Tuning write ups
 

Found a couple links for people who would like to learn a little bit more about the basics of tuning with the HPT and what not like myself, the 1st link is for a jbody but it does give you a basic idea of what is being used, the 2nd is if anyone is interested in speed density/MAF tuning. Feel free to add any HELPFUL information if you have any as im sure their are others than just me who would like to learn some more

great idea if it stays on topic.... in other words i wanna learn too...

yes im hoping that others will post link's to other write ups or information or even put out some information themselves that will give us a better understanding. Just ask that this stays on topic please!

the most useful info i have seen on tuning gets locked before i got a darn click on it....

the one on redline forums is a good start

any links to write ups that people find feel free to post them in here and share the info, i know their is more people than just me who will use it to understand a little more of what is being talked about around here

OP,

my contribution

myth,

send it to myth busters

thank you! this is the type of stuff i'm looking for, it has been added to the original post!

I would love to get into tuning my car and messing around until i got it perfect. But i dont want to spend the money or risk blowing my engine.

i would love to as well which is why i hope some more members contribute to this so myself and other members can get a grasp of what is going on and start to learn a little bit more

Np, 383 Stroker made a kick ass thread with like 10 different timing tables he tested dyno run after dyno run on the same day.

I'm going to try and convince him to rehost all his pictures in that thread.

that would be excellent if someone could find the thread and post the link!, my goal here is to combine tuning threads,write ups and informative posts to help spread the information for other members and not to have any disputes or arguments, want to keep this clean and informative!

yeah, I think he needs to, I wanted to see them

ask and you shall receive

its on the last page

He made an extremely good effort. There is still even more room for improvement, but it shows a variety.

Bump anyone have any contributions?

:twothumbs nice stuff

:cssNET: thank you, im trying to just make an informative thread for members like myself that want to understand the basics and what not involved in tuning so contributions of links are always welcome!

First you need to set up a configuration which will read all the sensors from the PCM.

Many people have posted useful configurations over on hptuners forums. Just download them and adjust them to the screen size of your laptop. Move the gauges.

Learn the acronyms of different sensors and learn to read the gauges.

Do a few datalogging just to get a idea of what reads what during various rpms.

Do all this before u begin adjusting ur tune!

The two on redline forums are pretty good

Mr. Banish has a DVD as well, a bit pricey imho for what it is but good help for the clueless and positive reinforcement for those who have already done some legwork.
