Lightbulb What should a good tune sound like?

I was wondering what A GOOD FUEL TUNING SOUNDS LIKE? i know this sounds like a weird question, but I don't think everybody who modifies their cars down here has the right idea. what I ussually hear is like a lot of backfiring; a sort of "PLAP". My guess is that they strapped on a big turbo and their runnning lean. IF you haven't figured out I'm really wet behind the ears when it comes this stuff, so easy with the flaming people, I'm sensitive.

thanks for your time

Backfiring is caused by running rich, not lean...

thanks for pointing that out.

so how can I tell a bad tune from a good one, is there things, specfic things that I should look for?

and what sound would a lean condition bring about?

How about "Easy Skanking" by Bob Marley?

Wow, Montego Bay. Spent a lot of time there in the early 80's on business trips. I was the only white guy in Detroit during January at that time with a tan.

Cool runnin' mon.
