link tweaking on stock car?

[bmxfelon420]

I just got link v2 on my car. So far the only mods i have are an EGR block off, free mods, and an intake. I'm still running stock boost, which is about 16psi without the restrictor in the BCS. What all is worth tweaking with link as it is now? I know calibrating the TPS is good, but what about the MAF? Should I do anything with ignition or fuel?

This is going to sound a little weird, but maybe you could tune it.

It's unlikely stock boost (free mod) is netting you 16psi. No mbc? Gauge reads 0 when off?

 

[bmxfelon420]

yeah the gauge seems to be pretty accurate. Showing 16psi under boost (tapering down of course at high rpm) and drawing 20in of vacuum at idle in park. Slightly more in neutral.

And I also want to state that i dont expect to gain 50hp or somehow make the car into some sort of super speed machine. I just wanted to know if there's anything I can do with what I already have to learn more for future upgrades and tuning. I mostly sprung for link early to shut off the rear o2, egr and timing retard during shifts. No boost controller yet, might be picking one up locally here next weekend. Not being able to control the stock solenoid is annoying.

Well, stock 2gs run somthing something like 9.5:1 AFR, so I'd imagine you could squeek a little more power out of it by leaning in out a bit during WOT.

You shouldn't need to touch the MAF controls if you are still running the stock MAF and injectors.

I'll mess with it tomorrow some. How should I go about doing pulls? I know in a manual it'd be done all in one gear (usually 3rd i gather) but with an auto should i do them in a gear? From a roll or what?

I'm not sure on an auto, but I'd image you just count the upshifts until your in 3rd, then take it to redline.

Someone with more expirence with an auto way want to chime in.

Redline in third is pretty fast, i'd hope that it'd be second gear at most. If third is whats recommended then that's what i'll do though. Maybe put it in 2nd, go from a roll and floor it? I'd have to verify but it should kick down and pull from first to second.

lean that sucker out!

Would 11:1 afr be an ok target? From what I read it varies with setup, but I figure to err on the richer side. Any suggestions are welcome, id like to not go too lean so if I'm wrong I won't be offended.
