Good luck with your tuning. I have efi live and i am still chasing down lots of problems. It can be a pain so i strongly suggest you install your wideband as soon as you get it. Unfortunately i havent been able to take my own advice so far and i kick myself everyday. This is great tuning software but unfortunately when it comes to availability of tunes EFIlive falls short. I have yet to find a tune that would be decent for my setup

Killaz, I'm about to be in the same boat as you . From my previous F14 tuning experience, Riddlerls1 is right, I won't attempt to tune without a WB, its just too much of a PITA.

Good luck,
Kevin

I have the same cam in my z06 and love it. I would not even try to tune it without the wb. If its your first time it will just take some time but in the end you will enjoy the way the car runs. I have stock idle and the car still drives the same just has more power, and my gas mileage went up also. Good luck.

FYI, I just swapped my throttle cracker table for Jpr5690's MS3 table and it worked like a charm...

Increase or decrease the values in the throttle cracker table? By how much?
My rpm's swing to low @ approx 25 mph after quick blip of the throttle. In others words say 25% throttle to 20-25 mph, off the gas pedal quick, the rpm's will drop low then swing back up where they should be.

Thanks in advance!
