have you ever tuned a car before?
do you have a high level of technical knowledge?
are you aware that mistuning your car can be VERY BAD?


If you answered no to any of these questions.... you should seek a dyno-tuner to tune your car for you

My opinion is that you have to not be pretty dense, or just not paying attention to do permanent damage.
It would be easier to screw up a motor with nitrous or boost, but it seems like you would have to try to mess up an n/a car.
Just my opinion though...

I have enjoyed the tweecer. If you are interested in the tweecer, then download the software from the tweecer site; it is free. The manual should download with the software.
I have some 'tips and tricks' on my site, and some notes on what I have done with my tune.
(I am not an expert yet, but I have found some ways to make using the tweecer easier)

The hardest part of learning the tweecer is learning the Ford programming method. Once you figure out what Ford did, and why then the tweecer software (CalEdit) makes sense.
It took me a week of serious research everyday after work to feel comfortable making my first tune changes.
That week was how long it took for the tweecer to be delivered.

Take it slow research one item at a time, and only make one change at a time.

The pms is supposedly easier to learn, but I am not sure how it handles emissions equipment and datalogging.
Hopefully someone can chime in here...

I have purchase a pair of Innovate LC-1 WB's.
I will replace my stock O2's with the WB's using the narrow band simulator function.

The LM-1 from Innovate seems more commonly used, but I am not really sure why...

As always vristang gives good advice. Learning to tune well, takes awhile and it can be a rather cool journey. Learning to tune good enough not to be dangerous, doesnt take long if you READ, READ, READ and then carefully experiment using what you ve read as a guide. The Ford like most factory EFI systems is more complicated an animal thanthe aftermarketstand alone systems. I highly recommend getting your hands on a book called " How to Understand, Service and Modify Ford Fuel Injection & Engine Control, written by Charles O. Probst. Its a very informative book and not only gives you a heads up on the Ford system, but explains alot that just has to do with fuel injection and tuning in general. Of course the internet has some good info on it but its hard for the beginner to know what BS and whats valid so becareful and always double check anything you've read online.
