what i meant is general guidelines, one of my friend put an intake, mbc, downpipe and some other stuff. i kept telling him to get the car tuned and when we finally got the car to the dyno he was running 12.9 afr at wot. all i asked is for some guidelines to correct stuff like that until you get hold of a real tuner ( which in most cases takes time).
thanks.
thanks.

1) AF ratio depends on a lot of things like how safe you want to be, how much throttle you are inputting, what fuel you are using, etc. Generally regarded as a nice mix between safety and power output on pump gas is about 11.5:1. Any richer (lower) and you are just running rich and wasting gas. This is on a FI car. On a NA car you can get away with 13.5:1 or so.
2) Timing should be advanced as much as it can without pinging or knocking. Again, it's dependent on boost level, AF ratio, fuel, etc.
This is nothing in relation to what "tuning" actually connotes. It's just a simple piece of information to get you started. Basically it all depends on the tuner's philosophy and 100 other variables including the ones mentioned above. Good luck.
I recommend you get in touch with Mark at TurboTrix Racing.

A pretty valuable intro to these and many other topics can be found in the AEM EFI basic guide, which is included in the AEM EMS software distribution. Also can check it out here:

Maybe this will help, if you are tuning with a SAFC:
