Tuning PFC

I have a pfc from rx7store.net and had them put a map on to compensate for the mods that i have but was wondering if anyone around the Nebraska area is familiar enough with the pfc to help tune it up better. Im pretty sure i need some tweaking done to the map to help me get the full potential of the car

Nebraska is a pretty big State. If you're in Scottsbluff, you'd be better off checking in the Mountain section.
That said, you need a datalogit to tune the PFC. There's no one active in the Omaha area that I would really trust with mine. You might check Steve Kan's website for a session forming up within reasonable driving distance to where ever you are. He's one that's familiar with the FD with a good reputation.

Thanks for the info...I'm in Lincoln and I am pretty sure I met you once at the Lancaster Event Center when you were auto-crossing out there, I am betting it was 3-4 years ago tho.

I looked at Steve Kan's Tuning website and it looks pretty much like a ghost site. No recent posts for some time and no new information on upcoming tuning sessions.

Well, it's been a long time since I looked at that site but your right, not alot of recent activity. Still I think Kan is active and I see threads occasionally soliciting commitments to group tuning sessions. Just keep an eye out in this section.
If you bought a map for your mods, you're probably good. I'm thinking those types of maps are pretty conservative, but nothing inherently wrong with that.
Seems like I've read about a guy in northwest Missouri that's good at tuning the FD, but I can't remember his name right now.

Yeah I remember going to an event there. I stunk up the place in ASP...especially since I was on street tires. I may get around to getting lessons snd a dedicated set of R compounds someday and getting back into it. Not big on the priority list right now though.

I know John in Omaha, he is originally from Florida I believe, and is at Abbott Airforce Base. I think you know him. He is really good with the PFC too but I feel like I pester him to much and didn't really want to bother him again. I was wanting to get the standard mount intercooler and koyo radiator so I am thinking I need to redo the maps to accommodate for the intercooler. What do you think?

I think you're talking about "Fitz". And yes, Jon's a big brain. He still lives here and flys out of Offutt, but he moved his FD back home to Florida after getting an M3. Not sure if he's willing to take responsibility for tuning someone else's car though. And he may have taken his datalogit to Florida too.
I'll probably see him tomorrow and ask.

What IC do you have now? My guess is that it would depend on IATs.

Ya I have his number too. I haven't heard from him yet. I have the stock intercooler right now but would like to get either a standard mount greddy and koyo radiator or the rx7store v-mount + radiator combo. Whats your take on both? I'm trying to stay away from front mount because the modifications that you have to do and I'm not totally confident in doing the work haha

I guess it depends on what you'll use the car for. If you intend to track it, then V-mount would probably be worth it. If it's just a street car, then IMHO V-mount is usually more money, more modification and relocating the battery. There's alot of good SMICs out there, Greddy being one of them. And you could add a simple AI system to bring IATs down even more if you want.

Jon runs an M2 Large SMIC with a relocated battery for his single turbo. I'm running a PFS SMIC with stock twins, stock battery.
