Use the MoTec 3 bar settings as a base. If it's wrong, then you will have to find the correct offset and scalar. Good Luck.

How do you know when to change the offset and scalar?

In the hondata forums is the formula to get these numbers. You need to know the min and max voltage

Thats funny, because a great deal of the "tuners" you speak of do not know the correct offsets and scalers for the gm map sensors. There are about ten versions of the GM3Bar's out there. So if there is anybody out there that has any better responses please post, some of us could use any extra info available. I too used the 609scaler from the Motec but I use a 75offset. The problem is that many of the Vacuum/boost gauges on the market are not all that accurate, so when dialing in the offset you are depending on that gauge being correct. But in all honesty if you properly tune the car and do not change the settings of the MAP sensor, the car should run fine. Hence, if the Map reads 10" of vacuum but you really have 15", you are still tuning based on what the ecu is seeing.
