I needed them a while ago, these are the values I used in my "base tune"

It sure would make it easier to correct the Speedo no matter what tire size you ran.

Okay stock tach and speedo work!!! Whoo...tuning is done...just waiting for the Zeitronix ZT2 wideband kit to complete the gauges and tune. Vehicle was left outside last night (not plugged in) and when tuner went to start it. It stalled the first time, but when he started it the second time it stayed on and idles fine. He needs the O2 sensor (wideband) to see what the car is doing (rich or lean) on cold start.

Just gotta tweak that, hook up the zt2 to the magden computer and lcd screen to display my fuel pressure, oil pressure, and a/f ratio.

Probably did and he's having so much fun that he hasn't got out the driver's seat since he first jumped in it. lol

Anxious to hear about status too.

Sorry guys haha.

The wideband kit did come today, im gonna get it to the shop tomorrow. I was busy programming the smart usb to serial cable to let the Magden talk to the ZT2 and add those extra gauges. Im hoping to have her all running by end of the week, if not early next week. Done and finished. i'll send lots of pics after.

*update

Should be getting my car back Monday!!!!! Can't wait.

Also, i wanted to get an alarm/remote start for my vehicle (to protect my new stuff and to allow the engine to warm up in our cold winters) The mechanic suggested an alarm for sure, but said he wouldnt recommend a remote start....i havnt had a chance to chat with him but, is there any reason that a remote start would in any way HARM my engine??? Is there a rule against remote starts in vehicles with engine swaps?

Remote starts are really for autos. Lots of risk installing them on a manual transmission car. You have to bypass the clutch safety, and hope you remembered to park the car in Reverse. Otherwise, you are going to start the car and it will smack into something in front of it or behind it or take off running down the street.

If you could put 2 safeties in where the remote start would only work with the parking brake on and the transmission could be verified in N then it could be made to work, but if you don't make it a habit to put it in N and pull the parking brake every time you park, then you might push the button on a cold morning and not have it do anything.

I plan on remote start in my car. The OEM remote start on GM cars have several safety sensors in place. Doors must be locked, must be in park, and hood must be closed, for example.

Myself, I always park in neutral with the parking brake on, unless I'm on a hill, then I might put it in reverse or a forward gear just in case the parking brake slips any.

But yeah, the reasons you state are why GM and others don't offer remote start on manual cars.

Interesting, i too always park with the hand brake on and my tranny in N. My car actually doesnt have a neutral safety switch, never had one. (I dont know why...) The car before the rebuild was an 86 SE v6 4 speed, thats how it came from the factory, and it never had the safety switch in it.

So besides the safety stuff for auto starting...is there any other reason why not to have a remote start in a car with an engine swap?
