That's sweet! I wish my tuner paid attention to maximizing lean cruise. I assume you have a wide-band and dataloging capabilities.

Do you mind me asking how much your tuning set-up cost? I'd like to fine tune the lean cruise. I had a 1993 RX7tt that I street tuned myself, since the shop that installed my new ported motor sucked at tuning (or didn't tune it at all). I still have my techedge wideband O2 and laptop. I was wondering how much it would be for HP tuners for just my car? Do I need two 02 sensors?

its hp tuners and the standard is $499 and the pro is in the $600 i would get the standard if its just for your car. the diff from the pro and standard id that you can plug your wideband into the interface but you can still hook it up threw the ERG or a/c and still work fine.
