Anything over 11.5 is over kill and you have pretty much gained all the cooling effects you can by running it richer. So the previous poster was 100% correct in saying 11.5-12.0.

Some of you asked about what I did with the dwell table to help out with spark. A lot of what I'm going to discuss will make more sense with a scope. Dwell basics: -The signal from the ECU to ignitor essentially controls primary coil voltage. -There are two edges to the signal. -The falling edge is...

Is your speedometer working correctly in your car. If not you car never knows that your going over 8 MPH and it will do that every time.

A Lot of that has to do with airflow in your engine, See when you put that turbo on the exhaust you blocked the engines ability to breath freely. You added back pressure. Same thing goes with the supercharger, Your not spinning those blades fast enough to create boost until about 2000-2500 before it...

Because your battery tables need adjustment. Once you get above 1500-2000 rpm your voltage becomes stable and usually stays at about 13.8 to 14.0v.(the reason your air fuels are consistant at part and full throttle) At the lower rpm the alternator can not charge enough to keep your voltage constant ...

In a nut shell yes, I dont know how long it has been since you have changed the injector offsets, the reason I say that is because I know calvin has done some moving around of these tables in the code. Go back into ectune and re-select the injectors you have and then retune from there. Does that mak...

I am going to say that your battery tables need tweaking, do you have an underdrive pulley?

Its definitely worth looking into. It is not a huge problem it just makes your tune much more sensitive to battery tables. The more constants we have in the equation the easier it is to control.

I am seeing my car idle at about 14 when it first starts up then after driving a while at idle it only wants to charge 12.5 to 13. as soon as a rev over 2000 it charges correctly. I think it might be heat related also.

I dont know what the hell your doing, I assume you have something off with tipin and that is what is making you pull so much fuel from the map in that area.
