FAST is relatively easy tune if you have experience with other standalone systems. I wouldn’t recommend tuning any standalone without prior experience unless you are willing to invest alot of time and frustration. But it can be done and you need to start somewhere…

For an initial tune Megasquirt is cheap and easy. It’s the details that will take the time. On the positive side the MegaSquirt online forums can be extremely helpful and you usually can find a “base tune” for your application on [msruns.com](http://msruns.com). I can supply assembled base Megasquirt kits for $375 +shipping. For details on these kits (or to order them directly) go to: [Engine Management | KPTuned.com](http://kptuned.com/new-page/)

DIY’s harness is nice and the the wires are nicely labeled!

Thanks, I’ll pass that on to Rob!

Based on the weight of the car, the Mustang dyno WCF numbers and the dyno/ ET calculator we use (which has proven very accurate on slower cars) the car should have run 8.988. So he was very close. However, at these horsepower levels there are way too many variables involved to be extremely accurate.
