Anyone tune an inline?

Hey,

Just wondering if there is anyone on the forum that tunes efi inlines. And if there is someone in Ontario as well?

Do you just want to get it in good running order to original power? Or do you want to hop it up so to speak? If the latter, please explain?

The OBD2 mass air system is very adaptable so it really doesn't need any tuning until you go into the motor and start making big changes.. like installing a head that actually flows some air. And then I'd suggest you invest in a handheld tuner and learn how to use it because tuning is something that may take dozens of tries to get right so owning your own device is easily more cost effective than paying somebody to do it that many times.

That's not tuning. That's installing after-market parts. Do you have any sort of plan/objectives/budget for what you're trying to accomplish?

Yes. Aftermarket parts that will need tuning because the factory tune will not work for something like that.

You have a MAF setup. It'll probably cope just fine with what you want to do.

If it doesn't, you'll need to pickup a Moates QuarterHorse or a Tweecer, a copy of BinaryEditor and find someone to write a definition file for your ECU.There might already be one made, but unlikely for a fairly uncommon configuration such as yours.

I doubt anyone has a hand held OBD-II port tuner compatible with your truck.
