Just curious to find out if I fall into the norm category. I've got Icebox, DC JDM 4-1, hi flow cat, and 2.5" custom cat back, running the following:

4000 +1%
4500 +1%
4800 +2% (my vtec x-over)
5500 +1%
6000 +2%
7000 +2%
8000 -5%
9000 -6%

 

Anybody?

 

no one is going to tell you cause they spent good money on dyno time to get theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pay money an someone might!

 

Word. Nothing is free...

 

Every time a vafc question comes up all i see is go to the dyno this and that. There are plenty of ways to tune your car without a dyno. EGT guage and a voltmeter would do perfectly fine. I wouldn't lean it out that much like u did maybe 2-3 percent. Dyno time is best but not everybody can afford it or have access to it. Don't lean it out as much as u did up top. But the other settings are fine for now.
EVIL

 

I'd give you my settings if I had a similar setup, but every car is different and you can't rely on the fact that what works for others will work for you.

 

I thought you had dynoed and got those numbers if I am remembering right .....

Screw everyone else! Here were mine:

With Comptech 4-2-1, Comptech Catback, AEM CAI, AEM cam gears (at +1, -4), AEM underdrive pulleys, B&M f.p.r. (at stock 52 psi off vacuum):

VTEC x-over at 5,300, anything less lost midrange.
1,000 = -5%
2,000 = -5%
3,000 = -4%
4,000 = -4%
5,000 = -3%
5,500 = -3%
6,000 = -4%
7,000 = -4%
8,000 = -5%
9,000 = -5%

Of course there were 8 settings above and 8 settings below VTEC, but this basically shows what I did (bell curved it with the peak at the x-over) gave me the best increase of the day, then played around a few more small adjustments here and there with no more gains, so went back to it. Picked up around 3.5 whp, 3 wtorque from this adjusting from where I started the day at (fairly well tuned with what I had to tune with already). Came out to around 178/128, but the car was off that day (hadn't cleaned the AEM filter in over 1-1/2 years, and it was 90+ degrees and 90+% humidity), so the plot numbers were lower, previous peak was 175/125.
