So I'm going to do some data logging first thing in the morning with the sniper stuff. I installed a base tune but it's still falling flat on it's face.

with the sniper stuff I have the ability to tune globally and in 3 rpm specific categories at WOT only.... 500-2500rpm, 2500-4000, and 4000-redline.

I also have those same parameters for spark modification....


when I'm out there, I know I should be shooting for 12.5-13 AFR at wide open throttle, but what about partial throttle? What should I shoot for on the timing aspect as well, both part and wot?

thanks.....

There aren't a lot of people on here that use the Sniper interface. There is a guy on here that deals with them. If you do a search for the sniper tuner, you should be able to find him and he can probably help you.

Good luck!

Edit: found him...http://forums.stangnet.com/member.php?u=57450

It's not really sniper specific though.....those who have tuned cars or done their own via the sct pro racer would be going through the same thing.

I just used the base tune for the lower RPM's. It's WOT and high load that you want to concentrate on. Make 2 or 3 pulls in 3rd get from 3000 rpm to redline. Log the load, maf ad counts, spark, rpm, etc. Then just calibrate the MAF and try to make a flat curve.

adding timing globally is generally discouraged. you should increase the timing for each individual rpm range until it knocks, then back off the timing a bit.

for part throttle, you want 14.64:1 AFR.
