I have been running my car with a base zzp tune with afc for a few years and now that i have the cam installed and hopefully the a/a intercooler soon i need some advise on where to start. my mods are below any help would be great.

a/a intercooler
60/65lb injectors
st3 cam
powerlog front, ported angled rear mani
afc for scaling

Much better, so lets start from scratch. What maf do you have, how much is the AFC already scaled? Does the current tune know the car has 65lb injectors?

What you're going to need is Tommygloves on here to send you a PT file with probably a scaled mid/upper maf portion, little taken off the idle area, and that should be a good start. You said on CGP that your tuner only works half the time? You'll probably want to get the car running on the current file and whatnot, get a scan to Tommy, then he can make the necessary adjustments from home, and send it back for you to start with.

OR you can get a scan, post it here, and we'll tell you what to do. Tommy is a super cool guy, so i'm sure he wouldn't mind sending you a file to start with. He definitely knows his way around the PT.

maf is stock 97 the computer is set for 42's afc set to higher 80's for fuel and varies per maf range. I will have to right down where they are and get a scan. What should i get in a scan? I prefer to use my ls1m if possible for scans just due to being easier most of the time.

Get the fuel trims, maf hz, o2, TPS, the usual stuff you would like to see in a scan that you're using to tune with. Glad you finally got this sucker running.
