Who uses this? The 91 coupe that I bought came with TWEECER already installed along with 5 setting tune selector. I'm about done with my 331 build and will be dropping it in soon. I need to pointed in the right direction to get started. What do I need to download or do I just hook my laptop up to the computer?

Thanks

There are also 2 yahoo groups that discuss the tweecer.

Depending on how into it you are, I would suggest going for a good quality dyno tune and not bother with the tweecer. The learning curve is very steep and in my experience I was always messing with it. You need to know what your messing with and understand what happens when you change things.

If you really want to do this yourself. In order to hook it up to your PC/Laptop you need to get the twEECer R/T and purchase a copy of CalEdit/Calcon, a compatible BIN for your ECR and time (lots of time to understand what you're doing) By time you have this you could have your car tuned (as I stated earlier).

The website for the Tweecer is:
http://www.tweecer.com/
You can download Caledit and Calcon from the downloads link, no cost.
Read the install guide.
Join the Yahoo support group on the support link.
There are some Youtube videos you can watch too:

Mike Glover (the developer of this device) is pretty responsive on the Yahoo support group.
Good Luck, there is LOTS to learn, and LOTS to fiddle with. I haven't touched mine in a few years, but will be getting my shortblock back soon and start playing again....

The basics..timing, fuel, and spark (all adjustable on the tweecer). There are even several different ways to adjust all that on the tweecer as well. What does the current car have and how does it run? To be honest if you are running MAF on the new combo the fox computer can adjust very well to your new combination without the tweecer (as long as the cam is not too excessive for the combo and you are only adjusting timing and fuel pressure). It will not run perfect, but that is where the tweecer/tuning comes in...

My car had a stock 302 in it with a b cam & 24lbs injectors & Tweecer is already installed. Im about to drop in the new motor this weekend. so right now the engine bay is naked.
