Hello y'all. I have a Starion with a 1g ECU, harness, CAS, ect.. with DSMLink. Anyways I'm running 1600s with e85. I set my global to -58% and my deadtime to 450. Car starts right up and runs good! But now off to tuning what should I look for as far as airflow per revs?

Should I add the percentage different in CID? Thanks!

Someone asked the same question for a 2.3 on the Link forums and Dave said that AirflowPerRev at idle is roughly proportional to engine displacement, so if you take the standard .025 gm/rev on a 2.0l engine you will get (0.025/2.0)*2.6=0.0325 gm/rev.
Sweet thanks! Hopefully the tuning will go alright.

I'm hoping for 450 at the wheels at least. Ill post a pic in a few

Ok my airflow per rev values are at .31-.34 and my LTFT's are at 0's but the car just won't idle smooth. It goes up and down from 800-1100rpm. I don't have a ISC of any sort. Just a 65mm Ford TB. Oh and if you rev it, when it comes down it will die.

Ok I did some searching and sounds like I need a DSM TB

Thats all fine n dandy but what about when its got cams? Those numbers dont work out so well, we all know, when you put a set of 272s in a 2.0. Its very difficult to get .24/.25 and likes to b closer to the .29 mark or .30
