thanks man the grouping helps alot. Why did you put the xdf's name as $FB, does the name have any relation to anything? like Bbpa5D and Arbp 5D?

Can anyone help me put with an xdf for my VP bin? The xdf's ive been able to download give odd readings, like 88 degree spoark advances n stuff...i noticed b4 someone said that VP's use the $5D.xdf? I downloaded this..i think... O yeah i bought an APU1. Thanks guys.

I know that not dialing in a cam after doing those sort of mods can cause a bit of hastle. But im pretty sure that the reason you've got no power is that your cam is way to big. Im maxing out a buick V6 myself, its N/A, race pistons...porting.... and the cam i have chosen is 216 @50 thou, now...

When converting a car to LPG a new tune is required because it is different fuel. Now when running dual fuel there is has to be a compromise, its either tuned to run alright on both fuels, or better on one rather than the other. My guess would be that whoever has done your LPG conversion tuned...

Hey guys im gettin closer to gettin my new engine in (ACL race pistons, porting, big cam...) and was wondering if anyone has upgraded their ignition system before...what was it, was it worth doing, will i need it? Im not looking to spend really big, but i just get the feeling my ignition...

sorry bout all the questions man, but you then plug the ostrich into a laptop right?

hey spanners as far as i can tell, the only diff between the APU-1 n the ostrich is that the APU-1 connects directly to the eprom and the ostrich still runs off the ALDL? Is that true? or are there other differences?

This is an awsome thread which i rekon should get started back up. Reading through this thread there was alot of talk about Real Time tuning, i dunno if this stuff was available at the time but at Welcome to www.moates.net! : Moates.Net they have awsome loking RT tuners like this APU1...
