Not yet, but will be installed shortly. I'll take an alky map as well for comparison, part throttle and such should all be the same and I'll still get an idea where boost timing would be. I just want to verify this map that's in it. Thanks!
I just recently got my car fired up on an XFI system from Cal, he put base tune on there for alky injection. so far driving it has been very smooth, but then again I've only been cruising the car. no where near WOT yet (still breaking in the new motor) I could send you the timing map I have on there tonight when I get back home if you're interested
Sure, that would be appreciated! Mine feels and runs pretty well and the map "looks" ok to me but I'm not familiar with what these like for cruise timing and such, so something to compare to would be great. Thanks!
Thank you very much, it appears that they are similar with the exception of me running less up top due to no alky. Glad to see that they at least got the timing map right on this thing lol. As for Cal, I had called them about tuning the car and getting a basemap emailed to make the drive to him with and they never returned my call
. I've got it so close now that I don't think I'll bother at this point, just have some cleaning up to do here and there. I just have some idle issues that are driving me insane that I can't seem to lick. I'm starting to think it may be mechanical and not the tune. That's a whole 'nother post though lol.Thank you very much, it appears that they are similar with the exception of me running less up top due to no alky.

Do you know what your idle AFR is? Mine definitely runs smoother with more fuel but still doesn't seem right. I had my injectors cleaned and they're good, new motor with TRW/speed pro pistons, Champion ported heads and 206 roller. I was almost wondering if the lash was too tight, but with the tools I have at my disposal here, it appears that I'm only running around .030 on Morel rollers, so I don't think it's hanging the valves. Who knows.
12.8-13.0 is what I've got
I'm reading some here and wondering if I'm just trying to idle it too lean. I was shooting for 14.5 and it was terrible, ran it to 13.8 and it was much better but not right. I found an intake leak causing it to suck oil in, fixed that and the idle got much better, even back up at 14.5. I was happy that it was "fixed" but once the excitement wore off, I noticed it still wasn't right. I haven't tried running it that rich at idle. I'm going to mess around with it some tomorrow. I just saved a test tune with a 12.7 idle AFR just to see what happens. I'll keep you posted! Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the tips. I'll mess around with it more tomorrow and see. Only thing about it possibly being mechanical is that is no matter how it is idling, I blip the throttle and it is nice and crisp, no stumbles, cylinder loss, etc.- which probably wouldn't be the case if it was a mechanical issue. Has had me stumped for a while now. Had me wondering if I had put the cam in a tooth off, mis-measured the push rods, etc.- all of which I have NEVER done before with the maybe 50 motors I've built but keep torturing myself with the "there is a first time for everything" thought lol.
No problem! Since you're in Florida if you're close to Cal you may want to see if he can take a look over your car and the tune at the same time, if you can get a hold of him [emoji23]
Thanks for the advice. While this isn't my first rodeo with tuning, it is my first time using a holley and first turbo regal I've tuned. Most of my experience is all HP Tuners and LS stuff. That said, this one has been kicking my butt with the idle. All else is perfect, cruise, wot acceleration, hot/cold start, etc. Just can't shake this rough idle.
