Default So overwhelmed!!!!!

I am new to tunning! I just got my car together and am in need of a base tune. I have hp tuners and really would like to figure it out myself. I have already updated and liscenced for 2 bar. My build cosists of a stock lq4, 04 zo6 cam, vic jr intake & elbow, 90mm tbi, 60 lb mototrons, single tc76, aeromotive Return boost referenced setup. I am trying to just get the injectors setup so i can atleast start it. I am just cofused!

And you pick a turboed 2 bar setup to learn on? Good luck......

I can set you up with a baseline that's real close, for a fee.

The injector thing, there are writeups for. I'd get a
good feel for your fuel pressure, probably you have
a boost / vac referenced regulator (or should) so it
is simply figure the injector reference and real fuel
pressures, scale using the spreadsheet, and use the
zero vacuum value all the way across (not square
root tapered as stock). RedHardSupra has posted
links to all this a bunch of times and I think has some
how-to instructions along with the spreadsheets.

You can find links in the topmost sticky thread of
this section.
