Sorry, but this is BS. According to many of our muscle car era customers, all you need is a box full of carb jets and a timing light OK, maybe also a flashlight to inspect plugs.

It is actually amazing to use software like HPTuners or EFILive on a modern ECU. The number of of different aspects of engine/transmission operation that are modeled in these on-board computers is mind boggling, and yet they all make sense when you take the time to understand them.

Sorry to divert the main Camaro XV thread, but I just love this stuff.

Now, if only we could use a computer to tune out the inherent disadvantages in handling/braking/areo of a 69 Camaro!
