    Yeah, the EFI provides lots of adjustability, but I'm not sure changing jets might not be easier sometimes. I tend to like to tweak graphs & tables, and before long it's all messed up and I have to backtrack...
    Every time you make a major change to the tuning you (should) save the file with a new file name. if you find you went the wrong dirrection you just switch back to the prior configuration. that whole senerio took about 5 mouse clicks and 30 seconds. try matching that time by changing jets and fuel pump cams.

    Yep, that's indeed the way to go. I think I'm up to file #13, but #7 has alpha suffix's that add ten or twelve in the middle. I often do a "save as" with a "Test" added to the number, and then blow it away if it doesn't pan out. Last night I was on my way to a local cruise, and I realized that the re-configuring of my spark map was not working right so I grabbed the handheld calibrator while stopped at a light, dialed in "Global Spark Modifiers" and was able to take out six degrees across the board temporarily, then go back to the previous spark map when I got home. It's pretty slick, especially if you like to tinker...

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
