First thing, apply wot blm locker to your base tune. Otherwise you will probably be chasing your tail.

I would like to know also what the wot blm locker is. I have been tuning using tuner cats for a few months now.It will seem overwhelming at first but once you start figuring out the areas to adjust and play with it gets allot easier.

Wot blm locker makes your blms lock at 128 when you go wide open throttle. So if your fuel trims are goofy at idle or part throttle etc like say 135, it doesnt add that fuel to the entire time you go wot. It is mandatory imo for tuning wot unless your fuel trims and drivability are less than 128 everywhere. It just saves alot of time when you want to tune somebody up on the dyno or at the racetrack. One less thing to worry about.

Any time your trims are below 128 they default to there, the stock pcm is not allowed to pull fuel out of wot under any circumstance, but it sure as hell can add it.
