Tuning Adjustments


Ok I have no idea what i'm diong with my handheld tuner I mean i know how to use it but I dont know what good it would do to turn up the timing or the WOT airfuel Adjustments. Any insite into this would really help i'm looking to get the most power from my tune that i can. Oh and its a 93 tune by the way.

if you don't know what you're doing, it's probably best to leave the tuning to a pro. i know it sucks to have to pay for it when you have your own handheld, but it's better to be safe than to just try and save a few bucks. besides, a dyno tune is the best way to go...

well my Handheld is an SCT X-cal2.


And I really dont have anything worth dyno tuning yet. I just want to know what the benifet of turning up the timing,WOTair fuel would do for me.

Mods are as follows,
75mm Mac TB
75mm C&L Plenum
JLT CAI
Steeda UDPs
Catless exaust no headers

bad idea , if you have a dyno near you , your best bet is to rent it for an hour , you should be able to get it dialed in yourself , shoot for something near 13.0 air/fuel and after the fuel is right , add timing till it loses power and then back off 1-2 degrees and leave it alone

a dyno tune from a good tuner will always benefit over a canned mail order tune you download.
