Matt,

I am completely new to this stuff. I haven't bought anything yet but I wanted to make sure that if I pour money into this I won't get stuck. I have called a dealership, different dynotuning places, and even compucam to see if I can get ahold of a base fuel map but it seems like nobody has one. Compucams actually forwarded me to an aftermarket ECU system that told me their fuel maps would be completely different for what I am wanting to do. So my question to you is how/where did you find a base fuel map to at least get your engine running. I have a 1987 F150 with a 302. I have a 351W from a 1993 F350 lined up with wiring harness, sensors, and computer included. The problem is that the system is speed density and would need to be retuned every time I make a modification to the engine and I found that it would be a lot cheaper to go this route than to spend 400 at a dyno every time I make a modification. Thanks for the help. It is easier to reach me at my email, christopher.bingman@usma.edu, thanks.

- Chris
