Hi Kris
Of all the MS-2 tuning I have found tuning the AE to be most difficult and I am still not quite satisfied with what I've got.
I have found my most successful settings to be with MAP ONLY! (slider to the left max) Especially at fairly small/moderate pedal movements. This (I think) is because a large capacity V8 is more capable of jerking around the MAP values than a small cap high revving screamer.
Here's my comments on your settings:
1) I believe your 120 MAP bin ms is too low - try 4ms
2) I realise you have a wild cam but can you reduce your MaPDOT threshold to say 45?
3) I recon your accel time of 0.2 is WAY too short. I've got mine on 0.5 -0.7 sec;
4) Ditto taper time - try 0.5 or more
5) The default setting of end pulsewidth (2ms) really stuffed me around. Set it to 0 and work from there (effectively flooded my engine towards the END of the accel period)
6) your TPSDOT threshold seems VERY high - I've got mine on 2%/s!! (see comment on TPS lag factor below) (What's the sense of having a 5%/s bin if TPS only kicks in at 20?)
7) Leave Decel fuel amount at 100% until you're happy with everything else then fiddle with this - I doubt you will ever see the effect of this value on your fuel bill even at its best.
Your cold accel mult seems very low - mine's sitting at 130%
9) Then, on your VE map, don't go too lean on low MAP bins - this is where the engine comes from just before you step on the gas. I found making the very low MAP bins (<30) richer (13.5 or so) "prepares" the engine for when the throttle gets opened suddenly.
Did you know that you can adjust your 0 - 300 MAP bar in MT?
Ditto with the 0-200 TPS bar?
Specially with TPS I found that I could hardly generate more than 50%/s UNTIL I realised that my TPS lag factor was "slowing" down my TPS response. I recon I've NOW got my TPS lag factor around 80 - 90 % I recon Map lag factor should stay around 45 - 55%.
I sat playing around with my TPS lag factors and the AE TPS bar MT settings (engine off, ignition on - obviously) until I was happy that the TPS gauge "mirrored" my foot movement and until I could "Fill" the TPS AE bar with my most aggressive stomping
Hope this helps. I believe that a much more elaborate writeup on how to set AE params is needed and once I've got mine sorted I'll have a go unless someone else has done it by then (I'm a slow learner...)
a few more times I guess because I just can't get it right.
