Got the PRP package
Well I got my PRP from SCT today. I got my tune file from Justin at VMP so I am starting with the tune that I already know works.
Goal is to get my Cobra r intake cams in my wifes car tomorrow, make sure air/fuel is straight and it idles okay, and then hit the dyno to see what she will do. This software is intense but I'm really looking forward to learning it.

Re: Got the PRP package
Its a long humbling road but worth it in the end I think. I really like knowing exactly what my car is doing and why. It has confused and frustrated the crap out of me but been satisfying all the same. If you don't already have Don Lasotas book The Ultimate Ford EFI Tuning Guide I highly recommend it. Good fundamental beginning and keep you from doing more harm than good. The CD is good to I hear but haven't seen it.

Re: Got the PRP package
ya i was gonna grab the bannish tuning book bc its cheap then get the Lasota one.
Im half tempted to buy a beater *** V6 car that at least runs fine and cut my teeth on it...worst case I blow it up and get $500 at the junkyard

Re: Got the PRP package
I'm cheating a little since justin sent me the tune I have been running for the last four years. I don't plan on doing any crazy modifications on this car so the learning curve should be pretty easy initially.
Really fuel, spark, RPM limit, and the ability to do dyno runs are what I wanted. The best part is my buddy has been tuning for about ten years and is going to help out. I'm sure I will be posting questions though before long.

Re: Got the PRP package
i got a base tune with mine as well but it would required tweaking from the start as my MAF/MAF tube apparently doesnt have any solid value files out there and the guy supporting it does unlimited phone support...I just dont have any back roads Im comfortable doing 3rd gear WOT pulls to tune it (with the DRs I think third would hold but I dunno)

Re: Got the PRP package
remember I also have different gearing with the 6speed and 4.10s out back on top of the ~600ish I expect on pump

My buddy is going to teach me and he has been doing it for ten years. The transmission tuning functions are what I want to learn.

Re: Got the PRP package
Timing ramp and trans tuning definitely make a world of difference

Re: Got the PRP package
the big thing is the maf tunning. spend the time and get that dialed in and youll be set!
it is time consuming and Don lasota's book was a great resource.

One benefit of staying N/A. The MAF transfer function usually doesn't need much tweaking.

Re: Got the PRP package
I have a stock MAF template from Lund. I'll see if I can find it. It's minimal changes except for some top end stuff.
