Tuning really sucks ( who to believe )

We are looking right at the actual wideband being logged and adjusting that way. We really don't have any planned future updates, but yes if I came across something in another tune that would work well on yours I would do a free update no problem. If you add heads/cam combination to the car, then we'll go on a per case by case basis on how much additional for that round of mods. Right now we have a sweet deal going on that includes a free custom tune (This does not mean one tune file, this means from start to finish remote tuning) coupled with the HPTuners software.

You are more than welcome to come here to use the dyno, we can get some base pulls on the car and see if it would be worth even touching the current tune. That is up to you.

etmx: Just shot you a file bud. Enjoy the Camaro cruise!

Thanks for the info...of course the weather right now is not ideal, but I guess a tune for this weather then have another file for when it starts getting nice out would be very handy. I will be in touch with you. Just finishing the wiring on the nitrous and have some dress up goodies to deal with, but once my gauge gets here and installed I will touch base with you. I expect the gauge any day now.

So...if I were to weld up a bung and install a wideband, and IF I had a HPT, I could somehow log my AFR on my LFX?

Hmmm....

The afr setup I bought can datalog.

[JohnnyBfromPeoria]

I should add to the above: I can data log AND send it to be looked at...?

That is correct Johnny B

YES you can I'm doing this right now with MATT@FSP. You can see anything
you want with HPT. If you want to see it live let me know. I'll video tape HPT in use with the wideband and post it on youtube for you to see. PS, you will need their PRO Suite to datalog the Wideband.

I can't wait to see the results of this. You are going to be the first one running a 100+ shot and the 3.45 gears. I think you are going to be low 12s and maybe even high 11s if you make a trip to ATCO or Englishtown.

HP Tuners has some pre designed PIDs for most widebands and all you have to do is click them into your main table file.

You also have to be mindful of the voltage to your wideband. I run my wideband on a separate power source to keep it pure and independent.

The LFXs can be a little tricky. I got a call from a shop last year because the car kept going into reduced power at WOT and the tuner didn't know how to address it.

Nope, EFI supports it, too.

All in due time. I can't wait to see the new LF3. I'm thinking one of those turbos may be the perfect size for a 1.4L and it may just fit with some rework of the exhaust. If not, then maybe a BW vendor like Full Race will build a EFR kit. Keeping my fingers crossed.
