SD tuning questions/suggestions?

Ok,
I've spewed this a few times now. I've got the 30-40KPA and 50-60KPA values down pretty well... Engine idles at 58-61KPA. Now in order to get the higher values of the KPA ranges, what would i need to do. I've basically disabled the TPS threshold as Tim has, that way i never get into PE. I live in the flattest place on earth. I was discussing this with a friend and we MIGHT even put a hitch on my car and tow things around just so i can get some load on my car for tuning!
(seriously)
Anybody have any ideas at all?
One other thing, how drastic does the MAT change your values?, i have been reading that the weather does affect your tuning ALOT, earlier today(80degree/f) it was running, same chip later tonight it runs a little bit richer all around the band, thats pretty much normal right?

Hahahaha,
I live by greenville,
anyway looks like you need to spend some time at the I70-75 interchange area. That's were I do some of my drivibility stuff.

MAT just covers things for temp., and while relocating it might help a little, I'd suggest leving where it is, and try more tuning.

Going from 60 to 100 K/Pa, you'll want to pull timing out, and in the VE tables add fuel.

Starting at like 2,400

58 cc heads drop the WOT timing down to 36-28 degrees

64 cc heads drop to 32-34

76 cc heads 34-36

THESE ARE JUST ROUGH NUMBERS
the intake valve closing point will have a huge effect on those numbers

At less then 2,400 you might even run negative numbers for timing depending on your converter and weight of car
HTH

When in a REAL pinch you can *attempt* to use the brakes to hold the car back while reving at a particular rpm. I have done this on several occasions and it works out ok (not great ... but ok)

Tim,
The brake theory works very well(costs pads alot though)
Oh well. I'm thinking that a trailer hitch is going to be the best route.. seriously. I think i can get a direct bolt on and then use the near by state route to get data.

PS, i'll have to get some pictures of the car with the trailer on it ;P
