    FWD still making trimcals?

    I have an 85 Charger that has been upgraded to 87 GLHS electronics.

    Do you make trimcals for this setup? I plan on upgrading to 3 bar bigger injectors etc.

    shooting for like 20 lbs boost.

    Upgrade 87 GLHS electronics to 87 TII electronics and open the world of possibilities with 3 bar map and big injectors.

    Yeh probably should have taken the extra step but didn't realize at the time the cals would be so limited. Guess if it comes to that....

    Trimcals allow user to monitor engine sensor data in real time from inside the car. Items monitored include coolant temp, TPS volts, Battery volts, inj. pulse width, O2 volts, Map volts, knock and injector duty cycle. Comes with 4 preset boost levels which can be adjusted on the fly, and the user will be able to adjust both fuel and spark either +5%, +10%, 0, -5%, -10%. Requirements include aircharge temp sensor, 3 bar map sensor, +40% injectors, adj. FPR and intercooled set-up

    I would be happy with just a custom tune on the GLHS electronics. The stock cal doesnt work the greatest with +20s.

    How do you monitor that stuff? Does it come with a digital readout of some sort, or does it require a laptop and a program?

    I have purchased all the necessary parts to make that upgrade.

    Kind of in the same boat, I'm running the 87 GLHS electronics with +20s and an adjustable AFPR tuned down 20%....lol They were in the plans for something bigger, but I decided to go with the siemens 0555 55lb/hr injectors instead. In a side note, some stainless steel +20 will be for sale soon(new as of about 5,000 miles ago).

    Also, from the ones I've seen in the past the trimcal display is sweet.....
