Here's the situation.. I have a S-AFC sitting on my floor, and I want to install it badly.. Here's what i have: Big 28, O2 eliminator, re-wired 190, intake, 2.5" turbo back exhuast, ported exhuast manifold, ignition, upper/lower IC piping, greddy type-s, Joe. P @ 16 psi, and (stock SMIC).. errr..

Well... what setting should I set for the mean time b4 I get my dyno tune.. I do have a boost and air/fuel gauge also.. well.. i need expert advise on what setting can i set for the mean time..

Thanks..

you are going to get no answer tho this, everyone is going to say every car is different and every setup is different, just install it and do some runs and adjust....if your car is running fine without it, then install it and default it changes nothing, so its the same as not having one installed until you alter the settings, the main settings your going to change are probably 5500rpm+, that is where u usually lean out and need adjustment the most

so I can install the AFC now.. and leave it alone on default mode.. and i will have nothing worry about for the mean time, since (to me) my car runs well... I'd like to install it. but i wont get my car tuned for another month.. no $$ for the dyno shop.. heh.. hmm.. im really scared to install it.. and when i reach higher rpms... i may lean out..

get an egt, tuning is very easy
