[QUOTE="98 N/A 4V, post: 15985774, member: 21512"] I did a search and couldn't find a thread or sticky on how to start tuning my own car. I figured I built the motor might as well do the tuning. I don't know much about tuning other than what timing (advanced/retard), A/F ratios (lean and rich) do and what the results are when they are changed. But don't know how to change them via software or how much I can safely change it. Not that I'm starting easy. I wish I could start tuning on a stock n/a car but I'm not. My car is a novi'd 5.4 4v. :D It has a base tune that was burned into the PCM. I think it was originally done with diablo software. Last I looked into this there was Sniper tuning, SCT PRP, Diable, and old school tweeker. Not sure if there are others. What would be a good one to get for a novice? I would most likely have a laptop at the track doing data logs. Thanks. -Mark [/QUOTE]
