Ken,
When I bought the car it ran pretty good, the original owner claimed 500 hp at the wheels. It was a custome 8 stack throttly body system. The second owner had a " safer" tune put on it and decreased the power. Last winter I had the motor gone through after I blew a head gasket. They just put a holly on it to run it throught the warm up procedures and it made 600 hp at the flywheel with no tweaking.
After I got the FI sytem back on I just wasnt making much power so I towed it 2 1/2 hours away to the only guy I could find who would tune it. It was running megasuiurt and no one would tune it around here. It was only making 320 at the wheels and running very very rich. The computer was not accepting the changes he was making and the hp stayed exactly the same. Rather than spend the same or more on another computer system I just decided to go with a carb since I know it is making adequate power with a carb. The system I have will work good for somone who goes with a different tuning program but Im done messign with it.
