Basic steps after VE for the Track?

[Garry]

OK, after getting my AFR tuned in correctly (this time with the right units), I may be heading for a track this weekend for a couple test/tune runs ... car is still in OL AutoVE setup ... haven't copied anything back to the original files or anything ... what's next

[TAQuickness]

verify your WOT AFR is in a safe range, make a pass, adjust, make a pass adjust, blah blah blah... Stick with the tune that produces the best pass. Be mindful of driver inconsistancies while tweaking.

I would think a few dyno passes would make it easier to get the top end dialed in.

Nothing that looks like a dyno anywhere near me AFAIK So, basically, just continue the AutoVE tune during the Quartermile runs?Maybe again start out with 5-10% addition to the VE values with the WOT MAP columns?

If you have dialed the high RPM already Id say 5% would be more than enough. Depends on how confident you are you have it done right.

After VE, think about what PE you want and adjust PE vs RPM B3618 and PE Enable B3616 (for example, richening on the way up to max TQ, and then leaning a little on the way to max HP and/or max RPM, that's what some people do).

[Garry]

so, with AutoVE commanding an EQ of 1.0 and stock being 1.25 through the whole RPM range, what would a good distribution be? B3616 is still untouched from the stock setup (64% TP through 2800, and droping down to 26% at 4400)

What about the AutoVE setup - if I plan on just staying with SD OL, what of the original setups should I set up, like cat protection?

One thing I have learned with dyno tune vs. track tuning;

A leaner AFR of 12.9-13.2 will yield best dyno numbers but I have found the cars run too lean on the track. Mainly do to the longer load time and extra heat buildup. After I tune and get a peak number at those AFR's I end up richening the AFR to closer to 12.7-12.8. This has shown to provide better track times in every instance. This has been more noticable with a good set of heads on the car.

PE ends up in the 11.something area in PE table B3618 ... is that too rich? Or is that corrected by another table's factor?

[joecar]

Here are my PE tables (not tested on dyno/track, driven on street, I am open to comments...)...

[Garry]

Tnx, will try and see ...

What PIDs are best to logg now? Anything specific I should keep my eyes on now? (apart from the obvious like AFR and KR)
