laptop tuning??
 

I am in the market for a computer tuning system preferably by use of a laptop. i really dont want a hand held. i want one that i can precisely tune and one that records a/f ratios, engine diag. and capable of us tungin for nos, forced induction and n/a all in one. What are my options?? Sniper inc. is one that i found. any one know about this one??

RE: laptop tuning??
 

Though i havn't used it yet, the SCT Xcal 2 (a handheld) is supposed to be tunable through laptop software...

RE: laptop tuning??

Well, if you have morons suggesting things it will cost 5g. There is an EEC tuner that costs less than 400. And there is an aftermarket route, thats when you ditch EEC and get another ECU, that costs under 200.

I have the latter system on my mustang, its beautiful, and easy to install if you know your stuff.

By the way, the latter system is a lot more technologically advanced than engine management systems used in latest Ferrari models, its enough to run formula 1 motor and chassy, its capable of EFI, ignition, and traction/launch control. (but not automatic trans)

i understand that there will be some head work going into tuning but that2nd option ins really really indeth and the first one says up to 95 mustang v8. i thank you for the info though.

do you know about the sniper inc. setup

RE: laptop tuning??
 

It isnt "in depth" because you dont understand the theory, and you not ready for it. Which is cool.


2nd option will work for your mustang, it just means you will be using EEC-IV (and you have ECC-V). Again involved, but not too much, you get engine harness and EEC-IV, and do install, its easy.. No I never heard of sniper inc setup. Im running SCCA on the first setup, it all one can ever ask for.
