Fine tuning with TuneBoy

I started with 5% and 10% then went up from there. Some have gone as high as 25%.

A quick way to do it is highlight a block of the area you want to change and hit F8. Then you just have to enter the % you want to change. Make sure to do it for each of the L1, L2 and L3 maps.

If you still have problems, pm me your email and which tune you are using and I'll send you a tune with the changes made.

Thanks Pig9r--You can tell I'm a newbie, can't you? Anyhow, I'm running the 20050_3 tune right off the TuneBoy website. So, if you don't mind I would love to just PM you, which I'll do right now, and get you to send me the tune with the changes already made. No sense re-inventing the wheel here...Thanks again-Ken B.

BTW, Pig9r, where can I find a listing of the F key functions, like the F8 you mentioned for entering percentages? Thanks-Ken B.

I am using the M18 plug with a metal washer not fiber. Anything other than metal with not hold the vibration and heat and keep a tight seal. You can use "Victor" muffler mender on the bolt to make an air tight seal that won't burn away!

Yeah, I found out about the fiber washer the hard way. It lasted about 5 miles and blew out. I replaced it with a brass washer and I also coated the threads with anti-seize. That seems to be working OK.

If you use the above plug you will need a metal washer. Thats the only type of washer that will stand up to the heat and vibration in that location. You will need to seal it tight "muffler mender" by victor. A little dab will do ya, around the threads. Other-wise you'll have an exhaust leak and more back-fireing.
