Being able to adjust timing helps a bunch. But I don't agree that you need a dyno, it's nice but not absolutely necessary imo.
And I know Greg had a bad experience but I do cals via the internet all the time, it makes a difference if you know what you're doing.

Did you do that 427 with the EZ EFI or the XFI?

Neither one, Accel Gen 7.
That's why I mentioned what I did. The XFI can't tailor the individual cylinder trim by load/rpm. It's an all or nothing calibration with the XFI and doesn't exist at all on the EZ.

Compos, thank you for the comment, I think

Yes there are too many mediocre tuners out there, with every make of system. I know I've run across too many.
And yes I do gaurantee my tuning. But I ask all the right questions about the application BEFORE I sell anybody anything. And I'm not concerned about not making any money on the self tuning stuff, it's not my primary source of income anyway. If you look closely at the software there are better and average systems around.

But the nice thing about some of the better systems out there is that they will help an otherwise ill advised combination to some degree, i.e. another 427 Ford I did with a 249/[email protected] on a 110 hyd roller cam. It came to me with a Mass AirFlo system, self tuning right? Ran like crap, even after 3 chip changes and sending the ECM back twice. After swapping to a non self learning system, it idles at 750 rpm all day and runs great.

That is what most of the sales / tuner guys DON'T do.... they just sell or install and think they can figure it all out... SO KUDOS TO YOU MARK!

I was trying to think of a "clean" option to run my fuel lines.

Is it a bad idea to mount the regulator on the firewall between the distributer and coolant lines. Then run the fuel lines down behind the motor and on top of the trans. The lines would then run down the center of the car like the factory line is ran.
