looking for Alkyconrol's tuning thread

[YEEE85]

I'm a beginner with a all this tuning stuff and after an unfortunate and expensive mishap, I am looking to educate myself as much as possible before I jump back in and start repairing/modding my car. I talked to Julio from Alkycontrol a while back and he mentioned having posted a thread on tuning, and if I remember correctly specifically on hot air tuning. My car is an 85 all with 40k miles in very nice original condition with a couple dings and honest signs of its age- which almost makes me like it even more. I intend to install Alkycontrol methanol injection, 87 ecu, works turbo upgrade and ported iron heads, plus fuel pump, injectors and hotwire kit,bigger down pipe, etc and whatever else is needed to keep the engine healthy and support these mods. I want to make sure I have the right combination of parts so Im not taking any risks when I turn up boost and start tuning. Any information sources you could point me to would be really helpful. I am also planning on using a power logger and doing things correctly. Does anybody know where to find Julio's tuning info on here? Right now I'm recovering from shoulder surgery and have nothing but time on my hands and find this stuff really interesting.

The first thing to do is make sure the engine is in tune with no abnormalities. Abnormalities could mean it has a rod knock.. Spewing oil out the breathers.. blowing steam out of the exhuast.. etc.. Or lots of miles on the original plastic timing chain. As with rev'ing and racing an engine to its potential there are risks involved. Hopefully below the information contained will allow a properly operating motor to achieve its potential.

The use of a scanmasterII, direct scan, turbo link, etc to confirm numbers is my second step. I'll list a set of these numbers which are Turbo Buick...
