Default ECM tuning

1989 stock

i want to do so things to my engine, but before I do, I want to learn as much as I can about ecm tuning before I do it. I have an ostrich II, chip burner, tuner pro and cable to data log. I have not bought wide band o2 yet

I am using $6E, which is were the problem begins. Searching and reading I can't find anything on tuning using $6E I have tried other forums witn no luck. It seems the tuning basics they talk about such as MAF tables and Spark advancement are not presented in the same manner in $6E. Anyone know a site that may help me?

I also have an 89 using 6E that ive been learning to tune, you can message me if you want to, Ive had some success, but as you know not many seem to use 6E. for what its worth to you Ive done a miniram, headers, and a small cam, and believe it or not other than some fuel pressure tweaks, the mass air really was able to handle what ive done so far with very little needed to be in good tune. a bigger cam and or 383 etc would take it over the top and im sure id have to redo a lot of the tune
