Installing Maps Into The Fc?

I just got a power fc and installed it in the car.
I have a 93 automatic
my mods are as follow:
apexi power intake
greddy pully kit
racing down pipe + mid pipe
the engine is stock
i also have a duel n1 cat back but i have not installed it yet for fear of running the engine lean, any opions on this?
and as far as the map thing goes, does anyone have a map for my mods? and how do you install these maps into the power fc?
i would appreciate any help.

First things first, did you purchase the Commander with your Power FC? It's the device that allows you to monitor and tweak the PFC's settings.

Yes I have the commander. I just got back in the house i was out in the shop putting the duel n1 exhaust on the car.i took it for a drive and judging from the air/fuel gauge it looked fine, during normal driving.
it sounds great.

Nope, you get to do it the fun way, cell by cell by cell... Yeah the maps on the forum are kinda screwed right now. I'm sure Jason will fix it when he gets back from the Holidays. But for now, you can check out my spiffy new site: www.exorzero.com/skotx/powerfc. Compare the maps currently in your PFC with the Base Mod maps. It looks like all you're running is Intake, DP, MP, and Catback so you may not have to change any values as the Base Mod maps are pretty much set up for that combo.

COOL, that will be great if i don't have to change anything. now i just have to figure out how to compare the maps.i always thought my reading comprehension was pretty good, but the manual that came with the commander doesn't go into much detail.thanks for your help.

Well, we're all in this together. I actually just fired up my car with the PFC this evening! I had a turbo problem that prevented me from installing it about 5 weeks ago when I got it. So that gave me lots of time to eavesdrop on conversations by people wiser than me. If you input a map into your PFC that matches your mods you should be fine. After that, learning more about all the settings will just allow you to make it even better.

Thanks 3rdGenLuvr. I hope it can be put to good use. Once the maps here on the forum come back from the dead I'll get them all up on the site. I would like to work with Chuck and others who are doing their own tuning to make the site as comprehensive as possible.

Regarding a map for your car, which one are you using now? The Base Mod map might work, but it'll be a bit rich since you're not running a MP or high-flow cat. I wish I could be more help.

BRADYMAHONEY,

I'm just running the basic power mods: Intake, DP, MP, CB, FMIC. Lots of body stuff too, but that's just for show.

Good eye Chron. I believe that is a transcription error. Posted below is the way my Base Mod IGT map looks. Tim Benton's is the same. It looks like cell N17/P06 got repeated in P07 and that made the next two wrong as well. Then it gets back on track. I have corrected the file on my site, which cleans up a couple spots of negative split. Thanks!

Code:
    N16 N17 N18     
P06  46  47  48
P07  42  43  45
P08  38  40  42
P09  37  37  39
P10  31  32  34
