You'll be fine mate, just take it nice and slow. Its not going to be a silky smooth drive after day one

I tend to do things in this rough order

- Start up tuning
- Idle tuning
- Idle tuning when engine fully warm
- Let engine cool over night, then sort out warm up enrichment

On the road

- Get the low throttle areas roughly right, actually auto tune is fantastic for this.
- Get cruise right, this is much easier than the low speed areas as rate of change is much lower (the blue dot doesn't fly all over the place as fast)
- At high speed load the engine up, so 70 mph gradually build boost.

Once every thing is safe (always tune too rich rather than too lean) start taking data logs, gradually build upto full throttle pulls, pull over and inspect the data log, make sure your AFR's are where you expect them with no nasty lean areas or stupidly rich areas.

Once this is all looking nice, work on the drive ability of the car, start with the ve cells above idle as Karlos mentioned, then start playing with accel enrichment.

Before working on the accel enrichment too hard i would also take a look at the ignition table, however i much much prefer doing this on a dyno.

Once every thing is sweet as, turn on ego correction (as long as you have a good AFR table that matched your tuning target, and as long as tuner studio's afr display matches your AFR gauge).



All of that should get you close, its probably not how every one would do it, but thats just the rough order that i do it, im sure i've missed something somewhere! Auto tune is a fantastic tool if your road tuning, it will rough out a map that will have the car driving safely in an hour or so, I would suggest you adjust your VE table after this as it won't be perfect.

Happy mapping
