    OK, another question. What's the best way to track your changes and see if your doing something right? MAF lb/mn or maybe something like cyl airmass? What's a good number to shoot for in whatever area is best? Thanks again guys.

    Here's a log I did tonight. MAF is a little off cause I was getting something weird so I started over and the KR creped up on me but I already tweaked timing in those areas. I'm guessing the slow 60-100 was cause of the KR, was usually getting a 5.6-5.8 second pull.

    Generally the more air you are moving through your maf the more power you are making so thats always something to look at. For example I move around 45lbs on my lsj. Other then that, follow your 60-100 times and adjust until the decrease, obviously make sure the road is flat though or it will be skewed.

    I will look at your scan later and let you know whats off <3

    Thanks! So I guess MAF lb/mn is a good judge. I got a 30.49 on a second gear pull at the end of the log. That seems pretty good for all stock parts.

    MAF lbs isn't a good judge if you are changing the maf cal while tuning. Doing the 60-100 on the same road over and over, and doing 2 then avg'ing the results each time is a better judge.

    On Page 17 post 329 there is a tune I used this season in my otherwise factory stock ’09 Solstice Coupe Automatic. In cooler weather it ended up giving me an 8.31 at 82 with a 1.76 60’ leaving at 2500 RPMs.
    At the points race at Indy in warmer weather I got a 13.1 at 103.
    I would like to ask for opinions on how I might get a little more power from this tune and would appreciate your input. Thanks!
