Theres a few running my old turbo tune.

Slowec is running it with very few tweaks for injectors and pulled timing to be safe and ramp it back in slowly. he ran 11.2s in the 1/4 and its still a touch rich and could play with the timing some more.

If you buy EFI from justin i believe he will throw in a base tune to get you started.

Pm me if you need some help. It gets fun once you get the hang of it.

I bought the software, and couldn't be happier. It is nice to put in a tune at my pace, and not wait a week or two for someone to try something that usually doesn't work. The forums for EFILive or HPTuners are very helpful places if you run into problems. It is very overwhelming when you first look at all the parameters, but take your time, and realize what you are changing, and it all of a sudden looks very simple. By the yard its hard, but by the inch its a cinch.

When you make changes to the tune save it as a new tune. That way you can track your changes and if it makes things worse you can step back to the older tunes.
