Though I understand the point you are trying to make, it is not difficult at all (even on an NA motor) to lean out and start blowing head gaskets apart.

To the OP... Just be mindful of the potential pitfalls.

Your point is a good one, +1. In my case I didn't come out of my first tuning experience entirely unscathed either. I actually ran with a lean condition at cruise (bucking) long enough to damage my exhaust valves. Definitely slow & methodical changes, one at a time, and incrementally, backing them out if something seems off. I ignored it for too long.

To add to that:

I don't recommend anyone digital tune their ride without first installing a wide band AFR meter capable of data-logging. Add this as the first item to any list that involved the purchase of tuning equipment. It is arguably, the most important piece.

If you installed BE, strategies & calibrations may already be there under c:\Program Files\Binary Editor\DEF. If not, you can download it from here. http://www.eecanalyzer.net/index.php/strategies-calibrations

There's a helpful document (Start Menu->Programs->Binary Editor->Getting Started) to guide you through it.

Then with Binary Editor launched, just do "Open->Strategy (browse to CBAZA.xls)" followed by "Open->Calibration (browse to T4M0.bin).

I have the older version (Binary Editor 2010) so yours might be a little different but should work just about the same.

It's definitely a lot of fun once you get the hang of it -- seeing all the real-time outputs from the QuarterHorse when you're data-logging give you a ton of visibility into what's happening in your tune. Then you can change almost anything with a few clicks and push it back to the engine while it's running. Makes me wonder why anyone would begin to think about going back to a carb - you don't even have to pop the hood to retune the car.

I can email you a couple of tune files if you wanba poke around with them. You can do a compare files function that will list any parameters that were changed so you can learn a bit

Which WB controller are you installing? My Zeitronix recommended by Lasota racing hasn't given me any issues for the past 10 years.

I'm not aware that Autometer makes wide band kits. They make gauges.

What specific wideband kit are you talking about? Post a link to it.
