Ok long story short I sold dsmlink and have no idea how to set up my SAFC. I just put a new clutch in so I need a good place to set my settings at so I can go break it in then I can actually do a better tune. I have a MAF Translator and have dialed it in for my injector so I was hoping someone has a similar setup or could give me some advice on my setup and what settings i should be at.
Here is some of the mods..

T57
2.5" charge pipes
FMIC
3"GM MAF w/ Translator
Open exhaust
680's
255lph
17psi of boost

Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Why would you sell DSMLink is the question?
 
Ok you want to set it to 4 cyl arrow pointing up karmen sensor and throttle points 30 or 25 lo and 70-80high

Need more then that I can only help a little cause you need to tune it.

Wait just seen the GM MAF I thought you tuned with the box. Idk if you would still use the settings above I guess its just like having 2 airflow hz emulators on board.
 
Roadraceengineering.com has good info for tuning w/ safc.
I really don't recommend using dual "piggyback" tuning devices, not that I didn't do it years back, LOL
Get a wideband and logger asap to monitor the vitals and the ability to create a good tune very easily.
Pick one device and use that.
I personally, would probably go with the 2gmaf and SAFC, unless its a gen2 MAFT, but i'd still stick with the 2g maf
 
Maft with the safc works great. Just use the maft to setup the injector compensation and use the safc for small adjustments for WOT. Worked out great for me. I ran 1200cc injectors and e85 on that setup for over a year.

Due to the major timing increase and the need for 30 ~ 40% more fuel, e85 was probably the only reason you were able to run those with that. Not talking down to you by all means, people said I couldn't run 750's at 58psi but I did for 2 years in my Neon, the car ran great.
