Ed I'm not referring to factory computers, I'm referring to the aftermarket computer systems such as the Accel Calmap system I purchased back in the mid-90's. With my factory computer system, I recall putting a 350 V8 chip in my factory box, and from idle to 2400rpm, my engine sounded so strong, that I could've had my car running AF/SA back in the 90's! However, the set-up of that chip from 2400 on was too much for my engine, so it didn't work.
I sent over $100 bucks to a computer chip company that I asked to burn me a chip that would make my engine as lively over 2400rpm's on as that factory 350 truck V8 chip did, and I'd be happy as all get out! They couldn't do it, so I scrapped my factory computer and gave the Calmap a try. Thanks to computer savvy people such as Woodro Josey, V8 FI racers had a baseline to tune their computers off of, but there was no-one to set such a baseline for engines like mine....that's what I was talking about.
