Default Vinci Tuner

I just got my Vinci tuner today. They wasted no time getting it to me
I set the tune need to high performance stock cam,and both trans.features to performance. The shifts are very tight. When the car shifts into 2nd it actually throws my head back to the seat and spins tire.
Also, I noticed with the high performance stock cam tune the idle went down a little and it apears to be a little more quieter when cruising on the highway.
I'm trying to find out if i need to do anything with the power enrichment,shift spark advance,and increase engine idle rpm considering the mods i have. Does anybody have any info on these? Thanks, Joe

without having a wideband or on a dyno, it's a guess if you need more/less fuel/timing. you can try each one individually and drive it to see if you 'feel' any difference. you can try the different cam tunes to see how they work with the mods you have. back when i had most bolt-ons and heads with stock cam on the wife's car, i ended up with cam #3 for the tune.

hey whats up, why were you in cam #3 tune without a cam? was it the heads that put you in#3? if so,what in the world do you do when you put a cam in along with those heads and other mods? when i mod my car more i want to follow the guidlines for the tuner. how acurate do you think these tunes really are? thanks, joe

because that particular tune did what was needed. the tunes are a starting point for a cam in that range. then you play around with it from there. you may need to use a different cam #tune to work the best. that's what's good about this tuner. the tunes are super accurate. they get you close. then, you modify from there.

Hi-Performance w/Stock Cam. I just installed Pacesetter longtubes and TSP ORY so I plan on trying out the power enrichment feature the next time I am at the track.

did you notice after you programed your car that the idle went down a little? if so did you ad to the idle rpms? mine went down like 100-150 rpms.
