I take it that you're not running a wideband?

Hmmm.. that's going to make it kind of tough. SOTP AFR is not an exact science. lol

Run the pump up to half and drive it for a while... if you see smoke out the back end then turn it down in small increments... when it stops smoking, turn it down another imcrement and leave it there.

For the spark... turn it all the way down... if you hear the throttle breaking up then turn it up until that condition goes away.

That's the best I can do until you're able to get it on a dyno or get a meter.

Boost a Spark only helps if your spark needs to be boosted.

Sparks don't make horsepower.

i'm not worried about the few extra ponies i might gain if i did, i got it because i didn't think that i was getting enough spark. i've been having detonation problems so that why i got it. it was either try this or try granatelli coil packs and i didn't want to pay 600+ dollars for the packs. i was also told that the granetelli coil packs were way over priced and that they were junk by more than one speed shop. if i were to get cop's i'm gonna wait till accel releases their cop's.
