RE: Got it tuned finally
Autos will give lower numbers on a dyno but it's misleading! Take it to the track and see what you think then. I bet you will be satisfied... you did NOT waste your money. Numbers are just numbers and dynos dont reflect true HP from an automatic... take it to the track and tell us what it does. I'm putting a car together with the same exact mods you are and I don't care what the dyno says it has... the track will tell me if it's putting out or not.

Autos don't lay down good numbers on the dyno with a mild set up such as yours. That thing will scream at the track! Who gives a **** about power numbers, those should be used for tuning purposes only. Good luck bro! I'm sure you won't be dissapointed once you take it down the 1/4 mile.

RE: Got it tuned finally
If you have a hunting idle a tune can address that issue!! Ijust finished an H/C/I on a 94 and it had a slighthunting idle which a tune will usually address. It's caused by the aggressive cam change vs the sensitivity of the sn-95 computers that were reworked for these two years to better comply with more stringent emmissions laws coming into effect. In a nut shell the sn-95's computers have been detuned and tend to over correct for changes such as cams expecially when the lobe center on a performance cam is changed from the reccommended min of 114 to lets say 110 or 112 like a e-cam or tfs stage 1 cam........this is why the steeda 19 cam is so sn-95 freindly and would be my choice if I owned a 94-95

one day, people will listen to me about the TFS top end kit....
hell, my cobra made 253/294 before I even tuned it... and that was on a stock h/c/i with CAI, exhaust, 15° timing, and UDP's
think of it this way... you just spent $2200+ to get the performance my car came with STOCK.... dont you feel dumb now?
