FAST 93 Octane tune Safe ?

[v8killr4u]

Well Im new to FAST and tuning actuall its not even in my car yet, just sitting at the house. My question is how many FAST/SpeedPRO users are running a 93 Octane tune. Any issues with running a Pump gas tune? What kind of timing are you guys running and how much boost. I just want safe timing and safe boost levels. I'll create a race tune for 110 later, but for now i just need a 93 Tune. Am i asking for trouble at this point in the game with my combo and should just run 110 or 93 and alchy, but its 93 for right now.

How many of you guys are running pump gas safely

Good questions. I'm eager to see what everyone posts.

Of course.... that is the beauty of a programmable system.

Just keep the timing around 19 degrees and the boost around 17 or 18.

watch for knock and keep the airfuel a little rich.

Who did you get the Fast system from? the vendor should be able to provide you with a baseline pump gas program.

Ive had a few board members send me a pump gas program. Timing set around 19* and boost around 16-17lbs. Now i just need to look at all these tables and see what they mean. lol

Would you mind sending me the programs? I would like to look at them also.

You need, an EGT guage, a WB, and brush up on plug reading.
Engine tunes vary, and being too conservative can be just as dangerous as being to aggressive.

Did you ask your vendor for a start-up program?.

21d, and 14 PSI would be a safe starting point.
Oh, and get a notebook, and learn to take good notes. Developing a log, and then being able to look for trends is priceless.

I can help ya out with a pump gas tune on the fast. Since i have installed my system i have run nothing but pump gas.

i I tuned my pump gas @ 18-19 psi with 18 degrees of timing car runs great got a 7.70 @ 91 with it Along with blowing up my trans in second gear

got a new trans in it and @ 14-14.5 psi on the data log i netted a 8.14 @ 86 @ piedmont the other day.


i'm currently working on getting gas mileage. car currently runs well @ 70 mph @ 15-6 A/F with 38 degrees of timing @ 68-72 kpa with 16-18 percent throttle.

i can give ya a copy of my fuel maps and timing maps car has 55 lbs inj

I know it is old, but what kind of mileage is this yielding?
