. Been limited for some time on the top side by a leaning condition. Just trying to get that right.
Went back to 20# pulley last night for a test pull on it, RWHP was up 100 for the pull up to 5000 RPM. Looks like the 20# pulley will require Doug to do a little more tuning (tried to go lean).
I hope to be at the track next weekend. Some may remember this car was running 6.30@110mph before I started messing with it. New fuel lines, new rails, bigger injectors, regulator, etc only seemed to slow it down to 6.50 due to rich in bottom end. The current effort is to flatten that A/F from bottom end to top end.

If all goes well, it should end up some where near 700 RWHP and run in the 5's. But, I also know at some time I will be posting about a very messy broke block.
