I would still recommend letting Shawn Church tune it and you should be fine.

 

he charged me 325 last time for zero'ing out the unit, and told me to comeback when i had everything squared away, i virtually paid for nothing when i went to him, which is why im soooo discouraged in using him again.

now i have the fic and im terrified of taking it to him and then he gives me some other reason why he cant tune it and then charges me an additional 325 AGAIN....

that's not fair buisness.

 

That sounds VERY unlike Shawn. Shawn is very fair and has one hell of a business over there. Call him and speak to him about it.

 

what size are your injectors, and what did he scale them to?

 

injector size is 440cc

 

and how much boost?

 

7psi' ish

 

I'm running really rich right now, im sitting at 10.2 all the way when i boost, im so rich right now that im making almost no power.. my dyno numbers came in at 170hp yesterday .. i m ____ed about that on top of worrying about where to go for a re-tune

 

that sounds strange that you cant get afrs up any higher. how much timing is pulled?

 

hell if i know .. im gonna call up shawn today and see what i can do ..

 

here are some questions you should ask.

1. what size are your injectors scaled to?
2. how much timing is pulled?
3. are you throwing any codes due to knock?
4. are you throwing any random missfire codes?
5. are you getting spark to all cyllinders?


also take some pics of your setup.

 

I know that I have thrown some random missfire codes myself, and the car is rich........ I know that my car became more stable as I drove it more but the richness still persists I bet your problem has something to do with the timing map...but definitley let the pro tune it

 

Just a thought. Most widebands don't show below 10.1 AFR. Perhaps you are way richer than that and you'r not taking out enough fuel to register on the wideband. I have heard of this before, worth a try.
If your running richer than 10/1, you would definately missfire from the spark being drown out.

 

Little bit off topic, but does anyone here know if I can adjust my cars rev limit with the AEM FI/C unit?

 

Do you have a built head on the car?

 

Not as of yet. But I understand the point you are trying to get at, I'm just curious as if this unit has this feature. I came upon a very good deal on one and I just need to know if it does or does not for future referance.

 

It does not alter the rev limiter.

 

Thank you =)

 

No prob.


Remember: No sense in revving higher if you are not making the power up there. If your power band falls off a cliff after stock redline, you are merely giving yourself a stroke job by revving higher.

 

haha .. he said stroke job ...

just kidding .. sorry.
