I need to know the ideas of the engine and what computer is in the car. I have a 331 stroker with a stock cobra computer in it and it runs great without tuning

I 've got a 347 Stroker and 70MM Throttlebobe and a mass air from a 94 cobra calibrated to 24#. 35PSI fuel pressure. It dynoed at 258HP, and ran really rich air/fuel...10.5:1. I'm told that I need an adjustable fuel pressure valve, or a 95 GT Mass Air calibrated for the 24# injectors. (haven't seen one of those) I am trying to figure out how to gaet the air fuel correct and get the rest of the horsepower. Maybe a new chip???

im kind of in the same boat you are black306stang. I have a 94 GT and did a 331 stroker and im getting ready to fire it up this weekend. I also have the 24 lb injectors, the C&L mass air meter, and im going to be running the stock 94 computer. I also think its going to run like crap until i get a tune or something. What can we do to get it to run smooth? Programer, or will it have to be dyno tuned or something? Sorry to steal your thread here black306stang im just in the same situation you are in right now.

The SN95 PCms I huess aren't good for supporting mods so you're probably going to have to get a profresional tune or do the 89-93 computer swap and try and tune it your self with timing and fuel pressure.

Does this site have a "Tuner" Page so that we can get our machines running? There seems to a lot of interest in tuning all of the mods we are doing.
