Default Are there any good tuning sites for the SAFC?

I was searching earlier for a good web site that I could learn more about the SAFC and how to tune my car with it. I found a few but they all were dealing with the turbo'd Talons and Eclipses. If I could find something that could kinda walk me through the tuning steps that I need to take and how to figure out where to make adjustments that would be awsome just no luck yet finding one for a N/A car. Anyone have any ideas?

Dyno with a wide band O2. only way to tune it. Every engine is different and adjusting based on seat of your pants dyno or someone elses settings is stupid and could lead to a blown motor.

I already knew that I couldnt tune my AFC with someone else's settings. I just would like to find a site that could kinda walk you through the ways that you need to tune your SAFC if you know what Im saying?

The principle of how to tune the AFC for FI or NA is the same but it's the A/F ratio you want to achieve that is different. (I presume you are talking about the DSM "Tuning With O2 Sensor Voltage" articles that are all over the net) .

On a narrow band the FI DSM crowd try for a 0.92-0.94v reading, on NA you can get away with it being lower (leaner) around 0.85-0.89v. What you can't do is know whether your actually making more power or not, for that you need to get on a Dyno and tune for power as well as A/F (to keep it safe).

Oh yes... anything you do is at your own risk.

There is an article on team-integra.net about the basics of dyno tuning, where to set vtec engagement, how to adjust a/f to smooth out the powerband/etc.

I would post it but I can't access the site right now.
