Which tuner?

Im looking to start tuning my 5.slow tbi maro. Lots of options out their but I thought Id ask the local crowd what theyve used. Need something user freindly. Its either that or get a p.o. box and order a 750 hp.

You want to start tuning your TBI? If that is the case you can dig up a laundry list of things to do to your car but really, option two of what you mention as your choices might be more satisfying than throwing money at a 305 TBI.

Welcome to the forum.

I rebuilt the motor and dont see the point in pulling out the 305 w 16000 miles for more cubes, but want more power. Guess ill just go the "off road" route. What do you think about baja flares double shocks, a lift, and 35's?

What's up ratrodjon, I think some of us met you at a meet last year no?
I'm all for adding power to whatever ya got, especially if it improves your overall driving ability and enjoyment.

Try some searching in the PROM board for what's best for tuning a TBI, I have no idea.
You probably have the same options as everybody else;
burn multiple chips etc with a programmer, or get some sort of emulator that can burn on the fly.

Lots of good TBI tips there too to get some more power.

One of our mods, adambros, has a TBI and has done a gajillion things to it and has made some impressive power gains.

Thanks for the link. Yeah I met you guys at Sac raceway. I had the blue maro with the paint falling off it. I was warming up traviz's bottle. At least I found my car had some place at a race track. Hope to see you guys at the Tahoe meet, now I have to go humiliate someone who didnt get the whole off-raod joke above.
