the 4.0's ECU is stupid awesome for some reason. its untuneable but with an adjustable MAP and AFC you can get it to 95% perfect. the timing adjusts itself pretty well.

Really? that surprises me, especially about the timing. Have you got some details on this setup? I'm not sure I know what you mean when you say adjustable MAP, I know what a MAP sensor is but i have never heard of an adjustable one - the AFC I presume is some kind off piggyback computer that adjusts the fueling.

Do the standard injectors have enough extra flow?
