Re: they should warn you about this (ski_dwn_it)
well I could see where the strange voltage would mess with the injector timing, I didn't use the PW vs batt voltage to adjust idle, just the inj flow rate.
I just drove it around today to get a feel for how it is doing. all in all it turned out pretty well :D
its just a little jerky at constant speed below 1600rpm (but ok I think for the cam), highway driving is alot smoother, tip in is pretty good (better in higher gears than in lower gears, had one intake backfire in a lower gear so it could use more AE if I could get it to shoot sooner).
checked the MPG and found it was getting 14mpg, can't have everything I guess.
Now I need to make a dyno appointment.

Ol, RJ...
If you played with the injector constants, forget about getting an accurate MPH reading with the dash.
Try to calculate it the next time you fill it up. It will be much better than 14MPH.

Re: they should warn you about this (ski_dwn_it)
sorry guys I've been offline due to a computer (desktop) meltdown :mad
just got back online.
hey ski that was checked with a fillup! but it did have a couple of burnouts and a WOT in there too :D
I went to the dragstrip tonight and the tuning is paying off, new best time 12.36 @ 115.5mph thats a gain of .4sec and almost 3 mph. still need to check it with a wide band 02.

Re: they should warn you about this (drive it)
thanks drive it,
I was pretty happy with it, I did 5 runs (missed a gear on one) had two 12.4 @ 115's so it wasn't a fluke. best mph was a 115.96mph, so close to 116, I think it'll make it. I met another forum member (Aqua) while I was there too so it was a good time. people said it sounded good, wish I could hear it too.

Re: they should warn you about this (ski_dwn_it)
checked the mpg again today, total 205 miles (including 5 blast's down the dragstrip) used 13gal for a result of 15.7 mpg.
today I drove it to work and back and its still on full. maybe if I keep my foot out of it I can get 20mpg.
