*Engine management systems

I have tuned Megasquirt, Microtech, PFC, Haltech, and SAFCs (if you want to call that tuning). In my humble opinion, Haltech is the best bang for the buck. I caution against the E6X because of the different reluctor used in that model. Get the E8 or E11 if you can afford it, or an E6k which is what I use.

*Ignition, Oil, and Fuel upgrade tips

Asking about ignition is going to get you a hundred different answers. I was running a single Jacobs Pro Pak on JUST the leading stock coils. Made 497 wheel. I also did this on a single Walbro pump something a lot of "gurus" here will tell you cant be done (they might also tell you I spray alchohol, dont listen to them.. Lies I tell ya!!!) My ignition is now a Jacobs FC1000. Dont need the 2000 because the Haltech already has a rev limiter. I also run 890 primaries and 1680 Ford Secondaries.

I could go on forever about timing, but I run crazy advances. My engine builder saw the map I was using once and about passed out. Probably shouldnt listen to me on timing...

*Tuning responsabilities

Not sure what you mean here.....

*A/R ratio's fitting to my needs

Yet another topic of debate. I run mid to low 11s at full boost with a little lean out in the spool up area, but I also run alot of timing. Some people will disagree, some will agree. At the end of the day, its all up to what you. I also run an MSD Knock Box that lets me know when knock is starting. Pretty handy tool if you ask me!

Let me know what other questions you have.
