It has been brought up in several other threads that we need a place to kind of centralize a lot of the tuning info that is available for the focus. Things pertaining to the ECU and adjustments to the mapping of our cars.[woot]
A lot of people know a whole bunch about tuning their cars and they never tell anyone because of the time and effort involved in gaining the knowledge is expensive and the return should be profitable.
However lets go over some general things. How to program with an XCAL, XCAL2, Predator, Megasquirt, PRP, etc. No one has to give up their specific values obviously, but if we can make it a little less scary for people to start datalogging and tuning their own cars we would have more pro's to be able to turn to.

Right now there is a shortage of good "tuners" available. I would first and foremost recommend 1turbofocus aka Turbo Tom aka Tom.[hatchet] What ever he wants just give it to him and let him do his thing. That said, honhon, illinipo, and tons of you guys know a great deal about spark adjustments, transmission fluid pressure adjustments, how to use PRP, how to use the devices previously mentioned, so here is the thread everyone wants and no-one wanted to dare start, and because you volunteered illinipo, its your's....[thankyou]
