It starts easy and idles well, I know temps are reading right. Map I know what it dose, but not real sure what I really should be seeing with it.

I'm by no means a delco noob, just first time really trying to tune anything.

This build has been a pipe dream from back in the old pulsar forum thread about tuning the 808.

But being a fresh motor I'm nervous about breaking it

What map reading are you seeing at idle?

When I looked at the map with the data list it looks correct but when playing the graph it's going off the scale and also it doesn't show it till 22 seconds so it might be an ADX error. Anyway as previously mentioned get the alternator charging properly first.
My bad. I was looking at the scaled map. Not sure abt that one. Maybe VL400 can advise.

Dylan, yes 12p and about about 60kpa at idle.
But it has a mild can and a VN throttle body

Charles I will see if I can find a spare reg to sort out charging.

I will get some new logs later today and have a tinker and see what I can't come up with.
Thanks for the input so far guys

If it's 12P I wouldn't expect any ADX errors.
60 koa isn't unexpected for a decent camshaft either so thats probably OK.
