we still have some torque converter tweaks to make and still have the 3rd dry system to turn on after the first 2 are tuned to satisfaction.

i really feel like a 4.5x is possible and should be able to net a 1.55 back split. this was the first outing with the new converter.

We let it help us when we are trying a new jet size or another system.
Then as we got it closer we would shrink the correction factors down until we got it dialed in then we would turn it off.

Been there.

it seems like any time i let it help auto correct the AFR bounces alot and that concerns me more than being off a touch on the the tune up... me and my driver had a long discussion on the way home, lol. his job is to drive, mine is to tune. I stopped driving this car about 3 years ago because its hard as hell to tune one from the drivers seat.

the 3rd system needs to be made smaller and the ratio will probably go to 14:1 to start.
