do you know what that computer does? ... its governing so many goodies that honestly, in most cases its a cam shaft away and an intelligent OBD reflash away from wild iron status.
timing advance, absolute limits, how it relates to RPM, load ... its all in there.
fuel map, accelerator pump volume .. its all in there.
transmission shift points .. its in there.
so theres your hot rod ignition system, infinate carb jet option in a system that'll meet or beat the flow of a holly domminator, and a shift kit...
all it cant do is change the cam for you until we get into the newer modular ford V8's which CAN cut back even the wildest grinds to a nice pedestrian idle while maintaining ideal performance over a wider band than the old school fixed duration cam.
a lot can be done with access to the programming.
