Default got a livewire...got questions

So I just got my livewire in last night and I was going through all the settings. For anybody that has one:
what should i set my spark to
what about wot air fuel
what about making it run leaner
and the tire size thing how do I know what to set it to? i have 275/40/17
also i got it on ebay so no free tunes from american muscle but is there anywhere I can find any?

thanks

I do not have that particular tuner, but it should come with a preloaded canned performance tune. Load that. Then be sure you use 93 octane because it will have advanced the spark and you will have issues if you don't. As for adjusting the WOT fuel tables, I would leave that alone if I were you unless you have a wideband a/f ratio guage and can log the data. You don't want to lean it out unless you can look at the a/f ratio. Your best bet would be to load the performance tune, or find a good dyno tuner that uses that program and have them dyno tune your car.

i have a livewire... go on their website and update it before you use it, some options dont work without update...heres how mine is setup

spark: high as it can go...2-6 depends on the rpm
air/fuel: left it alone since i dont have many mods to affect that
tire revs: i left this alone because i didnt about the maybe .5mph its off...go find a tire rev calculator with google and type in your tire specs and it will tell you your revs/mile, then plug that into the tuner
traction control: off
