Hello all. I just recently bought an 1989GT coupe, the motor is rebuilt. I am having trouble finding a shop who will do a reliable dyno tuning. I currently live in delaware county. Please all the help i can get or even if you put me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have had a bad experience with Tillman's (they dodged me for over six weeks, and when they finally tell me they will do my car, they don't even touch it for over two days.)

I have called Evolution, but they do not work on older mustangs.


Thank you-

what makes you think it needs dyno tuning?

Exactly, stock 5.0's don't need dyno tunes. Just give me the $500 and I'll print you a certificate that shows your 4hp gain.

No need to be a ***** about it. you could have just left the hread as it was.

OP you need to give us some more information about your car. what if anything, do you have done to the car

Haha I was just joking, I believe you've been much ruder in the past.

what exactly is the prob you are having??

It bucks out at 3grand and it smells like straight fuel. Everyone keeps telling me to push the fuel pressure up and it just isnt working..... I only got about 1,000 miles on the motor and it was never dyno tuned yet...

If it smells like raw fuel then it's flooding it. If anything fuel pressure needs to go down. What do you have it set at?

Also, what brand MAF is on your car? As unless you have a REAL good one, that MAF may be your problem, 90mm is WAY too big for your set-up, may not be getting a proper reading.

It shouldn't have to be tuned. My 408 with 42# injectors runs almost perfect right off the factory PCM. Runs at about 13.7:1 under load. FP set at 36lbs
