I'm trying to properly retune my TSTE for having a Getrag 282, Crane H260 cam and Ford C302 (yellowtop) injectors. The motor's just a rebuilt 3.1. I've been using TunerPro RT with Ostrich 2.0. I don't have a wideband (I know, that's my first problem). But I'm trying to at least get idle/vacuum driving tuned without much luck.

I kinda need somebody with some experience that might be able to spot other problems that need to be fixed prior to tuning. I've spent a lot of time trying to retune the fuel tables, first by finding a happy BPC then by tuning the RPM & vacuum fuel tables (I've also tried messing with nAst1, but don't want to delve any further into it at this point). I think I may have some voltage problems too, so I'm going to try replacing ground/power cables and the alternator. I believe that I have the basic methodology down, but I want to make sure I'm at least going in the right direction, or for someone with a better 'feel' for this who might be able to give me a hand.

I'm in North Kingstown, RI. Car is currently not road capable (due to tuning) nor legal, but it can at least be driven around the neighborhood at low speed, for now.

kthx.
