The way you explain things I seem to comprehend them better than reading or better than some others I found explaining it. I know so much is experiance that takes time. It's overwhelming. Appreciate the small tutorials you have done thus far. Keep it up

      Familiarize yourself with PLC Logic controls systems. Almost all PC based programming systems Holley, Fueltech, Allen Bradley (industrial/mfg). To simplify they all work on the principal of Inputs, Outputs, and Control. Learning this will not teach you how to tune a timing map, but it will give you a greater understanding of how computerized control system work. O and if your carbs stubblin on tip in i cannot replace an accelerator pump ona carb over the phone.....but i can fix a tip in with a couple keystrokes from wherever. Dont have fear, Fuel injection allows anybody from anywhere give you a hand.

      Also there are systems like the Sniper that are self learning, you get the economy and simplicity of EFI, with some power gains too in the right set up, but you don’t need to get into the computer at all if you don’t want to. Combine that with a solid state ignition system and any old car can be switched over. There are pre made plug in harnesses available for common swaps and vehicles. All the plugs are labelled or uniquely pinned so you can’t screw up plugging them in.

    @pearlbluesoul 3 роки тому +1

    Just a thought, because I love seeing the 'sauce' and this is most definitely the sauce of tuning, might try using OBS to capture the screen and loop in your GoPro to speak to. It can do live screen captures off software running on the computer while doing a Picture In Picture of the GoPro feed. Would enable you to get a higher res version of the screen and still let you focus the camera on you, but out of the way while you run the computer.
    So cool to see this, would love to see more!!

    Good timing on this video KSR Kevin, I've been wanting to use Holley IAC on the Bikes I tune. Even though Idle Spark only helps a bit I hate having to hold the throttle for high-idle on cold starts and warm ups. Love ALL of your videos and it feels good knowing my self taught thoughts and ideas about EFI tuning (in general) are in line with what you talk about in your video(s). Things like I learned to set the Start Fuel a little above what each setup wants at idle (plus ramped up at cooler CTS) and I have always been a firm believer in doing "complete tunes" on everything, even if it's a dry-block drag race only bike that get's pushed up to staging lanes and back to the pits after the runs😎
