Yeah that has always puzzled me as well because I’m sure it’s a large cap.

I could never understand it. Even a 4k clutch dump stock this darn thing always chirped then hooked... i fear for the d36 to do a clutch dump now. the tires on it always hooked well. The only time I've ever gotten it sideways was last week nailing it off a hair pin in second at 50 or so. Same thing though. Kicked out posi locked straightened right back out and ran up to 70 or so... makes no sense since the tires are about 14 years old...

i have an auto, but my converter is pretty loose.
my car is a black stripe machine!
i ease it into a burn out, careful to not shock it.
i try and do a careful transition from idle, start forward, then floor it!
screeeech!
my rears are "275's"
what ever that is.
tried to upload an image but it hung...
i was actually worried about my rears, while i cheaped out a lil, they are a bit stickier than my old ones.

My tire is so old falken doesn't even make it anymore lol. but was a good one.
At any rate, I'll continue to keep mine in open loop to force learn the WB for the tables and then once thats close I'll enable closed loop to let the wide band learn and play with the BLMs and INTs and then it should be good. Th problem is that I don't want to invest that much time into getting this tune right as when I (hopefully get a renegade *cough cough*) that I'm not completely redoing it all over again but rather have a solid base tune (which the car has right now and is extremely driveable at that) and then just hone in on that. No sense doing it twice if you get it close you know?

So im a dope... as it turns out my MPG problem wasn't the injector scale... the data stream for the dash was off... hence why it always showed 99mpg. Option word 3 bit 7... need to check this later...

however I'm using mpg as the basis for how well the tune is adjusted. As of now I'm getting almost 14 calculated and that's flogging the crap out of it. Which is as good as stock lol.

I think that 14mpg is pretty good when the car is being flogged. I wouldn't complain about that. I think that's a good measure of how well its tuned. If there are no driveability issues and you are returning good fuel mileage, I would say that it's running well!!
