Kevin Shasteen Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 I cant remember who asked this; if it was pertaining to someone's Ford or Chevy instal into a Z. I recently purchased two books from Barnes & Noble on the Ford 5.0 & one of them touched on ECU's. It stated they were Automatic & Standard Transmission Specific! However, they did not go into detail as to why! I'm not usually a Ford V8 promoter but I couldnt pass up one of these books as it had so much information I had to buy it; the other book I bought to compliment the previous. The first book I feel every Ford 5.0 guy should have. It goes thru every possible upgrade on a 5.0 eng & Dyno's each upgrade: Im talking "2000 Dyno Pulls" Incredibly put into one book. The book has Dyno Pulls from Factory Setups, Induction Systems, Exhuast Systems, Ignition Systems, Cams/Valvetrains, Superchargers & Stroker Kits: you get a true perspective on what parts make power & which parts dont! Very Instructive! Wish someone would make a "DYNO TEST" book on the SBC. Anyway, the Ford book's title is: "5.0L Ford Dyno Tests" by Richard Holdener Copywrit @ 2000 Published by: Cartech Inc, 11605 Kost Dam Rd, North Branch MN 55056 Overseas Distribution by: Brooklands Books Ltd, PO Box 146, Cobham, Surrey, KT11 1LG, England PH#01932.865051 For you Auzie's: Brooklands Books Ltd, 1/81 Darley Street, PO Box 199, Mona Vale, NSW 2103, Austrailia ph#2.999.78428 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 A side note about the ECU, is that the auto trans computer can be installed on standard car for a small improvement in power as the auto ECU has a more aggressive timing curve.
