Tunning with mega squirt ????

is mega squirt the only thing we can use to tune with on the v6's?????if it is i would like to know how it works because every time i try to read up i read weird confusing things about it being a fuel control unit and how are you going top control all your other system.is there anyone that can put this system to me in easier term at least how it works.


thanks for all you time and answer it is much appreciated

nope, you can tune your stock computer. it isn't real easy to learn if you have no experience doing it but, it can be done.

megasquirt isnt the only thing u can use,but it is one of the better options,
though u cant control tcc lockup with it,but a simple lockup kit will do that.
also u would have to wire the fan to come on with the ignition.
not sure what to do about ur speedomoter tho8ugh since u have an electronic one.

From what I understand it's not actually the ECM that controls the speedo, but a buffer. Some of the other guys on 60* were talking about not having a speedo after the MS install, and they use a buffer out of the f-body to correct it.
