his tune is still not a licensed speed density if you would convert it then enable closed loop for your part throttle you would be alot closer.click the HP os tab first tab 1bar speed density forget the maf for now tune without it in closed loop .just no wide open runs till you get a wideband

If it stings your eyes then it's NOx and the soot might
well be gross HC. Both of these would be from lean and
advanced. But the narrowbands are there for you to
read, more trustworthy than what the nose thinks it
knows.

If you mistake lean for rich and keep leaning it out and
think it's even richer, it's not going to end well. Might
consider stepping back a couple, maybe find some
similar-cam repository tunes and do comparo to see what
has worked.

Now this is an '04 and you're just getting it, might be she
ain't -exactly- a virgin if you know what I mean. Greasy
MAF and yesterday's free mod is tomorrow's bad joke, etc.
Could be more to it than bits and squiggles.

Thanks for the info, I will check the MAF.... After changing the plugs again I've got two oily/black/brown plugs. Im going to change the seals again on these cylinders. It's using a little oil, nothing that would be considered alarming in my book. I've went back to the original tune I started with when we tuned it a second time and it drives much better just still smoking at idle. I'm thinking it could be possible that it's using just enough oil to hinder the complete burn of the gas. I'll post up more in a week or so when I get those changed out.
