[QUOTE="cbrown9064, post: 15103134, member: 160552"] Oh, OK that info helps. First off, I highly recommend working with a remote tuner. There are several but some use different hardware/software. So, unless you are tied to one type of hardware/software, pick a tuner and go with what they use. For me, I wanted the ability to both modify the tune myself as well as do it on the "fly" without having to stop and either flash the computer or burn a chip and install. The Quarterhorse is an emulator board that plugs into the J3 port on the EEC IV or V. It "gets in between" the PCM and the rest of the car and sends the commands and is able to datalog. The ability to make a change and instantly see the results was appealing to me, along with pretty fast datalogging. For software, I went with Binary Editor. The software is pretty easy to use. What takes a lot more time to learn is what all the parameters are and do. There are scalars, functions and tables. Many look at each other. If you decide to go the QH/BE route, there are two good remote tuners I recommend. Decipha at EFIdynotuning.com and Willie at Dirty Dirty Racing. Two other excellent tuners are Don LaSota and Bob Kurgan. However I know Bob doesn't tune with QH/BE and IIRC Don may, but only with a certain wideband. So you have two paths to go. If all you are interested in is a tune, pick a remote tuner and buy what they tell you. If you are interested in learning how to tune, then I recommend the BE/QH combo and get your tune from someone who works with that combo. I can tell you that your combo is very common and my buddy has a very similar setup in a Fox. He used Willie (after another tuner stopped responding to him) and got the car running great in just a few email revisions. When he put different heads and a tmoss ported intake on, Willie again retuned and the thing put down 410rwhp on a eddy current with 8psi... [/QUOTE]
