when you finally get to the dyno, you'll probably see that that's where all the power is. i don't think the car generates much after the 6k rpm range (but then again, that could be attributed to the drop in a/f).
can't wait to see your results. i've been thinkin' about this mod for a while, but with no real dyno time, it's useless. and dyno time adds up! good luck and keep us posted!

your ecu
hello there, i was just reading some thread about tuning a/f ratios and im interested in find out more about ur xede setup. because i have some mods coming up and i'll still want to tune it properly to get the full potential from it. some questions like how did u tune your ecu, how much it cost and where to get it. thanks alot! and happy holidays!

Good job, hooking that stuff up is not easy to do!
I am glad to see other people using piggyback's to tune their Z's. The xede has worked great for me!

Thought I would trawl the net to learn a bit about Air fuel ratios...
The stock Corvette ZO6 has 15:1 at 2000 RPM , 12.5:1 at 5250RPM and 13:1 at 6500 RPM.
I remember reading that the optimum A/R for power is 12.8 - 13.2:1 and that 16:1+ is possible at lower RPM and smaller throttle openings.
Cheers
Paul

True...optimum A/F ration depends on RPM and engine load. If you are crusiing along at 1/8 throttle, then even 15:1 is fine...since there is no load on the motor. But once you go WOT, you will want to quickly be between 11.5:1 and 13.2:1 depending on your particular setup...F/I..N/A...etc....

yea i was also looking for a crash course in a/f rations so i can further understand what it is...i heard of our ECUs going into safe mode and tuning itself if we through in different variable (mods) and it'll just tune or detune itself to stock numbers making our mods useless until tuned w/ a piggyback unit of a reflash, thats why im looking into the eManage once my mods are on and either tuning it myself so i can get its full potential. $300 for the emanage+$150 for the easy wiring harness (no soldering) and laptop (which i already have...and i'll need a a/f meter/guage too...but..i can tune my car to the appropriate settings to my mods...

well i think i miss-read the item. i double checked, but the ones i saw were for silvias, etc...they offer custome fabricated ones, at unknown cost, i guess you'll have to request a quote..sorry

compatibility.....
by the way chris, do you know if the soldering points are the same for the G35? i'm sure the ecu's are the same, but i wonder if all the pins are. can you see if it says anything about it in the manual? thanks in advance.

Great Chris, really great! Thanks to you I had to order an e-manage system from Mohd. Spent over 500 USD and got a superb service and a great system.
Keep on posting so my money can flow into the economy! Your post helped me a lot!
THANKS

hey chris thanks for posting your experiences, it prompted me to go ahead and buy the e-manage and zeitronix wideband.
I had an initial dyno tonight with 249.65. hp and 230.87 tq . This is with the jwt popcharger and crawford plenum.....straight pipes on next.....
I had been slightly concerned with the a/f ratios and the dyno came up with 14.2:1 @ 4300 rpms, so I guess it's a good thing, and much more cost effective than a reflash, which I don't want to have to do until I get a TT.
