Laptop Crashed!!

Spring is coming again, and so is the time to continue tuning my car. However, about a month ago my laptop crashed, and all the files I had, minus a few datalogs, I had saved remotely is gone.

In my mind this leaves me no option but to start over from scratch. I have an 86 corvette with a 383, some head, intake, and cam work.

At this point I was wondering if someone could get me started with a stock bin, and known good definition for tunerpro that I could start working from. I know the first time I started this a while ago some of you guys sent me some stuff. At this point I would entertain 6E or the 32, whichever you guys think best of me to start with. I'm gonna have to look back at the stickies and the 32 is highlighted.

From where I left off, part throttle was liveable, but rich on WOT. I could read the chip I have, but my notes for what changes have been made are gone. I dont know if I would be spinning my wheels by fooling with that or not, maybe a fresh start would be better. Who knows!

Thanks,
Craig

I know this isn't what you asked about but...

There are quite a few programs you could use to try to recover the files from your laptop. Even if it's been reformatted. When it crashed, did you have a new hard drive put in it? Or just a re-install of windows?

I had our IT guy at work look at it, and he got it up and running again. I could try and find out what he tried. I don't know much about this particularly, I was more concerned about getting it fixed for the spring months.

Re: Laptop Crashed!!

I just downloaded 32 and 6E along with the bin's. I think I ran into a similar problem last time with these files not working. Most of it looks right, but there are a few tables that are wrong, or I believe them to be wrong, that makes me think the files, or definitions are wrong.

For instance, the numbers below are from the 86TPI32 bin, and the 32xdf from moates. These numbers are the Power Enrichment AF % chg vs RPM.

-28.00
-28.00

-24.88
-21.75
