calibrated to what ever size injectors you have (ex. 42# injectors) -6
psi or less - 1 heat range colder ex. autolite 3924 sparkplugs gapped at
30-35 -7-14 psi - 2 heat ranges colder ex autolite 3923 sparkplugs
gapped at 30-35 -premium gas

600hp plus (call)
Basic start up settings -set timing at 6*
and work your way up -set fuel at 39 psi as a low starting point -premium gas
-set tps sensor .98-1
-if using a manual boost controller leave it off until
you determine your boost level and then install the boost controller when you
are ready to adjust the boost higher
*note* with a boost controller you can only adjust above what the wastegate
spring is set up for. So if your wastegate spring is 6psi you can adjust from
6psi and up. Start up your car and
while it warms up check for fluid leaks, air leaks, etc.... After the car has
warmed up do a couple of gauge checks. Check the oil pressure & engine
temperature. Once your happy with that go for a basic low rpm drive for a couple of miles. Under part throttle the car should
idle and run good.
Once you feel the car is driveling good go
for a wot run (4th gear for a stick, 3rd gear in a auto * not od). Now just get on the gas for a little bit while
trying to look at the boost gauge and fuel pressure gauge if you have it and for detonation. Detonation sounds like a can full of marbles for anyone who is not familiar with the sound. Now do a longer run on the car and then cut the ignition off and roll to a stop so you can check the plugs.
We like to check the #5 and #6 sparkplugs. So once the car has cooled down pull
out the plugs and look at it. Is it white (lean)? Is it tan (good)? Is it dark
(rich) Ok now its time for you to decide what to do. if its rich you can add
timing. If its lean you can add fuel pressure. The goal it to have a nice tan
plug. yes lean is mean but it can also mean a fine line between changing a head
gasket or hurting a motor.
For those people out there with a wide band 02 gauge we tune idle for around
14.7 and wot to 11.8
*These
are just some basics for you to get your car up and running. If you really don't
know what your doing this may be a good point to turn over your car to some one
who is experienced*
Locked Timing vs Non Locked Timing locked timing is where you pull the timing spout out and set the timing to lets say 18* and leave it just like that. You do not put the spout back in. You can set it to more than 18* but
that's just a starting point. This is a good way of running at the track under wot, but it sucks on the street. Your start up will be rough and your part throttle will be rough.
