Default a/f ratio tuning based on load/gear

i have atap, ls1edit and fjo wideband. been dialing in my tune a little. here is my problem.

shooting for low 11/11.5-1 a/f ratio, when it is under the highest load it tends to be richer than other times, how do i adjust for this. here is what i am seeing.

floor it and when the stall is just grabbing(high load) i see 10.5-1, then once the rpms start to rise again(not as high load) i see ~11.3-1, then all the rest of 1st and 2nd i see ~11.3-1, then finialy when i hit 3rd(high load) it drops to 10.5-1 again till the end of the run.

is there a way to adjust for this with ls1edit? it is not rpm dependant so the PE/rpm section wont work for me.

here is a screen shot, hope you can see it ok, after looking closer i think it may be rpm dependant, i am just not in the 4200-4800range very long except for 3rd gear. these are 1/8th mile runs, maybe some 1/4 mile runs would be geting lean at the end of 3rd.

Have you turned off COT (catalytic over temperature)? This will cause a dip in AFR.

You should try and do as much of your WOT tuning in a 1:1 gear as possible.

So, A4 guys should tune in 3rd and M6 guys should tune in 4th.

After you get the 1:1 AFR dialed in where you want it then go back and tune the lower RPM points to where you want them.

I also have the FJO WBo2 in my car and have used it extensively for tuning. It is a great little tool.

i do have the cot feature shut off. i will try and do some tuning in 3rd, that only makes sence to give it the most time to log but i have a slight problem, for me 6000rpm in 3rd gear is close to 140mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> .

I never said that it was easy...or safe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Just find a nice empty freeway or long industrial street and go play at about 2:00am.
