Default What is your baseline tune?

Getting a poll....

1. What is your Timing set at? I am at 14
2. What is your Fuel Pressure at Idle? 38psi
3. What is your TPS at? .97volt
4. Where are your RPMs at Idle (stable or searching)? 900 (searching)

Needless to say.....I am having the popular, post-H/C/I Idle problems

Wow...you are at 10-degrees too? I thought there is more performance at a higher timing?

not always
you also have to understand that I run a stand alone EMU, that means I can set my timing to whatever I want... but I leave my distrubutor at 10° and have my trigger offset, set to match.

So I guess my question is, I think that my settings are at a good place, but I am still having issues......what do you think?

Do I need an IAC adjuster.....or a Diablo Chip with a Dyno tune.....(there is a place by me that does it for $400)

people have idle problems post H/C/I because the car is running too lean for the new mods, and the timing is not what it could be.

A dyno tune would be your best bet
