Fuel injected 2 step?

[Ed Wright]

Art, 4 cylinders probably sound a lot rougher than an 8. 12.8 is where I run mine. If your ECM is fast enough that should get it. You tap the L key on mine to make it learn. Takes more than once. If you can set the Gain for the learn function kinda low it won't be as likely to over shoot the target. Mine tends to do that, go too far first time. I just log it and make a change, then run & log it again. I can usually hit second time if not the first.

I have a quick tune function., that I can pick a box map/rpms And type the afr I want then type the actual afr and it adjusts automaticly. It is very accurate if you are within .5 of what you want. If you are getting readings of 11.0 and you want 13.0 it takes a couple of trys to get it right.
The motor is making plenty of power. But my short times are off by 4 to 5 tenths (not hundreths).. If I can get the darned thing to launch even like last year (low 1.70's). I'm looking at some respectable times.
I will go back to the trans brake if needed (1.60's) but I've been breaking a lot.

To get a good look at it that low try foot braking it from very low with no 2 step. Might be worth a try.

The problem with that (I've tried it) is as soon as the throttle gets open enough to get to 100kpa's. It pushes past the brakes big time. I had a "looser" converter made and it was actually much tighter. The one in the car flashes to 5200 the "loose" one flashes to 3500.
My thoughts are it needs to be richend up a lot (2 step seems to act better when richer) when on the 2 step but I'm afraid of hurting something.

I'm going to try a 2 step with my car this year. One thing with my set up, the O2 sensor reads nothing at my preferred starting line RPM due to its location and with my crossmember, I can not add a collector extesion to help the situation. I did try 2 stepping one time and it was so overfueled it barely stayed running, then left like a slug. For foot braking it likes more fuel in those cells. I will pull a bunch of fuel out of those cells when I try it this spring.

Ed, you posted sometime ago regarding percentage of AFR change, equaled? What was that again?

If the V.E. table & injector flow rate are set up correctly the V.E. around the torque peak should be around 100%, then if you want to lean from 12-1 to 13-1, subtract 10%, should be really close. To go the other way add 10%. 13-1 to 12.5, add 5%, etc.
Works with FAST XFI & Big Stuff3, DFI, should work with any system. Your results may vary. LOL

I think my problem is semi solved. Still does the herky-jerky on the brakes.
I went back and used the standard launch control program (non advanced mode)
But it doesn't go to 2000 and die there.
We will know tomorrow.
