    higher O2s are richer, lower are leaner. I still use a narrow band, but started using commanded AFR for the time being instead of the O2s.

    Given you're basically stock your MAF table should be fine, just check if your LTFTs are in +-3.

    Things you want to look into:

    -More timing (cruise and wot).
    -lower AFR in WOT or PE mode.
    -torque management (disable injector or fuel disabling. Leave spark retard for torque management.)
    -transmission settings for perf shift (shift points and oil pressure)
    -lower temp fan settings along with a colder Tstat

    If I were you, I would take a base canned tune like DHP, Import the stock MAF table and start from there.

    The Perf shift settings have already been swapped copied to the regular shift settings, and ive modified the fans to run after the car is off [god send at autocross] but i dont have a colder t stat so ive left them at the stock turn off and on points.

    is there a way to get the car to hold first longer, or better yet not shift itself out? id rather bang off the rev limiter during autox then have the car shift into second, wallow around in the bottom of second, then finally decide it wants to do something and shift back down.
