Got the PRP package - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

stellasmechanic · 01-24-2014, 08:49 PM

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.

Ive got it too but have not started doing nearly enough with it, just havent made the time to dedicate to it

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.

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

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.

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)
