Default Anyone here knowledgeable with tuning?

I have a Vortech Supercharged LT1 trans am with a F.A.S.T fuel system. Whoever dyno tuned it in the past did a poor job at only 360hp. Don't really have the money to get a better dyno tune.

Anyone here familiar with tuning softwares and wanna help do a good street tune until I get actually get it on a dyno?

Any reason it wasnt tuned with the stock PCM?

Seems like a lot of work (and expense) for such a simple combo...

Do you have any idea what the current AFR is under boost?

FAST has a DVD you can order for 30 bucks I think it is and walks you through the tuning of their system. I think their systems come with a wideband O2 which is sweet.

No clue. I'm not 100% sure about everything done to the motor... Some previous owner had it built. And I was pleasantly surprised to find the FAST ecu under the kick panel.

Someone dumped a lot of money in this thing in the fast it seems like.

Let me know if you still need help when you get your interface cable in. I've done a ton of FAST systems over the years.

IF the system is auto fixing your fuel at wide open to the target, just make sure your target is set to 11.s at full throttle.

Then horsepower is simply timing, the more timing, the more power it will make. But you can only go so far and be safe.

Depending on your amount of boost,"if it is like 4psi" it may already be maxed out on power. You would have to add more boost and adjust timing accordingly to get more rwhp..

Again to be clear, im not saying to add more timing. But that is the way for more horsepower if the fuel/compression/setup allows.

edcmat I will definitely be in contact! I'm probably getting the cable sometime this month.

wait4me, I don't even know what auto fixing is or if the FAST system uses it.. Right now im running 7.5psi but I am non intercooled which I know is not allowing for much timing. But before I go messing with the tuning I was planning on adding a FMIC as well.
