tuning


See if you are running lean or rich by your o2 sensors, you may need more fuel at 90mph. The intake of air is greater at that speed. I would try that first before I change the timing. In the timing side you may be to advance. Try the fuel first and play with that.

What are your wideband readings (A/F ratios)? Are you in open or closed loop? Are you adjusting your STFT (short term fuel trims)?

Without a wideband you'll have no idea what kind of fuel changes you are actually making while in open loop (WOT). The factory O2 sensors are only used for closed loop operation. You don't want to add fuel in closed loop unless your short term fuel trims are demanding the computer adds fuel. Will this software show you what the command A/F ratio is at WOT (open loop)? I'll have to read your write up, but so far it sounds like hackware.

after corresponding with sniper and giving them the low down on my car they have advised me to globally advance the timing 2 degrees and 1 degree through all rpm range. and its running smoother quieter and better then ever i love it i cant even feel or hear my car idle any more. Props to Sniper!
