   You play with the air/fuel look up that is already in the CPU...you want   
   to stay as close to 15:1 for ecnomy. My Camaro used to self-lean itself at   
   high RPM and so you want to enrichen the air/fuel ratio there.   
      
   Surprisingly, the best performance is still at 14.7:1...which is   
   maintained by the CPU very well through out the RPM range.

   Also a look-up chart. While you're in there, you can play with the   
   transmission hydraulic pressure that is regulated by the CPU for chirpy   
   tire shifts, etc. Change the shift points and the converter lockup RPM.

   Wouldn't have it any other way. 8^) What's nice about it is; if you take   
   it beyond the smog regulations and it runs like a stripped-ass ape, you   
   can save that program when it comes to smog check time and return it to   
   stock. Then put that saved program back in it when that's done.
