Try and keep your AFR in the low 12's while under boost, and low 11's if under boost AND an additive (methanol, nitrous, etc.)

You'll have so much more potential with that setup as well. Extra injector controllers (for tuned nitrous or methanol setups) that trigger under certain PSI levels. Not to mention full control of every sensor on your car. I run Tec3 (which is overkill on the street), so any other standalone you decide should be easier to tune. If that's the case, I can help you out a bit. Even better... run Tec3 and you can have some of my maps... i have one that runs up 2bar on race gas or milder ones that will cut off at 1bar on pump. Regardless, this isn't the vortex, i'm not here to flame... just help. So ask away mang...




that makes somewhat sense to me..but i still have A LOT of reading to do...to fully understand everything..
