Hi everyone....I am new to the site so please be patient. OK I have a 89 Mustang LX 5.5 Conv. That is modified. her is a list of the mods.
Engine Information[/b]
Ford Motorsport M-6007-XE3 bored .010 (306) with Motorsport forged pistons . It has the aluminum GT40 heads (M-6049-X303) with the GT40 valve train.
1.6 Ford Motorsport Roller Rocker arms
GT40X302 aluminum heads
Ford Motorsport "E" Cam
Trickflow intake
BBK adjustablefuel pressure regulator
Vortech S-Trim V1 Supercharger
BBK 77mm Throttle body
BBK 77mm EGR plate[/ul]
Other Information[/b][/align]
BorlaCat Backexhaust
BBK equal length shorty headers
Bassani Stainless Steel X pipe with cats.
Centerforce Dual Friction clutch (6,000 miles)
Pro-M Bullet 75mm mass air meter
Afco Radiator
Eaton electric fan
25lb Fuel injectors
MSD 6 BTM boost timing retard unit
MSD 6AL Ignition
MSD coil
155 lph in tank fuel pump

Now the problem is I cannot get it tuned right. When I get on it it pings terrible. Exhaust is very stinky if you know what I mean really rich. Any input would be great. Does this look like a good setup? Is ther anything you would change? Thanks for any advice.

RE: Need Tuning Help
Pro50 knows all, especailly when it comes to chargers, i think he's been running his for 4 years or more with no major issues, def get a tune done on a dyno bya good shop and you should be in good shape, street tuning can be tough (and if you're like my dumbest friend pop a motor while doing so)

RE: Need Tuning Help
"and a stand alone fuel management system, damn, not a bad way to spend 10 grand" lol, anyways, nice setup you have there, im envious of the build minus the cam =P.
on to the issue, what is your timing set at? have you thought about getting a professional tune done? have you thought about using a pms or getting a professional tune. Also what size injectors are you using?
goodluck getting it solved and nice build. I also recommend you upgrade your fuel pump to atleast a 225lph.
