EFIDynoTuning Forum

I'm guessing that this is the one I want (I apologize for my extreme ignorance)?

[AGANF] 1996-1997 Trucks 4.9/5.0/5.8/7.5 w/ Manual or E4OD transmissions.

I've read through this one the other day but will study it closer now that I know it's for sure the right one.

What will total cost end up looking like if I go with a custom tune? I see $450 for membership and $250 for a quarterhorse... how much is the tune itself? What else, if anything, is needed?

I pulled the ECU. Which number am I looking for?

Tried posting a picture, but no luck. Anyhow, this is what I see -

ML1-441 ELT0 (largest font)

bar code

Remanufactured FHB---10KR2W
F6PF-12A650-AZA G NPF 03H05

ok, I'll look into pulling the ECM out and taking a look. Any way to see the label without removing? I'm actually planning to do some interior work this weekend (wiring in new lights), so could pull the kick panel and have a look.

No need in a chip the quarterhorse is all that's needed. I wouldn't be concerned about the battery on it.

How do I determine the ECU?

I'm ready to start ordering parts as soon as I figure out the end game! Ready to get this thing running top notch!

That's what I wanted to hear. I've done a lot of mods in the past that didn't meet expectations, so am trying not to set this one up too high. Other than donating to become a premium member, what kind of costs am I looking at? I'm figuring it'll be ~800 total... does that sound right?

What all am I going to need to get started? I've read through the getting started but am having trouble pinpointing what would be needed for my specific application.

Howdy folks -

Last year I swapped a 427 in the place of the worn out 351 in my 1996 Bronco. I added the standard stuff - intake, headers, exhaust, etc. I'm using the factory Ford EFI and programming. I upgraded to 30lb injectors and a calibrated MAF from PRO-M. Overall, she is running good, but I haven't gotten the timing dialed in perfectly as I can still hear some pinging in certain situations. I haven't touched the tuning but feel that I'm probably leaving some power/effeciency/driveability on the table. I don't know much about tuning, so I'm hoping that y'all can educate me a bit before I take the plunge (want to make sure this is the right direction before spending $$$).

I reached out to a couple of local(ish) shops last year after the swap only to find that they were backed up several months. Since they are all 50+ miles away, I didn't press or stay in contact because I basically didn't want to have to go there multiple times to get this thing dialed in. After dpoing some more google searching recently, I stumbled upon this site and am intrigued.

Thoughts on how y'all could help? What should my expectations be? I don't know much about the internals of the engine (I had it built... I do have the cam specs and calibration sheet from the MAF though) nor how much power it makes. I've read through a lot of the getting started stuff on the site and most doesn't apply to my situation, but still think I could get something out of the motor with some custom tuning.

I'm all ears and am ready to learn!
