OK guys i need some help on this one... Im just about done building my motor and before i have it tuned i want to make sure i have all the kinks worked out. i dont want to show up at the tuners and have a bunch of problems and waste his and my time. Im always super busy during the day and dont have time to call and basically bug him on what i should do.. so im asking for your help..

91 Mustang 302
-stock bottom end
-studded
-clevite 77 bearings
-hellfire rings
-70MM turbo kit
-SVO Aluminum heads 1.96/1.60
-MLS gaskets
-1.6 pedestal roller rockers
-70mm Throttle body and EGR spacer
-Typhoon Intake

I have not yet got a mass air meter or fuel injectors.

Im not wanting to go out and beat the crap outta this thing before i get it tuned, just wanting to know what should i set my timing at and what i should be looking at for the fuel pressure.

A good friend of mine had his car tuned by Lidio and he told me he did a awesome job and was very informative on what all was going on with the car. Im hoping he will be able to help me out just as much. And like i said before im not wanting to call and bug him on this stupid stuff.
 
If you call and leave him a message with what you want to know he will give you a heads up before you go. He did for me .
 
set her at 10 with the spout pulled. and fuel pressure id like like 38-45 psi. Alternative will play with the rest.
 
if you have an adjustable TPS, set her up right (i forgot what the voltage should be set at, its been a while...google it.) If you dont have the air temp sensor, you need to install one and have it taped in the intake before u take it there or he will have to put a preset temp into the tune, or charge you to install it there.

Air temp sensor? My car does not have one and lidio mentioned nothing about it
 
I took my car out and ripped on it before the tune just to make sure of spark blowout my car was running real rich with the 60lb injectors before the tune so I knew it would be ok also make sure timing is a 10 with spout out like pete said
 
Your car does have an air temp sensor. All injected 5.0s have them.


Set base fuel pressure at 40-43 like peter stated. As far as timing if you want to drive it before a tune I'd set at 18 with spout out and leave it out. If you are trailering it then 10.

The one on the firewall?
 
Do you guys think I would be ok to set timing at 15 and cruise it around a lil bit. Like I said before this is a brand new motor with a brand new turbo. I just want to make sure everything is kosher
