cylinder temps are a concern, but only insofar as they induce knock. i will be pulling a knock signal & also checking spark to see if the car starts to pull timing. if that happens, i will richen up a little.
to make the actual fuel corrections, i'm using a piggyback computer that will modify the MAF signal. i'm then checking the actual AFR's with wideband to verify / tweak the result. i will be able to measure rough spark & fuel maps by monitoring the OBD II port and a wideband sensor. i will drive several test points to gather data at 10% TPS intervals from 30 to 100.
when i change AFR, the car will likely change spark as well. i will try to monitor that. over a certain RPM, the spark advance should be fairly constant. we shall see.
BTW, there is a product called MAF Translator that i almost bought. i couldn't verify at the time whether it would work w/ my car. i have since come to the conclusion that it would. it has the capability to run closed loop wideband setup. basically, it hooks up to your wideband & adjusts the MAF signal to achieve the desired AFR's in the map you load to it. pretty cool.

How are you going to create an AFR altered map from all your data and then code it, test it, upload it to the ECU? I am talking hardware and software ....coding language etc. Are we simply talking about manipulating the MAF signal as a means of correction?
I ask as it seems difficult to get any custom tune work done and I would like to do this for my 3.2
Sounds great let us know how it works for you
