K guys, today I got my first round of fun with an SCT XCalibrator 2 tuner on my 98 explorer. I bought 3 custom tunes from Doug at BAMA chips. He wrote an 87 octane economy tune, 87 octane performance tune, and 93 octane economy tune. He custom tuned it to meet the very minor mods I've done to the truck such as tire size, air filter etc.
The programmer lets me adjust the idle speed which made a HUGE day and night difference when waiting at a red light on a steep hill where the truck used to roll backwards. It lets me adjust ignition timing at all different RPM points, it lets me choose what speed to shift into each gear, it lets me change the rev limiter in drive and neutral, lets me increase the transmission line pressure, and also the wide open throttle A/F ratio. I haven't tried the performance tune yet, but this economy tune is already a great improvement. I'll give updates on the other tunes soon.:exp:
