Default YET ANOTHER AUTOTAP QUESTION.....

Still debating about getting autotap. You guys that are using that....tell me something...when you find out your fuel mix, etc. how do you adjust that? Will I be able to adjust the things that need tunning or just able to find the problems but not do anything about them. Thanks.

To do the air/fuel adjusting, you really need a MAF translator.

Autotap does not let you adjust any of the settings that it monitors. You must do that with other means such as a MAF Translator or PCM programmer such as a Powerloader or Superchips programmer. A MAF Translator allows you to adjust your Base A/F and your WOT A/F. A MAF Translator and Autotap seem to go together as self-tuning package for a C5.

There have been quite a few posts about tuning a C5 with a MAF Trans and Autotap so I wont get right into it in this reply.
