Tweecer tuning hyperpathetic pistons?

procharge94 · 05-05-2005, 03:58 PM

What are the chances of successfully tuning a boosted 302 block with hyperpathetics WITHOUT destroying the pistons? Purchasing a Tweecer, or similar tuner, is more cost efficient in the long run, but ONLY if I do not destroy the pistons. This is a stock SN95 bottom end with an ATI Procharger with a 9lb. pulley.

My plan was to purchase a Tweecer, conservatively tune the car myself, and then pay for an hour on a dyno in order to more finely improve the tuner's parameters. But this is all contingent on not blowing the motor up in the process.

With that in mind. Which do you think is a wiser purchase, a Tweecer or an EEC-Tuner? I will installing a wideband O2 independently in order to self-tune my AFR.

i would go with a tweecer or a pms. i use the pms on my vert and my lincoln. anderson gives good tech support. toss a coin to decide. i have never used a tweecer, but i read good things about it. the aem gets good feedback also.

Thanks for the input. As of right now, I was going to go with the Zeitronix Zt-2 wideband in order to datalog my AFR, boost, and EGT. Then use the regular Tweecer(not the R/T) to tune according to the data that will be logged from the Zt-2. Basically, I'm tired of sitting around researching what routes to take in order to tune my car; I'm just going to do it and figure it out along the way. I see no reason as to why this won't work, and work well.

Look at SCT's Racer Tuner package. Its pretty full functioned and along with their Xcalibrator-2 unit allows multiple programs w/ datalogging capability.
