Programming my EEC
Can anyone suggest to me what tuner to use on my EEC-IV? I have a 1995 F-250 with a tired stock 460 that is getting a 521 long block replacement. I'm told I will have to make some changes to the EEC. Also, anyone have any ideas where I can find the EEC on the truck. Is it the 5" x 7" silver box under the dash center/driversideish. it has a small plug on the drivers side, and a place to plug a plug in, (empty) on the passenger side.

Well I've learned so far there is no programmer for a 1995 F-250. The Truck has DOE0 computer code. Diablo makes a Delta chip that appears they will custom program for a DOE0. OH, and I found the EEC, it passes through the firewall at the drivers side kick panel. the DOE0 code is a sticker on the outside of the metal case.
Can anyone add to this, thanks?

SCT (Superchips Custom Tuning) makes several variations of tuning software and will work with just about any EEC IV ECM. It's a little pricy, but from what I've read, it's the best tuning software on the market right now.

Actually, the Diablo Revolution tunes far more parameters than the Superchips Custom. Costs a little more, but just like with the Predator.... you get more. 
Both products can be used for burning a chip. Neither is end user software.
If you need to purchase a chip you should go with Diablo because Superchips has dropped all EEC-IV support.

Hey Ken, I've stroked and bored my 460 to a 521, added a 262 comp cam. the crank is zero ground, and the timing set is going to be pre 73. Because I live in CA, I'm using the Banks Exhaust, stock intake, stock fuel injection. My question is do you think with the stock settings in the ECM will run the engine? I'm looking at ordering a One stage diablo sport chip and order a custom program. If the stock ECM settings will run the engine, I'm thinking then it will pass smog. I'd have stock (smog day) setting, then a custom tuned setting. The computer code is a DOE0.
I will take delivery of the 521 long block mid January. The truck still has the tired stock 1995 460 in it.

No, the stock computer won't work with it. It may run but it will run like crap, and dangerously lean. The cam makes it even worse.

Ken, What would you suggest? purchasing a 3 stage chip? and having 2 custom programs written? One to run it economically, and the other power?

Superchips no longer supports EEC-IV. Superchips Custom is a completely different product, from a different company, that is licensed by Superchips, not aimed at the average end user. Superchips only provides existing EEC-IV tune files and is not creating new files. This has been posted on their BBS for a long time.

P.S. We should be able to pass emissions with this setup when done. Will let you know after some dyno pulls.
