this is pretty much all the way thru the gear, maybe a little more lean like 12.4-.5 starting off, and 12.3 at redline.

I am by no means an expert but I would suggest that you try to keep it in the 11.0-11.4 range at high loads. 12.0-12.5 is only okay when you are using water injection is what I have heard. Hopefully, one of our more knowledgeable users will chime in soon. I would definitely suggest that above 12 is pushing it too hard.

Post this on the UTEC Forum and hopefully Malibujack will reply. That guy will definitely be able to answer all you UTEC questions thoroughly and accurately.

Good luck

15:1 and you will grenade your engine in no time flat.

For a conservative tune, you should target about 11.2:1. at WOT. Post some logs and I am sure that you will get some more help.

i tune at 11.2-11.5: 1 on 91 oct with 0 knock, and i think thats a agressive tune already any higher than that on 91 **** gas and it's piston soup for you

on cruising on throttle it's around 14.5-14.7 : 1
ignition timing/airflow and other stuff a bit different because these readings are for my gsx... but it should be in the area...

too bad you guys don't have dsmlink ...

i'll be custom tuning /w wbo2 + dsmlink with any octane/boost level for free

nevermind, i was looking at the PSIa reading on the utec and thought that was the boost... If I have the utec mbc can I leave it where it is and put the utec back to the stock map for now?

Since Jack hasn't chimed in yet I'll give you some basic life support. ADD FUEL.

Yup you need to add fuel, show some logs if you can that way some of the people in here can give you better advise.

My tune is kinda aggressive, my AFR at redline is right at 11.44. I still have to work at it a little bit to smooth out the curve.
