Also logging your timing at Part throttle, and making small adjustments to the timing will also help...

That is what I tell everyone, Tuning is just alot of driving around looking like a retard with the laptop.... Speed up, Slow down, WOT, restarting it after it dies at stop sign, Speed up, WOT, Slow down, restarting it after it dies at stop sign, Speed up, Slow down, WOT, Slow down....

You go Stoich
Setting the PWM tables to 90 min and 100 max only make it ock up solid and quick. If you have an aftermarket converter it is recommended from what I understand.
