    thanks for all the input guys. I was considering a custom OS for this but just haven't decided if it is really warrented for a mostly stock daily driver. although I'm not over knowledgeable about the Custom OS's

It's the best way to work out if your motor is happy. This is what I found when I tuned my Megasquirted Pontiac 400 engine and I applied the same logic to my 2005 Holden Monaro CV8Z LS1 engine and seems to work great.

    In my LS1, I cruise around 15.5-16.0 AFR with 38* spark lead. But the 400 can only take ~14.8 due to cam overlap.
    Can you expand a little bit on the best way to log MAP in a usable way. I'm not overly experienced at different uses of the scan tool. The most complicated thing I've done is autove and auto.VET.

    Thanks!
