Well, heres is my first log. Can anyone tell me how it looks? Im new to the "tuning" aspect here, so if anyone can give me a few tips as to what I should be looking for in my logs, it would be greatly appreciated!

Mods are FP Big-T28 at 13psi, 6 bolt block and head with stock 6 bolt internals. FMIC, 3in cat back. 2g fpr, 450cc inj. and stock fuel pump NOT rewired...

Thanks!

Based on your profile, you don't have any type of tuning device, so there isn't really much you can do. I'm guessing that those are 2 different logs that you stuck together?

Looks normal for just cruising around. Basically with cruise / idle, your goal is to set your fuel trims (FT) and maximize gas mileage. This isn't necessary without upgraded injectors and I see you are running on the stock 450's.

The real tuning comes at WOT. So to be brutally honest, you log doesn't mean much ;)

A 3rd gear pull from 2.5k to redline logging timing, O2, airflow and rpm would be the best way to see what is going on. But once again, there isn't anything you can do if things are out of wack.

I would pick up a SAFC-II, at the bare minimum, and go from there. Also, rewiring your fuel pump is a cheap, easy way to give yourself a little more room to grow. You can squeeze more power out of your setup, but we need some WOT logs first.
 
Yeah, I know I can't tune yet. But I just wanted to make sure that everything is in check with all of the recent mods (turbo/six bolt) and all. I did do one third gear pull on that log, but I didn't go all they way up to redline, nor did I start for 2.5K...

Also, that is all from one log I was using OBDLogger....

Thanks

Ah, I just saw that the date changed in the middle of the log from 10/21/06 to 11/1/06 and assumed that it was 2 different logs.

Go ahead and post up whatever you have from the 3rd gear pull. We might be able to get some useable data from it. :thumb:
 
Hehe... well... Now I can't do a real third gear pull now :( Turbo is on its last leg... If I boost, I loose TONS of oil. Grrr.. turbo only has 800 miles on it!
Oh well, when I get it rebuilt, I'll post a 3rd gear pull :p

Thanks!

Edit: now that you pointed out the date change, I think I may have posted two logs... LOL, stupid me
