turner

gearbangger · November 21st, 2009, 01:18 PM

I just brought a 95 gt. Now starting to modify. What is the best turner to use because i know these cars dont take modifcations very well.

wraitherx · November 21st, 2009, 01:21 PM

. Tuner not TURNER. What modifications have you done so far? As far as recommendations on tuners you are gonna be told many in which they are all pretty much by what they are using or what their tuner uses. So if you plan on getting either emailed tunes or going to a dyno tuner go with what they have or are using. If you dont plan on heavily modding your car you can get away with some canned tunes on either platform SCT or Diablo.

Welcome to the forums. First you need to see if you car is obd1 or obd2.

gearbangger · November 21st, 2009, 01:31 PM

my main goal is i would like to put a samll cam in it. just for that muscle car sound

gearbangger · November 21st, 2009, 01:32 PM

obd1

HMUSN · November 21st, 2009, 01:32 PM

Then you are going to need a chip. Or a stand alone.

wraitherx · November 21st, 2009, 01:33 PM

good catch Hmusn. yeah you are gonna need a chip.

gearbangger · November 21st, 2009, 01:37 PM

i also have set of edelbrock heads on it right now gt 40 upper and lower and exhaust the bottom end is stock

wraitherx · November 21st, 2009, 01:40 PM

yeah, a chip can come in handy. you can get an economy tune on it as well as an aggressive tune. This way if you are just out and about you can stay on economy but when someone wants to test you you can throw it into the aggressive tune.

gearbangger · November 21st, 2009, 01:44 PM

can you give me more information on that how does it work i didnt know you can buy a chip with more then one tune and switch it when you want

gearbangger · November 21st, 2009, 01:46 PM

im new to the whole chip thing i always had 89-93 mustang with a9l computer which didnt need any tuners

wraitherx · November 21st, 2009, 01:50 PM

I had a 89 that I chipped. here is some info on it
SCT Automotive Performance Products

HMUSN · November 21st, 2009, 01:51 PM

The chip (once the tunes are burned onto it) is simply plugged in and you can have a switch installed to change your tune on the fly.

like this one:

i'm going to check out that sct web site thanks for the help

95project · December 1st, 2009, 12:21 PM

+1 on SCT...i have one with 5 available tune programs. You can have one for "economy" and one for performance etc. you can also switch to another tune that is a Kill switch and wont allow engine to start.

95StangMX · December 1st, 2009, 02:04 PM

another thing DON'T get a cam just for sound, thats one of the worst things you can do, getting one for sound will often cause your car to perform worse. Get one that is matched to your setup, it may not be as lopey as you want but it will run a LOT better. I would contact Jay Allen @ Camshaft Innovations - Home

that5.0girl · December 2nd, 2009, 08:10 PM

+1 ^^

I got my car to sound pretty mean with a full exhaust system, a cam will usually make these cars sound a little tamer actually unless you get a BIG bumpstick which will make it more touchy to drive

Huh? sound tamer and touchy to drive? what cam are you using? or explain what you mean

that5.0girl · December 3rd, 2009, 01:46 PM

the stock cam in the 94 and 95 5.0's aren't actually that bad. And some cams such as nitrous cams or blower cams are generally a little tamer than something designed for no power adder so it really depends on what type of cam you choose and how much duration is ground into the cam. Camming a car doesn't mean that it'll have that lope that most people look for.

and touchy just meant that it won't be as easy to drive around town compared to a stock setup but its not like alot of people really care about drivability when they try to make it go fast

95StangMX · December 4th, 2009, 03:41 PM

Ok gotcha I thought maybe you had a cam that was not matched for your setup. And I agree with you some people go for a big cam to get that lopey sound and then the car doesn't run worth a crap. Thats why I was telling the OP not to make that mistake.
