[tuner23] Re: KAM what is actually remembered?

[dcolvin_xr4@yahoo.com]

The Charles Probst book "Ford fuel injection & electronic engine 
control: all Ford/Lincoln-Mercury cars and light trucks, 1988 to 
current" is good, but not flawless in my opinion. 

I believe the title says for "1988 to current".

I agree that the '88 and beyond Ford mass air strategies do save fuel 
adjustments in KAM. However I do not agree that the 2.3L turbo vane 
air meter strategies also save fuel adjustments in KAM.

The 2.3L turbo Mustangs were first available in 1983, while the 5.0L 
mass air Mustangs were not available until 1988. 

I also remain skeptical that the Ford KAM strategy is capable of 
improving wide open throttle "track" times.
