Do lots and lots of reading. The stock computer doesn't know how much HP you're making.

Do lots and lots of reading. The stock computer doesn't know how much HP you're making. | the technition at saturn said stock computer can't handle bigger injectors. and also doesn't know what to do with the timing if you raise the compresion and port the head, it would through codes, which then it wouldn't pass emissions. this technition has a 10sec SC2, but its the OBD1 system. I don't know if thats all true with the OBD2 system.

you only need a custom computer too get the FULL amount of power from your mods
you will still see some gains without computer modifications | |

Get a megasquirt or an SAFC for tuning.
