ok i have a JWT ecu 50 lb program and z32 maf. i had my safc tuned for stock kae maf and 460cc injectors but didnt change the settings for the new setup. question is, if i just disconnect the safc completely but not taking out the wiring into the ecu harness will it just run off the JWT program and no safc settings?if i want to fine tune with the safc, what should the low throttle base setting be at with the maf and 550cc injectors? thought it was around -30 or so for low throttle map across the board and lean it out more on the high map?

disconnecting the safc will make your MAF wire disconnected. you have to reconnect it. the rest should be fine. but leave the safc on for fine tuning

oh yeah i asked who was that girl haha (your gf)...but yeah thats a route i plan on taking one day. let us know how it goes. i know a person where the jwt gets really rich at idle though. so its a good thing you have the safc

if the JWT ecu if programmed for the 550's then should i set my low and high maps at 0% correction and just cut back fuel from there? the JWT program works fine and i dont really need to adjust the fuel maps but i would like fine tune and be able to use the decel air. function so i can run open BOV.

yes you can leave it at 0%...but your idle probably wont be perfect so go ahead and fix that up

well i re-wired the safc in today and it runs like crap. i set the correction % at 0% all across teh board hi and low and its still bad. i set the decel funct. while it was still cold so that was ok but when trying to give it light throttle it will go rich (9.5) and sounds like a subaru. can i use the decel funct. with out wiring in the maf somehow? any suggestions?

what is your in and out settings? remember that your jwt thinks the z32 is stock now so it wouldnt be something like 2in and 6 out anymore
