Noob Basic questions

Post by CAFA_TF »

Ive done a lot of reading on this site and wanted to run down what im going to do make sure there is nothing specific to the ecotech i should take into consideration while tuning it
I have a getrag 3.8 water to air intercooled with a bolt on gear driven powerdyne
Ive taken the basic tune on my car
mainly reduced the AFR only my a few desmal points
log specific rpm range and reduce or increase advance to avoid knock
seems to simple must be somthing else i attack ?

Hi there. Not sure about the injectors exact limit, but wouldnt be running to much boost. 26 pound or so i think Intercooled charged v6 would max them ecotec injectors pretty quick id say even runnig lean tune. Check the duty cycle in your log.
