Page 5: Part I Introduction
Edelbrock Pro-Tuner Series Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) "Total Engine Management" That’s the slogan for Edelbrock’s Pro-Tuner EFI Systems, powered by Mototron Electronic Control Units (ECU). Pro-Tuner EFI Systems include everything needed to convert any engine to powerful electronic fuel injection; with user programmable features and full ignition control as well as fuel delivery.
Page 6 Before reading this manual and installing your new system, it is important to understand that your Edelbrock EFI system is more than fuel injection. It is an Engine Management System. In addition to controlling the fueling of your engine, the system will also be controlling ignition, idle airflow, monitoring sensor health, and running other optional actuator outputs.

(ECM) converts the analog inputs to digital signals and processes them within the 32 bit microprocessor. Outputs are conditioned as required for the assigned purpose. Your Edelbrock system is capable of three different fuel/timing control strategies. Modeled speed density uses sensor inputs along with a volumetric efficiency (VE) table...
Page 13 to estimate the airflow through the engine. The air fuel target table is used in conjunction with this calculated airflow to control the injector pulsewidth. The MAP-N strategy uses a base fuel map that varies as a function of engine speed and manifold pressure.
Page 14 many conditions in which they should not be exposed – such as detonation or excessive temperatures. It is your job as a calibrator to balance all of the factors for your specific combination and program the best target values into the ECM that you can while keeping the engine in a safe operating window.
Page 15: Vehicle Installation
If you do not understand a procedure, contact the Edelbrock hotline. If you do not have the necessary skill or tools to perform any of the operations, consult a professional dealer/installer for assistance.
Page 16 Check automatic transmission shift points before removal of the stock system, and • adjust linkage after Edelbrock manifold installation for same shift points if needed. Determining Hood Clearance 1. CHECK HOOD CLEARANCE BEFORE REMOVING STOCK MANIFOLD. Use modeling clay or putty to make five small cones 2-3” high.
Page 17 AFTER MEASUREMENT: COMPARING HEIGHT OF STOCK INTAKE ASSEMBLY AND VICTOR PRO TUNER ASSEMBLY. 1. Remove air cleaner from stock assembly. 2. Lay a straightedge across top of carburetor flange front to rear. 3. Measure from bottom of straightedge to manifold/block sealing surface of manifold at front and rear of engine.
Page 18 EMISSION CONTROLS: The Edelbrock Victor and Super Victor Engine Management Systems will not accept stock emission control systems. Check local laws for requirements before installing this system. Not legal on pollution controlled applications.
Page 19 HEADERS: For best performance, headers are recommended. Consult Edelbrock or your exhaust supplier for recommendations on header, pipe, and muffler specifications for your combination. INSTALLING THE EFI INTAKE MANIFOLD: The procedure for installing your new EFI manifold is nearly identical to installing a carbureted manifold.
Page 20 Embossed side faces up. NOTE: In some cases, there may be a different right and left side gasket. Make sure both are placed correctly. 2. Coat head surface and both sides of gaskets with Edelbrock Gasgacinch #9300. 3. Apply Loctite 598 OEM High Temperature Silicone Gasket around water passages on head surface.
Page 21 5. Re-connect throttle linkage and springs, transmission, cruise control, and fuel lines. Check all linkage for smooth throttle operation from idle to Wide Open Throttle (WOT). Note: Do not install with a throttle rod, use a cable actuated throttle. Throttle rods can transfer engine movement to the throttle and possible lead to binding.
Page 22: Fuel System Installation
Fuel System FUEL SYSTEM BASICS Because your Edelbrock Pro Tuner system controls fuel delivery very differently than a carburetor, some conversions to your fuel system may be necessary. Victor/Super Victor Pro-Tuner electronic fuel injection requires high and constant fuel volume and fuel pressure.
Page 23 Figure 2 FUEL PUMP AND FILTER The Victor/Super Victor Pro-Tuner system uses a single Edelbrock high-pressure electric fuel pump which is capable of pumping 50 or more psi (depending upon the pump). The pump relay will prime the system on key-up and shut down the pump if it does not receive an engine-run signal from the ECU, as in the case of a stall.
Page 24 FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR Fuel pressure is as important as fuel volume, particularly in fuel injection. The Victor/ Super Victor Pro-Tuner system requires that the fuel pressure regulator maintains a constant pressure at the injectors. It is recommended that Manifold Absolute Pressure references the regulator diaphragm to maintain constant pressure across all 8 injectors, regardless of fluctuating manifold pressure (vacuum) level.
Page 25 2. Use the vehicle’s existing primary line as the fuel return line with modification to the pick up as described below. 3. Use the vehicle’s existing return line (if so equipped) as the fuel return line. This option applies only to vehicles previously equipped with fuel injection. If the vehicle is not already equipped with a return line, some fuel tank modifications are required for routing the return line through the sending unit plate back into the tank.
Page 26 nut. Connect a length (at least 4 inches) of flexible return line (rubber or braided hose) to the fitting end. Connect the return line to the fuel pickup line using tie wraps. NOTE: THIS METHOD REQUIRES NO WELDING OF THE FUEL SYSTEM. NOTE: Whichever method you use to install the return fuel line, be careful to keep the end of the line away from the fuel pickup, as shown.
Page 27 Installation and Setup Figure 6 Solder or weld the return hard line to the fuel pickup line.
Page 28 Figure 7 - Completed return line installation FUEL SYSTEM INSTALLATION 1. Disconnect the vehicle battery. 2. Drain the fuel tank. 3. Remove all lines from the tank and carburetor. 4. Remove the fuel tank if sender plate is inaccessible. While fuel tank is removed from vehicle, it is recommended that it be professionally cleaned in order to remove any rust or dirt that may have accumulated inside which could damage the injectors.
Page 29 3. Install the top of each injector into the fuel rail; carefully inserting the injector to avoid pinching or damaging the sealing O-ring. Orient the injector so that the connector is facing outward. (The outside of the rail has the Edelbrock logo on the side).
Page 30: Ecu And Main Harness Installation
Injectors should not bind in the ports. You should be able to rotate them slightly. A typical rail installation is illustrated in Figure 9. 3.2.2 ECU and Main Harness Installation ECU and Main Harness Figure 9 Visit us at: http://www.edelbrock.com...
Page 31 2. Mount the ECM and relays using only the grommets, bushing's, and washers provided. Use the Edelbrock ECU mounting bracket shown below for proper mounting and flexible orientation. These parts are specially engineered to insure proper isolation of the ECM.
Page 32 3. Insure that the ECM case does not touch or rub against anything, particularly metal or wiring. The case voltage sources. 4. Do not mount hardware in such a manner as to cause stress on the harness. Do not pull, stretch, or kink wires and connectors. Minimize effect of engine torque movement on short sections of harness.
Page 33 Installation and Setup Figure 11 - 80 pin Super Victor PCM The ECM (48 pin) or PCM (80 pin) controllers mount using specially designed bushing's and isolation grommets. When installing the mounts, first install the rubber grommets into the 3 mounting holes. Insert the bushing from the BACKSIDE of the grommet.
Page 34 To mount the ECM or PCM inside the vehicle, a hole will have to be made in the firewall for the harness and connectors to pass through. A firewall bulkhead grommet and cover plate is included to seal the hole and support the harness where it passes through the firewall, or you can make your own.

Once cranking / starting performance is acceptable, the areas most tuners will address next are: 1.
Page 118: Volumetric Efficiency Map
4.3.2 Volumetric Efficiency Map Visit us at: http://www.edelbrock.com Volumetric Efficiency Map The Volumetric Efficiency map is a representation of your engine's airflow characteristics. It needs to be properly calibrated for the control strategies to accurately determine fueling under all speed and load conditions, and to provide accurate altitude compensation.
Page 119 Basic Tuning with the Pro Tuner System The map is ordinated against RPM and Pressure Ratio. Pressure ratio is defined as manifold pressure over baro. It can be thought of as an indicator of load. As the pressure...
Page 120 ratio goes up, the load is also increasing, and manifold vacuum is decreasing. To manipulate the map image and map functions, see 3D chart manipulation . Tuning Tips: The tuner has 3 methods of tuning the VE map. Once it is dialed in, you do not need to change it unless you change the engine airflow significantly.
Page 121: Spark Advance Map
Basic Tuning with the Pro Tuner System 4.3.3 Spark Advance Map Visit us at: http://www.edelbrock.com Spark Advance Map The spark map is one of the three main base combustion maps. The others are the VE or Base Fuel map, and the Air/Fuel target map. These three maps need to be calibrated throughout the range before significant work is put into tuning transients, idle, starting, or warm up.
Page 123 Basic Tuning with the Pro Tuner System Tuning Tips: Spark advance is specific to the engine combination. However, trends can be applied across various engines. The goal in determining optimum spark advance is to use the minimum spark advance required to maintain best torque at each speed/load point. Note that you can draw a comparison between a typical mechanical advance curve (for a carbureted application) and a fully programmable 3-D table as shown above.
Page 124: Target Air/Fuel Ratio Map
4.3.4 Target Air/Fuel Ratio Map Visit us at: http://www.edelbrock.com Target Air/Fuel Ratio Map The Target AFR map is where you input your desired fueling based on speed and load. To learn about chart and map functions and features, see the 3D chart manipulation section.
Page 125 Basic Tuning with the Pro Tuner System Tuning Tips:...
Page 126 A stoichiometric ratio is 14.7:1. If you have your preferences set to display in equivalence ratio, 1.0 is a stoichiometric ratio. Generally, high performance engines will run best at that ratio or less (richer). At idle and light load, the AFR can usually be at or near 14.0-14.8.

Page 128: Accel/Decel Fuel Settings
4.3.5 Accel / Decel Fuel Settings Visit us at: http://www.edelbrock.com Accel/Decel Fuel Settings To access the Transient Fuel Map, select the Accel/Decel Fuel Settings from the drop down list in the Tools menu.
Page 129 Basic Tuning with the Pro Tuner System Tips for Tuning: It is important to remember that the Accel/Decel strategy will tune deceleration as well as acceleration and load dump fueling. Start modifications conservatively! ALWAYS complete and optimize ALL steady state mapping and idle calibration before tuning transient running! Otherwise your base fueling may be affected by transient settings.
Page 130 controller will lookup a calibrated value in the table/s and multiply the fueling by that amount and decreasing until there is no meaningful difference between the Raw and Filtered values. So if the Raw sensor value has changed a great deal in a short period, the delta (or difference) will be large, which will require a greater amount of transient fueling in that cell of the table to maintain the desired AFR for that period than a small delta would.
Page 131 Basic Tuning with the Pro Tuner System value other than that will act as a global transient multiplier. It is better to only use the main delta tables to tune the transient at operating temperature! A multiplier value in the transient maps or ECT Trans Fuel Mult Tbl is a function of percentage.
Page 132: Closed Loop Compensation (Clc) Map
4.3.6 Closed Loop Compensation (CLC) map Visit us at: http://www.edelbrock.com Closed Loop Compensation (CLC) Closed Loop Compensation (CLC) map - Fuel Adaption The Closed Loop Compensation (CLC) map is a map where the fuel pulse width is dynamically adjusted to provide the engine the desired air/fuel ratio by applying a multiplier to the fueling to correct for any error which may exist in the base fuel map or dynamic flow changes in the rails or injectors.
Page 133 Basic Tuning with the Pro Tuner System The map can be edited just like any of the other main maps. See 3D chart Manipulation. Tips for tuning: The CLC map is adapted at the rate dictated by the Fuel Adapt Gain table. It is desirable to adapt the map slowly over time so that the system will capture evolving changes in the engine's condition and not adapt instantaneous values that may not be accurate.
Page 134 table is a function of speed and load, and is calibrated manually or adapted as a multiplier on base fueling. This means that a value of 1.00 equals the calibrated base fueling and no change is being applied to the end pulse width of the injector. A value of 1.10 equals 10% more fuel is being delivered than is mapped to make the actual AFR equal the desired mapped AFR.

4.3.8 A/C Load Compensation Visit us at: http://www.edelbrock.com A/C Load Compensation A/C Load Compensation Insure that the ECU input wire for A/C clutch sensing is correctly configured before continuing. Note: When wiring A/C load compensation, Pin M (PCM80) / Pin A (ECM48) in expansion connector must be pulled to ground when A/C compressor is energized.
Page 137 Basic Tuning with the Pro Tuner System Generally, the most compensation is required at the lowest speeds & loads. In the tables this would mean the low percentages of throttle opening. The amount of load compensation required decreases with an increase in throttle opening. The tables work together to maintain engine speed when a sudden load is applied.

Visit us at: http://www.edelbrock.com VE Estimator Tool In most cases, the Volumetric Efficiency map in the Pro-Tuner default calibration provides a good base for initial startup and tuning. Alternatively, the VE Estimator Tool can be used as a good way to quickly get a base Volumetric Efficiency Map in the calibration for initial tuning.
Page 179 Advanced Tuning with the Pro Tuner System Use the normal 3D Map manipulation methods to rotate and scale the 3D display or change the font size of the table. The map immediately applies changes to the VE map in the ecu calibration. You can revert to the previous map, or reload the original map. Unless you have an unusual combination - for which you would need to use the VE Estimator, the VE map that is in your ECU after initial programming is usually very good to get started with.

With an...
Page 192 However, if it is used with an approved cam sensor it can provide individual cylinder control. Discuss the cam sensor options for use with the flying magnet trigger with your Edelbrock support expert. Individual Cylinder Fueling Control (Pro Option Only) The FuelMult1-4 Maps provide individual cylinder offset to optimize power and economy.
Page 193 Features Available with Pro option only Tips for tuning: The fueling maps for each cylinder act as multipliers, offsetting the fuel from the base value. That is, a value of 1.0 is NO change from the base fueling. A multiplier greater or less than 1.0 will change the fueling for that cylinder by that percentage from the base value.
Page 194 to the base spark map values for the cylinder being adjusted. This feature can help compensate for differences between cylinders due to fueling or airflow differences, or exhaust, combustion chamber, or temperature variation of a cylinder from the other cylinders. When used properly in combination with the individual fueling control; the engine can be tuned for optimum performance and reliability.
Page 195 Features Available with Pro option only Tips for tuning: Unlike the individual fuel maps; the individual spark tables are NOT a multiplier table. The entered value represents a number of crankshaft degrees of timing difference from the main spark advance map for the load/speed point. So, if no change from base advance is desired - simply enter "0"...
Page 196 Tips for tuning: It is recommended only VERY experienced tuners change the values in the Fuel Adapt Gain table. Gains too aggressive will cause instability or non-typical values to be adapted to the CLC map, particularly if an O2 sensor begins to fail. Small gains are strongly recommended.
Page 197 Features Available with Pro option only Tips for tuning: The table is an offset to the main Spark Advance map. It is based on coolant temperature in degrees C. or degrees F. (Whichever you have chosen as your desired units of temperature in the application settings.) A value of "0"...
Page 198 In Speed/Throttle (Alpha-N) mode or Speed/Density mode, there is the ability to adjust a global trim for spark advance based upon MAP. This can be useful if ignition characteristics change greatly with ambient air pressure. While not often needed, the MAP Spark Trim table can be helpful in providing a global spark retard for a very hot intake charge in order to help avoid detonation.
Page 199 Tips for tuning: Note: This table should only be adjusted by experienced tuners! In general, this table should need no adjustment and the calibration will be loaded for you by the setup wizard based upon your O2 sensor selection. Although the table defines a band around stoich, as a performance tuner - you generally only have to think about the rich limit that you want to allow closed loop operation to occur, since performance engines very seldom are tuned leaner than stoichiometric anyway.

This functionality basically "learns" via an advanced ECU strategy how to keep the air/fuel mixture at your requested Target Air Fuel Ratio.
Page 211 Features Available with Pro option only You may run single or dual GM digital mass airflow sensors in Speed/Density, greatly increasing the adaptability of your system. You may choose to run MAF sensor/s as a permanent installation for continuous learning of the VE map and compensation for engine airflow mods or engine wear and degradation.
Page 212 the indicator is below the green band, it indicates that the system is "taking out" airflow and the values in the map are too high. The LEARN / LEARN INACTIVE LED will light when the ECU is actively adapting. Typically, adaptation will take several minutes to "hone in" at different steady state loads and speeds before it is complete.
Page 213 The "Learn Disabled" button allows for user override of the adaptation behavior. There may be cases where you have a calibration that is tuned for a very specific purpose and you don't want the ECU VE adaptation changing this. In that case you can turn the adaptation off by using the Learn Enable/Disable Button.

The Pro-Tuner refers to the ECU specifically as "ECM" for the 48 pin ECU and "PCM" for the 80 pin ECU. Equivalence Ratio Actual air/fuel ratio divided by the air/fuel ratio at stoichiometry.
Page 228 Gain (Integral) Gain (Proportional) Horsepower Ignition Sync Offset Injector Lambda Load This controls the acceleration based on change, or basically the how fast the rate of change is adapted or integrated. Example: Increasing the Integral Gain on an IAC will make it change faster and be more “sensitive”.
Page 229 Sensors can be heated or unheated. The heated sensor in the Pro-Tuner system provides better control than unheated sensors. A wide band style O2 sensor has a linear curve representing a wide range of air fuel ratios, usually reading from 10:1 up to 18:1 for gasoline.
