I currently have just a few small mods, nothing to do with fuel except the SAFC II. I am wondering if I have it set right.

My HI and LO is set 0 across the board since I have stock injectors and feul pump (untill next week LOL is this right?

Set to Karmen I know thats right

My Thrust points are set LO: 20% and HI: 60% is this right?

Also wondering normal knock at idle, and as you rise RPM's. Right now at idle when warmed up It is about 17-18 according to the SAFC. As I rise RPM's in neutral it goes up. At about 4000 RPM's I am at about 55 according to the SAFC.

I know I need the Wideband and am working on that, but any suggestions on if this is normal or not? The knock seems high to me OMG
 
Ok so that knock reading it is giving me is wrong then? That makes me feel better....30 80 got it. Thank you I was getting worried there for a minute. Just got the Dual Stage MBC set up and the new Greddy BOV...maybe now that the bov is recirculated and not a POS e bay atmosphere bov I won't have HUGE boost leaks!

Thanks again
 
The knock numbers you are seeing on the safc are worthless. They do not work with DSM knock signals. If I remember correctly there is a mod to make it work. When I had mine on there as soon as the car warmed up, the knock would go up to 30+, when in fact there was not any knock there at all.

Anyone know anything about this SAFC mod?
 
If its the same mod I'm thinking about its a useless mod that wires into the factory boost controller. I wouldnt worry much about it. want to log knock counts.... DSMLINK :beatentodeath:
