PE tuning
I notice that there is a lot of info on tuning the VE tables, but not much on PE. I understand the basics fairly well, but what I really need to know is this: Is it possible to tune the PE tables without a WB O2 sensor?

even with a WB you still need to measure performance
Just set you fuel for the best performance weither stop watch, Gtech, or at the strip
(Butometer is lousy as a watch).
Read the plugs looking for detonation.

My main concern is getting the A/F into the ballpark before I spend lots of money on dyno time. Aside from that, the nearest dyno is an hour from here. My motor tends to want a lot more fuel on the top end, and I'm afraid of running dangerously lean.

Richen it up and do the same thing.
Should get in on the DIY-WB deal.
Hard to beat $16 (board and parts kit), and $130 (for the sensor) to get a real WB. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but hey it would help see where you are.

They are just now shipping the last boards on the GP. But should be starting agin in a few weeks. The best way is to sub, and lurk till they announce another board GP. It's all by volunteers, and a non profit item so the penalty is having to wait till it rolls around, to get in on it.
