Couple questions...

As much as I want to takle tuning myself, I know I am not prepared to destroy my engine learning... I remember a while back there were some great posts on how to tune the power fc, by arrgx(sp) I believe. Anyways, Im looking to get myself a good base for the setup I have... something that will be good to get me about 8 hrs to a good tuner.... Here is the list of my engine and mods

Power fc with datalogit and uninstalled tech edge wideband.
13b-re cosmo with sequential fd twin setup and fd downpipe
550 primary, 1000 secondarys
fd fuel pump
ebay front mount intercooler, huge sucker.
fd rad and fans
msd 6a ignition
lightweight flywheel (dont think it matters..)


I was hoping to be able to get a nice safe tune for 10-8-10 boost pattern, and eventually get a solid 14-12-14 boost pattern for those special occasions where you need it

My goal is 325rwhp, Id love to see a bigger number, but not to confident I will even get to my 325.. If anyone has those older threads on tuning can you link it... maybe im just retarded but its hard to look through all the posts on a mobile.

This is a common question asked by the uninformed.
Engines blow under boost and usually over 7 psi.

If you properly setup the injectors and drive like a normal person you will not get above about 3 psi boost. Thus almost any map will do. The base mod map that comes installed on a PFC is very safe for doing this.

320 hp should be easy to obtain with seq twins.

Good to hear would you like to see my datalog for what I have done already? Im still just learning about how to tune and such, wouldnt mind a second opinion. What kind of rwhp has been made with the setup I have... what should I expect, as I am wondering when the fuel rail will need to be upgraded... but I suppose with just the fd fuel pump I can only get so far.... thanks for your response
