Noob Question-Possible to tune my car?

I don't really know that much about tunning so maybe some of you guys could help me out. Is it possible to tune my car? I have an 83 Z thats carb'd. I know its possible with tpi/tbi systems but I am unsure about my car. Some friends have been telling me I need to tune my car. Some mods I have are a mild cam, edelbrock rpm intake, rebuilt q-jet built for my cam specs, open element, headers and 3" exhaust, and I just recently installed a 4th gen rear end. So is it possible to tune it and would it benefit me?

Re: Noob Question-Possible to tune my car?

Is it still a CCC setup? Or are u running a straight QJ?

Look at the sticky uptop and near the bottom u will find the CCC hacks and info for the computer controlled carbs. Any of your tuning would be more spark than anything but the primary still has some limited ecm fueling capability.

later
