DSM Link, Some general Tuning info Options

[dualdj1]

Being as I've researched tuning a ton for my Mustang, I told Patterson I'd check into the DSM Link system for him. Some of you may already know this info, but I wanted to post it for those that don't.

As with my mustang stuff, the recommended Wideband O2 sensor is the LC1. This is programmable Wideband that can be setup to emulate narrowband operations as well, so you can replace your existing HEGO/O2 sensor with it, even without running DSM Link. Wideband is a great place to start for determining tuning issues, even with just a gauge to eyeball what it's doing when you're having issues.

I also questioned the guy about GM MAF capacity. They are capable of flowing enough for over 600hp no prob. If you see issues with them maxing out, you most likely have a problem with your MAF translator. MAF Translators are not necessary with the DMS Link setup.

DSM Link is now USB based, so works well with most any laptop; their software looks very similar to what I use and has some autotuning capability. Any time you can get auto calcuations, so long as you know WHY it's doing what it's doing, then it's generally worth a little extra money. It's a lot easier to let the computer do the number crunching.

As I hear any more info or if we dig into it more, I'll post here.
