tweecer is good if you get past the learning curve of using it and understanding all the tables and where to make changes and what changes in certain areas will affect

then have a chip /tune burnt if you are trying to max a combos potential, on the other hand if you are trying to solve a drivibility issue, run a koer test and start with the basics

ok... well it's not really driveability issues! surprisingly the 94 computer is not pushing any codes after the we drove her for awhile! i've heard horror stories about the computers being quite tricky getting them to mesh with engine work!

Anyways, I just want something to help the engine run safely and at it's best potential! I was just wondering whether or not the SCT 4 bank would achieve that?

And I would get a chip burned but I believe it's quite expensive correct? I have a budget of $450 left for this upgrade! lol so, It may be a good idea to just save and get a custom burn with more potential!

The thing I like about the SCT is the ability to modify the tune for future modifications... which are going to happen if all works out right!
