The car looks great! If you're not opposed to killing your brakes, I start at a low rpm ordinate in the VE map and drag the brakes to maintain that rpm while slowly adding more throttle to work through from one cell to the next in the same rpm column. Rinse and repeat from one rpm break point to the next until you dont want to drag your brakes that hard as the rpm gets higher and the car is making more power. In this scenario, your brakes are the load bearing dyno. Much faster and more effective than just driving around with autotune on. The brakes take a bit of a beating, but just let them cool off between rpm points and you'll be fine.

Yep good idea. 👍🏼

I can recommend you first set-up auto tune window differently. Start from RPM above idle and start above TPS > 2-3 % because then you avoid messing up idle cells. You just want to tune cruising. You will not reach all cells, for example top left corners or bottom right corners. Autotune is just for simple cruise. If you put engine under load you should do it manually. Be smart when you apply values from autotune. Sometimes it suggest not really effective values. When you have applied values from autotune, you have to clear your logs. Lets say you have applied autotune values and you can see in VE table spikes. Just put on right side higher values. Higher values make you safe. Then just interpolate horizontal. Lets say you have selected any cell in the middle of VE table, cells on the right side should have higher values. Values in the cell top bottom corner is lower then above. There you interpolate vertically. I would recommend you to read the ecu master black guideline about "how to create a ve table". there is a link to their google drives I guess. Good luck.

Hate that the newer version of emu black doesn’t have ego correction anymore unless I’m dumb

[@fox-body]

I’m sure it does. It’s a must on any stand alone.
