Tuning Ques
I am going to be tuning my car this week and have a question.. its just a stock 5.0 exhaust, 73mm MAF and CAI. the car is horribly weak from stop to 3000 but once it hits 3300 the power comes on noticibly.. also the gas milege is real bad (about 165 highway miles to a tank). I have been told that these probs can be the result of the timing being set wrong. for a car being driven 40-60 miles a day and only runs on Plus gas wat should the timing be? Im hoping by putting a good tune on it that it will run alot better.. any help is great
Thanks

RE: Tuning Ques
if it feels like it just wakes up once you hit 3000rpm, then your ignition module on the side of the distributor is toast, get a new one.
my car was crap when I got it, same thing, barely any power till 3k rpm. then it picked up really fast,
I put a new one in and it pulled like that in all gears.
