Turned to Alpha-N, got it idling, got a friend to drive while I played around on the laptop. Far better throttle response, and pretty easy to tune. It helps to look at spark maps for normal cars. After about three hours of tuning it was smooth through all RPMs, easy to start from stopped, and super lean at cruise. Nothing at WOT because the engine is still breaking in. Rev limiter is set to 4500 for the same reason.

4,000km on motor now. runs well, still has some lean and rich spots. accel enrichment needs tuning, there is no tip-in at all. purchased nitrous bottle, solenoid, gauges, nozzles, pressure switches, etc. aiming for 80 shot direct port dry, with extra's fuel enrichment and spark table switching.

my car was hit by another on the highway, lots of damage but luckily the motor is fine. it got me home. the car is repairable. i had already started on another car, so i'm saving to fix this car. may be a while until the nitrous is working!
