Default Tunning question???

Ok boys and girls I have a question, when it comes to these computers I am a little behind. I learned engine mods on a 65 302 vert so yeah, EFI is still a little mystry(sp?).

This is the set-up I was looking at for now
-Cobra R upper/lower intake
-70mm TB
-75mm MAF
-AFR 185 60cc or 61cc, shortly after, (getting those for the blower install down the road)

I have the A9L computer in my car and i was told that it could handle those type of bolt-ons, would I need to go somewhere to get it tuned or can that computer handle those mods without causeing problems? I know I would definetly need at tune after the blower...

Oh yeah, with the set-up from above would I need 24# injectors or would the stock 19# be ok?

With the setup above I would upgrade to 24lb injectors.

You will have to get your MAF calibrated for 24's. You don't "have" to get a chip or twEECer, but it would be a wise investment just to prevent leaning out or detonation.
