Get your Afr table setup and do a week or so of auto tuning before going to the dyno. Its super easy. Plus it will mean less money spent on the dyno.
I've been told by many that you really should only utilize the dyno to get your timing map setup properly. Mostly everything else you can do yourself, and you'll have a better tune running auto tune as much as possible.

yea what I did was left the Authority Limits whatever tuner studio had by default, started with Easy/Normal and drove around for a while till it started showing some major changes. Drop Cell Change Resistance to Normal/Hard and repeat.
Then decrease Authotity Limits to be a bit tighter so it won't change as rastically, then repeat from Normal to Very Hard.
But lots and lots of driving.

No idea... I copied this chart from y8s in a thread somewhere on here... Braineack commented that his chart was extremely similar so I assumed it was good/safe to use lol
Ok im going to give it a shot tomorrow weather/time - permitting

Noted thanks. Temps should be ~70 here the next few days so that should work... I plan to put the car away for the winter by next month and it will be back out in the spring for a new rad, catch can, torsen, and possibly a brake upgrade... we'll see lol

So I noticed there is no AFR reading... I looked in my console where I have my LC-2 controller mounted and the light was blinking green... According to their instructions that means that the sensor is "warming up"... How long should it take to warm up? I had the car running for ~3 minutes...
This is what it was showing...

Mine does that pretty consistently. Normally turning it on and off again fixes it. Might wire up a button to reset it. I've heard this is kind of normal. If you plug in your serial cable to the LC-2 and run the logging software it seems that the sensor gets stuck at warming up. I called Innovate and they said if the voltage drops below 12V at any point during warm up it can happen. Try restarting the car.

I also had a mishap where I left the plastic protective cap on the sensor while it was plugged in (Sensor was zip tied off to the side) and the plastic melted onto the sensor. I'm wondering if that somehow damaged it...

I just realized I never re-calibrated the sensor when I re-installed it (I have since scraped off that melted plastic from a few months back) I'll see if I can get a calibration done and see if that changes anything... I re-started the car about 5 times just now and nothing changed

I think the sensor is dead... Its heating up while I was letting it calibrate, but the calibration mode never completed. The instructions say to let it go for 30-60 seconds... I waited about 3 minutes. Im going to order another sensor and try again
I just used the pre-set values for lc-1/lc-2
