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)

thanks for the info James on the curves.....oh yea, meet our new "partner" Mark, in the LM-1 owners group.......I hope you don't mind.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

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.

on a side note, there is some a-hole on the Megasquirt forum b!!@#ing about the MS and how if he had the money he'd buy an AEMs FI instead 'cause he cannot figure out the MS (he's half expecting people to figure "everything" out for him, the idiot must not have read any of the manual to get even half a clue how the thing works).....I'm giving up on the VR sensor in the distributor, I screwed up a brand new $30 VR sensor (second one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ) and I cannot afford doing the RD on this anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I will pursue the optical 72-2 wheel, but it'll be one of those round-tuit projects (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm dropping the motor this weekend to install the crankfire wheel and trigger....wish me luck in not breaking anything, LOL
