I believe your fuel pressure should be somewhere between 38-42.

LoL

On a serious note though, you should start a new thread about clocking your MAF and we can make it a sticky. I have a gut feeling that this is going to be the latest/newest questions that will be asked 100X's per week. Just my .02 [8D]

ORIGINAL: 89 mustang

Ok dose anyone know how to self tune????
as in what timing and fuel pressure to run? how to set the tps voltage
and how to Clock the mass air meter?
timing--try 12-13 if it's not pinging...if it is, back it off or go w/ higher octane gas.
fuel pressure-- ~38-40
tps voltage--~.98-.99 @ idle. Use volt meter on green and black wires, I think.
clocking the MAF--ball your hand up in a fist and smack the **** out of it....oh, wait...loosen the clamps and rotate the housing until you find the sweet spot.

^^that's a REALLY brief summary. Searching past threads will help you a lot.

ok I have a ADS super chip on right now so how do i set the timing, whit the chip on or with the chip off???
the reason why i ask is because i know that the chip is supposed to advance the timing and mess whit the air and fuel.
my timing is set at 14 i think, whit the chip on.

whats the adle RPM sopposed to be at??
