So if I understood correctly, once your maf was scaled then your fuel trims and timing were set you had to adjust the Volumetric Efficiency Table to smooth out the dips in your map based on some full throttle to redline logs...

Yeah there were some spots in the VE table that we had to change due to some super rich spots. I also need to smooth out some throttle tip in spots I think but I need to sit down and tune all that stuff. I have it pretty close to perfect right now. But once I start on upping the boost and stuff it should get interesting

No I didn't, and Kane's software will change how we tune dramatically. Yes basically you will just drive around, datalog, and upload the logs to his software and let it rock.

That's why I want us all to get together, I suck at excel and the Macro Andrea made should be cool and I'd like to learn the graphing stuff in Excel, I have never used Excel much.

Austins wife has a pretty sick Macro worked out.

Side note I fixed all my vac leaks and hit about 10 psi...

From that point on I was steering my car with my erection.

I beta tested Kane's software on my boosted mirage...The program is AMAZING to say the least. I'm sure the finalized product will be more than any of us could hope for.

I think I finally worked out the idle, I just had to do a few drive cycles after the correction of the Vac leak. I decided not to go to Philly and am going to tune a little today then go to the range.
