AMS in Illinois tune that. They are pretty booked though. I just called them the other day about tuning my new car and they said they are backed up until mid June!

with a little time and practice and a wideband you should be able to get a fairly good tune. but if its way over you head anybody that has any experience with a standalone should be able to through a pretty good tune at it.

Dynotune is in Madison

NCR has had bad luck with Megasquirting probes, so I've been told by a few people.

Look on msefi.com We MSed my buddies probe GT. It is not that hard to do, just read a lot about it.

well the car is gunna be basically a probe gt but with the klze motor instead so im guessin you would know how to wire it up and maybe run a base map...i can make it worth ur time if u could help.

I run it in my setup, its pretty easy to tune for standalone, but if you dont have a clue, pretty much any dyno shop should be able to tune, if they can tune a haltech aem electromotive etc, they can tune the MS good luck mang

I have done a couple of Megasquirts on Mustangs. They're a good setup for the money. I would say that I have a bit of experience with them.

So you don't have the car yet or the MS?

What kind of ignitions system do 93 probes come with? I have done TFI and EDIS ignitions.

Do you know what Megasquirt Version you have/are getting?

The hardest part is figuring out what ignition you want to run and deciding if you want to use the factory harness or make a new one.

And who did you hear this from may I ask?

We have installed and tuned 8 megasquirt'ed probes now. 4 of them turbo. Never have I had a problem. :shrug:
