I went with Mega Squirt...no regrets..its infinitely tune able down to Stoich on Wide Band 02's etc. Spent a year playing around with EECs via Ford...could not get them to work right..800.00 for Mega, runs good now.

Yep, I went from Speed Density to MAF, via Fiveology, and it worked with a Cobra EEC, on a stock 302, but once I went to a stroker, it ran like crap. My Motor was built to be reliable, and my cam is mild, and heads are only mildly ported...nothing nuts, so pretty annoying it wouldn't run right meaning I feel your pain. I finally went to a Megasquirt , and found a good dyno shop to tune it. Honestly the tuning is everything..Motor easy, tuning makes the difference 1000% ..Good Luck!

Yep i will need the luck.there is no rush so I have the time to plan it out.the tuner part will be the hard part here in Yuma.so it will most likely be Me little by little.I think when I went to good Heads,Intake With BBK Throttle Body my M.A.F./is match to the fuel Inj. But the stock Mustang P.C.M it is chocking down So Megasquirt here we Go!!

I am not sure if you can get a baseline and go from there, on Mega, check it out.. I originally had a chip burnt for EEC, but it never worked right, other then keeping engine from stalling..sort of..lol...For Mega, I had to write down all my stuff ( injector size etc ), and hand it the the Tuner, plus Cam, heads..you know all this this. If you can tune yourself, even slowly, you the man..me, nope..I was terrified so I had someone else do it:). If you need the one I got, I can go work find the box....
