Tuning EMS, Fuel and Ignition Options

[McMark]

I'm installing the beta KitCarlson FI and I'm turning my attention to tuning. I have access to a wide band O2 sensor setup for tuning in the FI part of the setup, but I'm not exactly sure how to optimize the ignition. My initial assumption is to install an EGT gauge. I would think this coupled with knowing the AFR would clue me into the ignition. There are so many factors I can modify that I'm having trouble keeping it all straight. Help me figure out what I need to do to get it well tuned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

On the kit itself, how far is it from production quality, in your opinion? Better or worse than SDS? IMHO, Kit should include at least one person who's mechanically inclined, but has never fitted aftermarket EFI to an engine before, as a test. Leave them alone to figure it out for themselves, and only answer questions asked. That can tell you a lot about what needs to be included in the instructions.

From what I've seen the kit is 95% production quality. I've modified the wiring harness so that it mimics the stock harness and hopefully that will be an option from Jeff B. to make the install much faster. I know Jake and Dave are doing a bit more tuning/testing of extreme and oddball situations. I'm the odd man tester. I know what's going on with the stock FI and I understand the theories of the KC EMS, but I've never installed aftermarket FI before. In the production version it should be pretty easy. The wiring harness will fall into place and the tuning will be available to stock engines. So it should be pretty plug and play. Super cool! I'm so ready for FI that works well.
