Swapping to an A9L is going backwards. You're putting in a less capable computer. Keep your computer and get a tune or a tuner. Much better results.

fasle statement the 94 and 95 year models suck. they are the hardest to tune. They dont respond to mods very well at all even after there tuned they are very temperamental and will run differently day to day and idle one red light and try to shut off ant another. Any dyno guy will tell you either to swap it for the a9l or change it to the more modern obd2.

Then the dyno guys you've been talking to don't know how the fuck to tune cbaza. The EEC-V is a better computer all around, more parameters to tune and a better processor. This bullshit about A9L's (or any EEC-IV for that matter) being better is because they had a better stock tune than the the 94-95's. The EEC-V's had weaker spark tables on purpose. Ford was trying to save money on warranty issues so they de-tuned them. In stock form they also don't respond to mods as well as the EEC-IV's. As soon as you get a tuner on them that all changes. All you need is to know what you're doing and you're fine. Lots and lots of people with successful tunes on EEC-V's out there.

LOL Goodness attitude all over that post I see looks like I struck somewhat of a nerve. Call Eric Brooks at Brooks speed. This guy travels all over the country and canada. so are you going to swap your car over to the 94/95 ecu? I also own a 95gt car with a 331 and a single turbo I am still running the stock computer with a stc 4bank chip. I personally am not going through the trouble of swapping out to the fox style or the 96 and up style unless I starting getting crazy with the boost.


Brooks Speed - Custom Ford, GM, Dodge Tuning


Brooks Speed Inc. was founded in 2008 by Eric Brooks, Owner of ModularFords.com and former employee of SCT. We began tuning in early 2004. Since that time, we have developed close connections with the pioneers of the aftermarket custom tuning industry and OEM calibrators and have been trained by the best.

We specialize in late model Ford performance as well as GM and Chrysler. All of our tunes are designed not only to make great power, but to deliver unsurpassed driveability. Whether you are looking to make the most power, get increased fuel economy, or just change the way your vehicle's transmission shifts, we can handle all of your needs from completely stock vehicles to highly modified all-out race cars.

We offer tuning support and training to performance shops as well as do-it-yourself tuners that use SCT Pro Racer Packages. Whether you need a dyno tune, mail order custom tune, datalog analysis, or assistance tuning a vehicle, we can help!

We tune with the best equipment available to deliver a OEM quality tune. We are equipped with a DynoJet 224x chassis dynomometer and a lab quality wideband O2 sensor. Our dyno has the ability to log airfuel ratio, boost, fuel pressure, clutch slip, as well as every parameter available for datalogging. Data does not lie, that is why we use the very best in data acquisition.

Also I said nothing about the a9l having a better stock tune I simply was stating that they are easier to tune and are not as temperamental.

You're going to tell me that what I said was false and that's what you're going to back it up with? What would I call that guy for? I do my own tuning on my car. I've done a lot of research on tuning and I can tell you I've seen many people run tunes on EEC-V computers and a lot of the guys prefer it to EEC-IV computers for tuning. Going through the cbaza def file in binary editor, I can see why. Would I rather have an EEC-V in my car? Absolutely. But if I'm going to go through the trouble of a swap, it's not going to be for another stock computer. It'll be something like a FAST.

Right, but that's where it all started with people telling other people that the EEC-V's are junk. Because of the factory tune. Once you get a QH or a tweecer on there, the EEC-V is superior to the EEC-IV, it's really as simple as that.

Never said anything about the stock tune. I too tune my own stuff and I use a QH and EEC analyzer and Binary Editor. great do it yourself programs. I have tuned my 91 and the 95. The a9l is more user friendly over the 95.

Just because it's more user friendly doesn't make it a better computer. Point I'm making is that you telling me what I said about a 94-95 computer being the better option if you tune it being false, is incorrect. It is the better computer of the two and it's smarter to take advantage of that then it is to go backwards and put 80's technology in your 90's car just because it takes less effort to tune.
