Most of those items are very easy and straight forward. Just click on the tabs.

Tuning is a different story. You can try to do it using ATAP data, but the best way is to visit a wideband dyno or tune at the track.

Read the manual, change what you can, and then post specific questions on the remaining items and we'll help you out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
