need a break in map

I Was wondering if anyone could help me. I am about to break a freshly rebuilt engine in. I am going to have the car dyno tuned once it is broken in but would like to find a good map to break it in on.

mods:
-Motor: intake/exhaust street port.
-Exhaust: downpipe, catback, intake
-Turbo: stock seq
-Fuel: stock injectors, walboro 255 with a SX regulator
-ecu: PFC (also profec b spec 2)

My email is Steve0178@yahoo.com
Any help would be appriciated. thanks

The stock PFC map is good for break-in; meaning no or very little boost = foot control. Since you have the stock injectors, and turbos, you really don't need to change much, maybe just your fan temps.

I saved off my original map before I tore apart the car, so if you want it, send me your email and I'll send it.

It was slightly modified by SR Motorsports for a larger intercooler (meaning more fuel). But it will be fine for the break-in period.

Have you tried to re-initialize the PFC? Doesn't it revert back to the original base map info with the original settings?

i havent tried to re-initialize the fc...i just bought it about a week ago and i am not very familiar with it yet nor have i started it up yet. I wasn't aware that it did that and to be totally honest, i dont know how to re-initialize it either. Is that in the menu somewhere? it would help if you sent that map though My email is steve0178@yahoo.com

i have a brand new Power FC, does it mean it has a base map ??
I have T78 and race port and Power FC, but my car is running like crap. The exhaust has a lot of gas smell coming out. I just did a engine rebuilt, and i need a good map for the break-in period. What can i do with the Power FC ???

thx

you might want to make a seperate post for more people to see this...

If your running too rich you should probably go get it tuned somewhere if you can...or maybe find someone in your area that has worked with the fc. I think thats what im going to do. If you find a good break in map...let me know and i'll do the same for you. You do know not to boost at all during the break in right?

well it probably has to do with the level of fuel being injected...its probably flooding the engine out. Ive seen cars that are running too rich do exactly what you are saying. You might try to lean the fuel out a bit. I wouldnt drive it too much like this.... Also you should make another post in your specific generation forum. I know its a problem with tuning, but a lot more people see those threads than on the power fc forum. And if it is a fuel problem someone there will be able to give some advice. Good luck man, i know mines gonna run really shitty when i start it up too
