Tuners

What is the best tuner for my 1994 Mustang V6? I am going to be dropping in a 3.8L SC Supercharged motor in my stang this summer. They told me I will have to burn a chip to get it working right. This may be a dumb question but I have a Mac Mentor Scanner and I was wondren if that would work as a tuner. I really have no idea what a tuner is and what kinda things they do. Thanks for your help.

I've never heard of that scanner. I would look on local forums for recommendations on which local tuner people would suggest for tuning.

Where are you located?

Diablo Predator...I Would wait Till You Have The new Motor In Before You Tune It!

Iwould stay away from the Diablo stuff. SCT is where it's at.

The Mac Mentor is a OBDII code scanner the only reason I ask about that is because it has a part on it that has to do with programming. I really know absolutely nothing about tuners. I am right now in Mankato MN about an hour from the cities for college but in a couple of days I am going to be back in Northwest Indiana. I plan on waiting to tune till after the motor is in I just thought I'd ask about the tuners. Will the sc motor run in my car without tuning the computer??

I third that. A tuner from VMP is what you want.

Will it run? yes
Could it easily blow up? most certainly

I would contact Jutin at www.vmptuning.com and get a tuner and a tune from him.

I'll second the xcal.

Joe@tricktuners is where i would go. Doesn't take all year to respond to emails!

I can't believe none of you noticed this but none of those tuners will work on a 94/95. The 94/95s still used EEC IV ECUs that are not compatable with EEC V tuners such as the Diablo, X-Cal, etc.

The only ways to tune an EEC IV is with the following:
Anderson PMS Tuning Software (BEST)
SCT CHIP W/Multi Tune Settings (BETTER) however any drastic changes will require a reflash on the chip.
Tweecer RT Tuning Software (GOOD) only problems are it has a huge learning curve and still incures glitches from time to time.
