LOL i was just saying, the scan was as basic as it gets. No MAF data and being that he is force induction, I'd love to see the MAF data.

Then, not having a a wideband to reference tailpipe AFR, the NBO2's are the next best thing...which SHOULDN'T be used as a tuning tool in WOT or PE, BUT as reference. And as a reference, from my experience...they are rich. Real rich.

I was just making a joke...real rich...FI...CATs aren't gonna be happy. They will eventually die.

So you guys are actually tunnig these yourself? I think that is awesome. My problem now is My ABS sensor and brake light stays on becasue my speedo is soooo off. My truck says I am doing 50 but I about doing close to 80+ I have to find out ASAP so that I can ge another tune.

Don't include me in on that tuning yourself thing. I just figured out last night how to save and send a log. Since it is snowing here today I think I will do a ton of reading.

More like out in that heated garage living after she kicks me out. I bought the truck for her since I have a 06 300C Hemi. At the time the PCMS could'nt be cracked on the hemi's and my addiction for speed forced me to tinker with her truck. Now that she won't drive it do to the drone level, I have been forced to swap vehicles. She'll be sorry when that punk kid gives her a run for her $$ in the school parking lot in his ricer.

Where you live at GIBBS?

scott there is a HUGE, I mean HUGE learning gap for tuning. Especially when you are like me and don't have the knowledge base for engine mechanics like most of these guys. Everybody says read read read, but application is the best. As Whippled 496 will tell ya, you learn the most by scanning. Even if it is a worthless scan. Log and log some more. Use the markers and when you floor it and it bogs, click the marker (the letter M the keyboard) and then refer back to it when you are SITTING still and can look at that bog specifically on the scanner. It will come to ya. Engine mechanics plays a huge role, so not only reading reading and reading, but searching and asking will make a difference as well. That's what we are all here for. When we have time. LOL

No go out in that heated garage and take a crash course in wideband installation!
