Default Vinci Handheld Tuner Questions

I recently purchased a '99 SS to ease the pain of trading in my '99 'vert on my wife's Hemi Jeep. I thought I'd leave it alone, but that's obviously not going to happen.

I'm considering purchasing a Vinci hand-held tuner, but I'm curious if there's a differance between it and the Crane tuner sold by Summit, etc.

I'm also wondering if once I install the FTRA I have on the way should I richen the fuel with the tuner if I decide to get one, or will the PCM compensate for any additional air flow?

As is, the car has a Loudmouth, lid, Granatelli MAF, and a few suspension mods.

Thanks,

Mark

I would like to maybe make the suggestion to replace your Granatelli MAF with a stock MAF. Your computer is not calibrated for a MAF with a higher flow, like the Granatelli.

yes, i do with both cars. that's where you can use the -10% timing. that's about 3* pulled.

back when the wife's car had those mods, i used the hiperf/stock cam with +10% timing advance. (here comes the disclaimer) honestly though, best way to figure it out would be on a dyno. buy some time and tune it.

If you have a custom cam you can use 10% timing on cam #1 make sure you have 92 or 93 octane running in the car. So there is no engine pinging. I have there cam 56 set on cam#3 great handheld if you know how to use it.
