Ok, just got my lubrant chip. Now I took out the car for some MUCH needed tuning. First off I set the fp to a static 40psi. And put the boost at 14 psi. Kept adding some boost till the stock gauge maxed out (I know I need to get that boost gauge hooked up so I will tonight :D ). I still don't have ANY knock retard so I'm gonna keep turning it up little by little till I get around 2*. o2 was at 823. So I kept backing the fp off till I got to 38# now and the o2 is still at 803. I'm scared to lower it anymore but it's still pretty rich. I did forget to look at the blm's like a dummy but after I get some gas I'll take it back out and tune some more...with my boost gauge hooked up of course! Also stalling a little here and there. The only codes I have are 45 and 51. How long do the codes stay in the ecm? I'm thinking the 45 is from the fact that I started the car a couple times without a chip in it to move the car. Thanks for any help!
 
Ok, some more info: BLM @WOT is 128 which I thought was pretty good but I still have that high o2 level (800+). Tps is at .46@idle and only 4.3@WOT. Do I need a new one? Also checked the ohm's across the coil towers and they are higher then the recommended from gnttype.org. They are 14.7X, 15.01, 14.8X. Is this ok also? Thanks, just trying to get the car running like it's supposed to.
 
Disconnect the orange wire by the battery to clear the codes from the computer.
Low 800's on pump gas is pretty good. Save the 760's for race gas.
My chips from JL lock the BLMs at 128 at WOT.
