That TAU vs table was not understood by any of the Accel tech guys or the EMIC's. Also not a fan of having the pro key and the cost to buy the key. My buddy's car was a procharged 406 and I don't remember what, but there was something in there we had to tweak to fix an issue. Wasted a bunch of time tuning before we were told about that area.

It was the hardest system for me to tune that I've encountered. Easy to get up and running, but hard to get perfect. We would shut certain things off trying to isolate something, and then in datalogs you'd see they were still working (think it was the O2 correction, been too long to remember).The one we had on a friends car was finally sold after a year and replaced with Fast, and ran great.

I assume the new stuff is not like this? My friend has completely re-done that car and now has a 500 rwhp LS motor in it, and we have not decided on an engine management system yet for it.

I'd be happy to help Jody. Unfortunately there are too many "EMICs" that don't have a clue, on any system. There are progressions that you need to follow, and if you do I promise you the rest falls into place. I've had guys tell me that this or that system makes more peak power, that's because that's the system they know the best. x amount of spark/fuel will make x amount of peak power, period. However the curve in getting there can be made more beneficial with the right system and tuner. I've tuned some FAST, Holley and MSD Blaster/BS3, I'll take the Accel over them any day. Imo the others just don't have the features/software to maximize the hp/tq curve.

P.S. you can turn most anything off on the Accel system if you like, even the O2. And they came up with the Pro key option because too many people were fooling with stuff they didn't need to fool with, that's also the reason for the Thruster. But guess what, you can still access all the GenIIV stuff thru that software, even though on the surface the Thruster seems "dumbed down".
