Default Tuning question.

I've been looking around and can't seem to find the answer. Maybe I'm not wording it right or something. My question is, lets say I'm tuned at 16 PSI, can I turn down the boost and run 12 PSI or wherever I want to set it without having to be tuned at that particular PSI, or is the A/Fs only correct at a certain amount of boost at a certain amount of RPMs and such? I ask because I want to do boost by RPM, and I'm sure I'll be messing with the boost settings in the lower gears and RPMs and don't want to run rich or run into whatever problems. Can someone explain it clearly for me? Thanks for advice in advance.

Typically with a good tune, the fuel and ignition tables are interpolated in such a way that any amount of boost you hit between vacuum and full boost will be safe.

Thanks, do you know of a good write up on this type of stuff so I can do my own reading for a better understanding? Thanks.

PGMFI.org has a lot of info specific to Hondas, but some of it is getting a little outdated:

Check out their forums as well. Tons of info.

Here's a basic theory of how ECU tuning should work:

There's all kinds of info out there, you just have to dig it up yourself. No one is just going to hand you all the info to become a professional tuner in response to a forum post. Read, read, read, and search, search, search. Then ask SPECIFIC questions, you'll get a much better response. Good luck.

Thanks for the links. I don't need all the info "handed" to me, I just would like to know where to get credible info, not people bickering back and fourth about their theorys and what not. Anyhow, thanks again. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of reading.
