    Tuning the beast...

    Figure I'll mention some of the tuning that I have done with the TwEECer on the wagon..

    So, what I bought was the base model Tweecer.

    http://tweecer.com/products.htm


    I am using an A9P ECU from a Mustang 5.0L automatic. Injectors are 24lb ford units, and my mass air meter is an 80mm unit from a Mark VIII.

    So the first things I changed were the Injectors and the MAF.

    Injectors are easy. Type the injector size in the Scalar tab, in the injector slope high adn Injector Slope low. I used 24 in both. The 93 Cobra ECU is the same way.



    The MAF was easy also. Go to functions, MAF transfer. Click "load MAF' and select the proper MAF. I am using the 80mm Mark 8 mass air meter.
    This is the stock MAF transfer



    The Lincoln Mark VIII 80mm MAF transfer is below.



    Next was adjusting the spark advance under Wide Open Throttle condition.

    This is stock....



    This is what I changed it to. Typical for a SBF. 16-20* initial and 34* total at 3000 RPM.

    Below is the base spark table, it's what th ECU looks at during closed loop to determine spark values. I have added 2* across the board.

      20* just seems a lot of base timing and not a lot of total timing. isn't 16* base and 38* total more common?

        Dunno, that's what I saw a lot on corral when I searched for it
        and technically I have more, because of the 4* advance the dist set for...I need to correct it..

        And it's still a heck of a lot more than the stock program had...

        18 base and 26 total at 4000rpm!

            It works great, I can always adjust it...Tad easier than recurving a dist, even a MSD billet.

            The best thing is it's still running 87 octane fuel. And that advance curve is like a nitrous hit...

                Feels like a nitrous hit when going WOT now.

                the car is way more powerful. wheneveer i take it to the track, I'll do back to back runs and switch between untuned and tuned just to demonstrate.

                    I know in a typical carbed application around 12-14* initial and 30-34* is desirable. "most" sbf enigines make peak power simmilar to those specs....
                    Thats with dizzy's that are locked into giving you 20* of mechanical advance with the slots tho.

                    Since your using a tweecer you can run a higher initial cause your not locked into 20* of advance. You can run whatever amount of advance you want which is nice. Try giving it some more timing, 26 isnt much... see what she does with 30 or a tad more.

                      It's at 30... I have the dist set 4* advanced. But that's closed loop, part throttle stuff. I might add a little bit to those base tables also. Gotta set the distributor back to 10 and add 4* back in the ECU. I might take a bit of it out of the initial though. It's acting a bit wierd off the line

                              I've been reading up on it for a looong time before I got the thing. Still doesn't all make sense. And I went to a newer, better software, and need to learn that now...
