Well I just installed my tweecer with the help of my friend Wes (stanger007)
Much props to him for cleaning my interior while I installed it
Also he helped me dive into it and show me how to read/write and datalog!

First thing I did was delete EGR, bump idle, and modify shift retard.
I must say just the shift retard and idle increase was worth the tweecer

One thing I forgot to do was set my timing to 10 degrees, right now its 14, so I'm not gonna mess with timing till I change that. Also I need to buy EEC analyzer.

Heres my question:
My egr is still on the car, but its deleted in the computer. The egr tube at one point broke off and I kinda just stuck it back together. In the process of jiggling it around trying to remove it I think i kinda messed it up a bit and I believe I have an exhaust leak there, nothing major but I am pretty sure I can hear it.

Will an exhaust leak there affect my tuning to any major extent? Should I fix that leak asap?

Thanks, I am sure I will be asking many questions in the next few days (starting to work night shifts tomorrow)

To start tuning effectively you want the following:

No v leaks
No exhaust leaks
Really ... NO leaks of any kind

No faulty wiring or loose connections

Stock fuel pressure
Stock dizzy setting

Stuff like the above will be counter productive to your self tuning efforts
