Default Timing/Tuning Question

So i got my sniper tuner all dialed in for 93 octane at the track. i love it. i got the timing set through the tuner, will i cancel the timing out if i get the steeda cam adjusters? because i hear they add alot of torque. (i have not had the car re-dynoed) i only had it dynoed when it was stock (242hp, 285tq) before all mods.

also i want to create a tune for better MPG any suggestions on what to set it at? just retard the timing a tad? and lean out the fuel a tad right?

What the hell is the steeda cam adjusters? If your talking about the timing adjuster you don't need it anymore. Bump the timing with sniper until you either start to detonate or start losing power. Then back off 2* of timing.

If you want MPG tune you have to have a wideband. I will not tell you how to set the tune up for it without a wideband.

242rwhp stock BS
