Not sure about the boost advance though... Wow, ok. This surprises me. The base tune on this car was running high 20s on ignition advance at cruise! I thought it was a bit low. So since I'm running 93 octane I could actually advance the timing even more than where it's at now, right? Anyone have any idea as to how much advance you can run on 93 octane before you get into knock/ping? _________________ 91 Cavalier "GT" <-- old car, I miss her 89 Pontiac Sunbird GT Turbo Convertible <-- old car 91 Cavalier Wagonstein <-- old car 93 Cavalier race car - current car, former dirt circle track car transforming into an autocross/road course whore

With my cam it's a pretty big problem. Main Spark Advance.xls  Description: Download  Filename:  Main Spark Advance.xls  Filesize:  14.5 KB  Downloaded:  47 Time(s) _________________

"These rewritable chips can be found here: http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3130 And you will need to CAREFULLY put it back into the MEMCAL socket." So is this the chip that I need to get for my 91z24 with a 3400? I have a chip from Scott0999 to run the stock 3400 injectors http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=39

You also need the G1 adaptor to use the new EEPROM. http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=25_36&products_id=32 _________________ Midnightriderz24: Where's my Emulator that I paid for?

Is there anything else I need?

I started engine, and revved up at times and for example, the rpm didnt change. Also, TPS stayed the same as I revved. other values ate wacky. Also, the parameters do not match my manual......some missing, some extra. Sheesh.......back to the drawing board.
