For argument sake going to refer to a normally aspirated engine in standard trim. All i understand from reading from here the whole point to mapping is to make more power aight but how? How would you even begin mappng a standard car after u hook up everything like??
"Mapping" is just making sure the ignition is advanced as far as is safe, and the fuelling is doing what you want (so for an N/A car about 12:1 flat out)
