These AFPR's are "old school". Nowadays most people are using some type of software for tuning. My 88vert is tuned on an SCT chip. I used 60lb injectors this time around and using injectors that large require the use of software.
When I got done bolting the new HCI, blower, and supporting parts together I took it to the dyno for tuning. The first thing my tuner did was set a base FP he was happy with using my adjustable regulator. Then he did the rest of the tuning on the laptop. That may very well be the last time that AFPR will ever see action. "Who knows"
But,, there are alot of folks out there that don't want to spend the money for tuning software to tune their car.
Therefore, the "oldschool" method of adjusting the FPR and distributor is how its done to achieve a safe acceptable A/F ratio. Basic and primitive I know but it works.
I have a friend right now with a supercharged '94 Saleen S351R code. His car is currently making 561rwhp/565rwtq. He doesn't use software, just an oldschool AFPR and distributor. A/F is perfect.
I rode around in my supercharged '89SSC for more than 10 years with no tuning software whatsoever. Just basic A/F adjustments made on the dyno from the AFPR and distributor.
It ran flawless, made 450 at the tires, passed emissions, had cold A/C, and was blast to drive. There's something to be said for "old school"
Hey, its all fun guys! We all do things differently, that's all.
Some say I'm long winded. NOT MEEE! . LOL
Save your breath, these guys don't get it. They all think they know what is needed based on a bunch of crap they have read on the internet.
They haven't been around long enough to realize computer tuning didn't hit mainstream until after the foxbody was already out of production. That's 10 years of extremely fast and reliable cars without a dyno or chip.
Old school works as well (and in most times better) than new school because most guys that tune foxes with chips have no clue what they are doing with a fox, it's not a 96+ like they are all used to and they make the cars worse not better.
Sometimes less really is more.
