tuning with the sniper

i have played around with about 100 tunes so far. different MAF's ,setting, etc.

put the LMAF in and boy it took a few hours to get a baseline tune where it would run.

it will take a few runs to get it right, but fianlly i can get the A/F perfect throughout the rpm range and fiddle with the spark after that.

i finally have all standard sensors where i can tune it all elctronically. no need to fool the 'puter any more. LMAF revvs quicker than the C&L. should be worth a few hp. and its totally a standard OEM FORD part.

Never played with Sniper software myself, but have heard good things. Hope you get it all right!!

Good Luck man!

ok finally success.


all WOT shifts are below limiter. i am fine tuning it before our next dyno. i will take my PC to the dyno so i can get it precisely on.

lightning 90mm MAF works perfectly. shifts like a race car... very hard and quick.

5200 rpm 1-2 shift
5700 rpm 2-3 shift.

no more excuses. a tune finally.

limiter set to 6000.

OK I FINALLY HAVE IT 99.5% RIGHT. I CANT WAIT FOR TUESDAY'S RACING AT THE HILL.


I M GOING TO ADD A FEW MORE DEGREES TIMING TO THE LOW END, AND WTEAK THE a/f TINY BIT. BUT 99.5% there.

woo hooo...shifts like a dream. i forgot what it's like to just somp the accelerator and drive it. no more trying to get the 1-2 shift before it hits the limiter but after 5000... one out of 5 runs i actually got it. now every time.

pulled the LMAF out. it makes more power, and its obviously betterm, but i have a high rpm/high load miss with it. the tuner thinks its the MAF reading barometrically wrong. the C&L 80mm works perfectly, but gives up noticable power.
