In Megasquirt (and I'm sure others), all your tables are based off AFR numbers you pull out of your butt, which could work if your engine actually likes 14.7:1 for cruise. Or, if your W/B-O2 is even reading correctly.

If you can tune a carb, you can probably tune EFI, but it really depends on what the ECU lets you mess with and/or how user-friendly it is.

Cold start is the hardest to tune, because you only get one shot each day.

But - I have heard lots of negative about FiTech.

Would you be willing to PM me your various tables and settings? I have no experience with FiTech, but I might be some help. Maybe. Free, anyway.

I have had more luck with changing around the AFR #'s than just about anything. My idle AFR is currently set at 14.2 default is 13.6 which is way too rich IMO.

I will take any help I can get...no harm in trying almost anything at this point! Will send you a PM. Thanks
