My First time tuning my car

Hey guys I dont know how many have tried this method but I have a S-AFC and a innovate XD-1 Wideband. I dont have the RPM converter so I used my Digital camera to record the runs

First couple of runs I was running in the 9.0-9.8 from 3800-5000rpms so I took about 4points of fuel out and i got it right in the 11s. I started running lean around 6,000rpms so I added a little fuel there but still runs a little on the lean side. I will post my videos when i get home.

Digital Camera, Wideband and S-AFC = cheap way to tune with very accurate logs

SOMEBODY help me host them please just send me a PM or something.

Freaken A! I havent even had my SAFCII installed yet..... (I will need a bigger memory stick) but that's a great idea. I'm a total newb (see my name ) and worse, I drive a regular lancer so I'll pay a pro to do it at least once.... But thanks fer a good idea.

mine loves it right at 11.0 a/f/r @ WOT on 93 oct.. Makes most power there from what i can tell. Anything higher/leaner it doesnt pull as hard. I wish i had a local AWD dyno to see exactly where it starts to fall off at. I have tried a little leaner and a little richer but the hot spot is close to 11.0.
