Post Alright, I have the Stock Flash of my puter, what next???

If you cant tell, I am new to this. I have a copy of tunercat, and I have made a copy of my ECM. I had no idea there were so many tables to play with But I have no idea where to start. Can somebody shed a little light on this one for me. I'm calling in a favor, its not like I havent been helping you guys with anything I can. This one has me bewildered.

I would find one of the many websites that give you a quick run through of the different tables and stuff and try to learn as much as possible before you start to fiddle with it.
I've been figuring TunerCat out for the last 3 weeks and so far it's going pretty good.
If you ever have a question, shoot me an e-mail and I'll be glad to help in any way I can.

Make a copy of the file and save it, and then head into windows and take a peek.

What do you want to do with it? With just headers, it would be safe to lean it out slightly on the top end, but I would be wary of recommending anyone to do that without a dyno, or a fair amount of tuning experience previous.

Other than that, play with the fan settings perhaps for cooler running.

Actually Dr, I have the headers, no cat, a 3.73 eaton posi rear end, MSD coil, functional ram air that was not stock, my lt4 knock sensor, and that is about it. I just want to tweak it a little, but I definetly want to lean it out. I get way to much smoke from the rear end. So much so that it causes it to build up on my rear bumper. Beyond that, I will mess with the shift points and cooling myself. But I have no idea where to start on the other parts. What do you suggest mudge man, I know your the man when it comes to this.

The honeymoon was great But what is up with a woman throwing out your stuff without asking. Some of my favorite T-shirts, and other things that she got at the wedding are starting to vanish. So if she asks if you want something, say no till you ask me if it is mine

Wait til she starts putting your stuff in a garage sale!!!!Sent you some mail again. Hope it converts this time, if not let me know and I'll try something else. The A/F calculator is something you can make up on a spreadsheet.
