I would suspect you can get whatever tools you need to confirm the tune from them (FAST). If they have a standard tune that has evolved I'd say it probably won't hurt - treat it like any other software update. But if the tune was modified by Roush I wouldn't put a different tune in it. The reason is that the faux 8-stack injection is not linear with throttle position and air flow. I've gone into the details in other posts (don't ask me where) but the air flow over the throttle body vane varies by the position relative to the injector, with the net effect being that in the case of at least the Accel, at idle it was running extremely rich because the air/fuel didn't get a chance to mix until the throttle blade was open to about 1/2. I don't know how FAST deals with this characteristic. I never figured out who made the Roush 8-stack so if it is Borla you could perhaps turn to them for some advice on how the off the shelf FAST tunes work.
It's a Borla 8 stack with a FAST XFI Sportsman ECU. I was told that FAST no longer sells my ECU and there's very few people who can tune them or at least not willing to tune them. I believe Roush tune the engine. If so, they should have a copy of the tune or I'm I being too optimistic??

Thanks, Mike
