Lean tip in is actually a timing issue?

How do Ken and me decide how to adjust the makeup target?
It's based on cam events. I use spreadsheet I found.

For me I just messed with it based on a huge thread over on the HP Tuners forum about it. I think I ended up at 6.1 on my own and then someone helped me with the spreadsheet (thanks madmann) and I ended up at 6.18 I believe but I have a pretty big cam.

They say you can't really get it accurate calculation since the size of the injector affect inj pulse width end point and the best way to figure it out is to sit on a dyno and adjust for low end torque. I think for the later ECU's they can adjust the makeup based on RPM so you can tune it up top too, but they also say that up top it has a smaller affect because of the mass of fuel being sprayed has negligible gains or losses.

I tuned it because of exhaust smell at idle smelled like raw fuel and it made a pretty big difference. The smell almost completely went away and my perceived drivability was better too. The old butt dyno as they say.

But alas - that didn't help with the lean tip in for me and I still have a tiny stumble off idle in certain scenarios. When I get motivated to do more tuning on it maybe I'll try to go after it some more, but I have it tuned well enough that it's not too terrible once warmed up.

I hope it didn't sprain your wrist typing out the whole words.
