Does anyone know if you can tune a 89 2.3L Mustang LX with a laptop? If so, what all do I need to buy? I mean, I've done this before with a fuel injected Porsche so I am familiar with the procedure just not the specifics on this car. I assume that I need a connector for the under hood plugin, a laptop(obviously), and the software. What I need to know is where to get the plug and the software for this car. I have looked a little and had no luck whatsoever. I certainly can't be the only one wanting to do this considering how popular this motor is. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much...//peter

OK guys, I missunderstood

I was under the impresion that the ECU in the mustang was "tunable" to the point that certain ignition/timing/injection parameters were adjustable via aftermarket software and a laptop much like my megasquirt system on the Porsche. Obviously I didn't think it was "as configurable" as the megasquirt but I did think that some things were adjustable right from Ford by going that route. Again, i apologize for the ignorance. //drum

I wasn't trying to come off as condescending, there's no need to apologize. I was merely commenting.
