so. I have an APEXi AFC Neo and an AEM UEGO wideband O2 both on their way. should have them by the weekend (hopefully) or early next week. I'm going to be using them for once I have a turbo, but I was hoping to squeeze a little more power out of my car in the meantime. I'm a total newb to tuning though. I figure that what I want to do is just add/subtract fuel as necessary to maintain a steady air/fuel ratio. But what ratio should I aim for? also, what should I do with my timing. I'm currently advanced to 18 degrees, should I just set it back to 10? any advice and tips would be useful.

but the whole point of buying the wideband was to avoid getting on the dyno!
 it's not so important to me to squeeze every single HP possible just yet. It's not going to remain an NA car for long, so as long as I can feel a slight difference with my butt dyno I'll be happy.So, what A/F ratio do you recommend for WOT? -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
