tuning

i just got hp tuners in, and i did s scan of my car and took it for a drive, i dont have a wideband yet, but i was wondering if anyone could help me do some things to get a little more power out of my car, i have headers, 3" exhaust, and a bigger lid

Re: tuning

Add trans X and your done. Wait for a wideband it will be worth it.

Re: tuning

i know im searching for one, but for now is there anything i can do to get a little more power?

Re: tuning

Scan for KR on a couple of hot runs, if no KR , add 2 degrees, then scan again, Then just use that as high Oct. and subtract 3-4 add use that as lower table. should be a write up somewhere.

Re: tuning

^ Do that. If you are auto tune your trans a bit, fans, torque management, etc. It won't give you more power really, but might make it a bit more fun to drive. Also good stuff to kinda learn on...

Re: tuning

Re: tuning

lol ya i need to, and to sms... after viewing my logs my knock retard stay at 0.0 and sometime is hops up to little, but i cant make a connection as to why, because its only at random times

Re: tuning

Could be false knock. But don't chance it. I would avoid adding much for timing in those cells.

Re: tuning

would it be bad to lean out my afr to like 12.5 instead of 13

Re: tuning

12.5:1 AFR is richer that 13:1 AFR not leaner. You really should not have messed with your AFR with out a wide band O2.

Re: tuning

i havent done anything to it yet, i was just on the dyno 2 weeks ago with a wideband so i know what my afr is

Re: tuning

where can i edit knock?

[dgreet77]

Re: tuning

You don't really edit knock if you are trying to get rid of it, you just pull spark, but you can change the attack and decay when KR occurs I guess... For that you can find the spark tuning guide and follow it at www.turbov6camaro.com :tup:
