tweecer

ok i hear good things about this programmer, but i have a few questions about it. How much hp gains would i be able to get from using the tweecer on a mildly modified 5.0, and also can someone who knows about cars but isnt to knowledged about air/fuel ratios, and stuff like that, be able to use this tweecer and not fuck something in their car up?

I don't have the Tweecer, but I have its cousin, the EEC Tuner.

The codes are the same, and the EEC Tuner can do almost everything the Tweecer can do.

I also happen to have an almost stock engine, other than some basic bolt ons. Pretty much the only two things you can play with are Ignition Timing and Air Fuel Ratios. Nothing else will really have much effect on performance on an almost stock engine.

You may be able to get up to 10hp extra from a good tune, don't expect more than that.

Also it takes a LONG time to be able to understand the Ford EEC and you have to be real careful about what you edit. Make a mistake like leaning out the fuel mixture too much, or screwing the injector timing and boom, you grenade your engine.

If you're up to learning a lot about your EEC and you have the patience to slowly make mods, a Tweecer/EEC Tuner is a good purchase, especially if you plan to do more upgrades to the car (Like me).

If you plan on keeping the car stock then a Tweecer is probably too expensive for the benefit.

I bought one, since it will help me considerably with drivability, and some other things, such as:

I can load in the timing/fuel curves out of an A9L. Voila'! PIH with half the work!,

I can delete the EGR function completely out of the computer, so it won't throw a code when I take it off, and it won't ping because the extra part-throttle timing won't be there.

I'll be able to set the MAF properly when I switch back to 24 lb injectors...

I can revise my fan scheduling to keep her cool, and eliminate my "hot wire".

Plus, I'm going nitrous soon, and the extra "TwEECing" will be extremely beneficial then.

For a mild 5.0, I would put my money some where else.

Aaron,

I shipped it yesterday

Enjoy.
