Re: 305 TBI TFS 175cc heads tuning help
I took a look at the 2nd log and noticed that during your WOT run you were hitting way over 85% duty cycle which isn't good. As to why I cant really give you a definitive answer I'm sure others here can help much more then I. Based on my own experience your fuel pressure may be to low you didnt mention what pressure your running. Other things that can also cause this to happen are really big dips in the upper ve tables which you do have from what I saw. Your tables could also use some more work they need to be alot smoother with no sharp transitions. This is just coming from my own experience so I'm not stating any of it as fact besides knowing that you need to take care of the duty cycle issue. If you don't get any other replys here I suggest emailing your datalog and bin to rbob. Your datalog also didnt include the WB02 data. I've run into this issue myself on the laptop you recorded the datalog with you need to convert to a .csv to read in excel before moving the .dat file. If you email or post just the .dat file like you posted before converting it the WB02 data will be missing which is definitely helpful to have when reading a log.

Tune so the AE ceases just after the PE begins in your logs with good launch. Change the A/F ratio in PE to allow the best MPH in 1320 feet. Same for SA adjustments in PE at same 1320. I am at 37 deg at WOT 100MAP at red line. Edelbrock RPM 64cc.
Or dyno time.

For anyone wanting to look at EBL .dat data logs, the WUD programs can be downloaded from our web site. Be sure to use the correct one for the EBL system that created the log.
For the EBL Classic and EBL Flash, the WUD for looking at data logs is interchangeable. You can use either the EBL Flash or EBL Classic WUD for either system.
For the EBL P4 and EBL SFI-6 systems, need to use the WUD for that system. Note that they will each display the other systems log file, but some data may not be correct.

Re: 305 TBI TFS 175cc heads tuning help
Did not realize that you were not using a wideband. Just looking at the VE tables and the narrowband 02 sensor, the thing seems like it is probably running very rich up top. Also notice in one of the acceleration runs, something that looked like clutch slippage as the RPM was near 6,000 rpm.

Re: 305 TBI TFS 175cc heads tuning help
I noticed your AE settings allow far too much AE during the shifts. Also seems like your fuel pressure is bouncing around alot at WOT.
You are also dropping out of PE during the shift. I would set your PE TPS table values above 3,200 rpm to ZERO. This will keep the target air/fuel ratio at PE value during the shift. Then work on DE to help keep the air/fuel ratio from going so rich. Might also add some extra throttle follower at high RPM. Set your IAC MAX TF Steps from 160 to 255. This will help get you some more airflow through the throttle body at WOT. This will also help combat that rich spike when letting off the throttle by keeping the airflow greater.

Re: 305 TBI TFS 175cc heads tuning help
Fast,
Would you suggest maxing out the IAC at WOT even for an SPFI system? My MAP can be 100+ at WOT.
Are u using more TF at higher rpm to keep revs up during shifts?

Re: 305 TBI TFS 175cc heads tuning help
Wouldn't hurt to try IMO. It can help keep the revs from dropping off as quickly and keep the mixture from spiking so rich when the throttle is closed.

Re: 305 TBI TFS 175cc heads tuning help
One other thing I suggest is looking at your rev limiter. Both SA reduction and Fuel Cut-off. I think I saw values of 7k. Not needed with a 6k shift point. I would pu the SA reduction to 6k and fuel kill at 6,200.fuel resume can be 5,900.

Yea I posted pics of VE AE &SA all at same time do they not show up for y'all ? Its like post 15 in this thread ... And 1000-4000 seems ok I guess but it really don't start pulling hard till 4k and up ... A little more torque on the little end would b great ... The only lace I've ever seen ANY knock counts the whole time is the low rpm low map area around 1000-1500rpm and 25-45 map or kpa or whatever ... Low load not high load lol

I have a set of the tfs heads and hooker 2055 headers to go on my 305tbi. Having to build in stages due to money. Can I put them on with stock program for 88 firebird computer or do I need to wait?

About the most u can do with a stock tune is headers , full exhaust system ( go single 3.5" mandrel bent) intake and throttle body mods, and 1.6,roller rockers ... Them u still need to advance ur base timing from 0 to 2-6 degrees and bump fuel pressure to 15psi ... But a GOOD tune will bring out the most of any mods u make .... Soon as u change compression, heads, or can a tune is a must !!!!..and us gonna need to upgrade ur fuel pump for anything over 250hp ... Also I soul's go with a little biger can than I went with ... I'd say 220+@.050 intake ... And try to getí as close to .550 lift as possible to get these heads in their sweet spot lll
