any one wiilling to give a newbie starting advice

As my previous posts says I just got my TPI in and running

I am using craig's software

any how I took my car for a quick rip around the neighborhood logging data

is there any one willing to look at the data and bin to give me a good idea of where I should start modifying?

or if this isnt some thing people normally do point me to some where that will be a good resource


now another question

every time I turn off my car the rad boils over unless i let it idle for a min or so

is there a way to make the computer keep the fan on for a bit after turning the key off?
or should I just lower the on temp for the fan to turn on ( which is set to on=107.8C off=104.8C) it has a 190 thermostat

hope i am not asking retarded questions this is a brand mew world for me. not getting my hands dirty

I'd start by reading Traxion's tech article...there are several good links there to tuning info...kinda read those and piece together where to start. FIRST thing I did when I got my burner was to turn my fan on temps down...then I tweaked the simple things...like idle speed, etc. THEN started on fuelling tables...I haven't even started looking at spark yet...but I don't have much time to futz with it. There are several good posts on this board on where/how to start and I have printed off many. If you have a question on something...do a search for it on here and read the posts...you may have to search a few different ways to find the answers you want.

Other than that...the general mood I have found among prom burner pros is 'dive in and figure it out yourself and you'll learn more'...
