Hey does anyone know where and what the best tuner is for a Ford ranger 1994 v6 4Liter? I put a new intake on my truck and I’m getting WAY more air into the engine and as of right now my truck can’t handle it until it’s tuned.

Just the right size to touch the ground.
Nope, I can guarantee you that you're not getting too much air from a new intake. You probably didn't connect the MAF sensor.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
You probably made it easier for the air to get in. But the engine is a positive displacement air pump. The volume of air moving through it is determined by the volume of air displaced by the stroke of the pistons. I second the motion of checking your MAF sensor. It's calibrated to measure how much air flows through a particular sized hole where it's located. If you change the size of the tubing it's mounted in, or use a different sensor, it will send incorrect info to the ecu.

I recommend Fur A Lise, by Mozart. Oh, wait. You said TUNER, not TUNE. Sorry, I don't know of any piano tuners in your area.

Round.

I poop in the furnace.
The stock intake flows more air than the engine can use. The throttle body is the limiting factor. So like everyone else said, the problem is not "you have to much air" the problem is you most likely screwed the maf sensor up. The only way you can flow enough air that would actually require changing the PCM parameters is if you stuck a supercharger on it...
