[QUOTE="Willie, post: 16459512, member: 14133"] Tuning these monster monos are problematic, but with time and patience, they can be made to run like stock. I bolted on a 168 KB mono a couple of years ago, and did it need a ton of tweaking. Idle was a bear to get below 1000 rpms, and it would also failsafe, to mention only two. I approached one issue at a time, then moved on to the next as I slowly got it working to my satisfaction. I have to say I learned a lot, having never tuned a mono prior to this one. Today, throttle response is crisp and my idle is down to 750 rpms (stock). But it did take a LOT of tweaking and the issue with this is that pro tuners won't take anywhere near that amount of time, probably two or three iterations at most. Most likely because Ford publishes their data, or it's at least readily available. None of the other aftermarket TB's do, to the best of my knowledge. Us tuners are left to our "best guesses" or others in the same boat. [/QUOTE]
