I personally would forget about the Scanmaster and get a powerlogger instead. I also would get a wideband for tuning purposes in lieu of an EGT. Tuning without these two tools is nothing but guesswork. This is my two cents. Brad

will the glowshift wideband be good for it and do u have the 87 86 ecm in your car? all my guages are glowshift and can i use the powerlogger with the 85 ecm? thanks

powerlogger needs the 87 ECM...

I run a Walbro 340 and run mid twelves. I also use 42.5 injectors and a hot wire kit. Fueling is not a issue at these levels. Brad

You will have to get a new chip from TT and either have him program out the IAT or add it from Caspers. The coil module and coil pak will be needed to be upgraded to the 86/87 when the 84/85 setup fails. Caspers sells the adapter plate and wiring harness adapter. Brad

so the 85 coil and module are good for now?and should i keep the iat or delete it and i noticed that its idiling better but in acceleration i hear a faint rattle wasnt there this morning before the ecm swap ......thanks

Keep the 84/85 coil pak and module for now and save a few bucks. The IAT really does very little and is not needed. Some people like it just to be a purist. That is why you can have it programmed out of a TT chip. Brad
