First start tune, what else do i need to do?
So far, I've done the following:
- Downloaded the ECM file, and converted it to a 2-bar file
- Copied the Primary VE table up to 105 kPa, set everything above that to 175
- Copied in all the injector data I got from FIC for the new injectors
Is there anything else I need to do before the first fire-up as far as tuning goes?
I did switch from a FAST 90/90 setup back to a 75mm throttle body. I can't remember what tables I messed with to get the IAC tuned, as it was at least 6 years ago and I haven't been into HP Tuners at all in the last 4 years.
Comparing against my cars original tune file, I see the TPS Sensor Calc Airflow table is different in the "Engine Diagnostics/General" tab.
"The Base Running Airflow" and "IAC Park" tables in "Engine/Idle/Airflow" is also different, but I think that may need to be based on having more cubic inches than the original block.
I also no longer have a MAF on the car. I zero'd out the MAF Fail frequency, and set P0101, P0102, and P0103 to not set SES light.
Any tips or links to good threads on what I should expect for adjusting the tune to stay open loop all the time. I still have the front o2 sensors.
I just really need this car safe to do 100-200 break-in miles before I have a pro tune it. Obviously, I want to find an glitches now before it's burning up dyno time. I'm going to leave the blow-off valve off so I absolutely cannot get into boost while doing break-in miles.
Here's a copy of what I have so far:

Thanks for looking.

As long as you heat cycle it a few times, and vary engine load/rpm's above 2k rpms during your break-in, consensus is it's good enough.
Every builder has their own school of thought, and I'm sure I'll be wrong to a few people.
