Carbed V6 Don't laugh

Is there anything that I can do to this computer that can help my perfomance? Is it just to old and slow?

The problem with those "compu carbed" engines is that there is so little information on them (V8 and V6). The ecm really didn't control too much on them (spark mainly) and I am not aware of any hac or Editor able to handle them (both V8 and V6).

On those vehicles, most "hot rodders" just dump the ecm and convert straight to a regular (non-computer controlled) carb and ignition system). It seems to be the most inexpensive yet effective solution.

Now, if you want to investigate actually reverse engineering and altering the Assembly Language "source code" by disassembling the BIN of your ecm (I do not know the part # of your ecm off hand), then anything is possible. But that is beyond the knowledge level of average DIY'er on this board.

But it (Assembly Language Programming) is "fun" (in its own way) if you choose to try it. I'm just dabbling into it myself at this point and while I'm the first to admit that I have a LOT to learn, I am finding that slowly but surely, I am picking up more and more. It just depends on the amount of time you wish to devote into it.

On a positive note. Your BIN is probably the easiest to reverse engineer (that isn't already hac'd) as it controlled so little.
