VE Table (Load vs RPM)

Higher numbers = more fuel. Adjust to hit target AFR.

Target AFR Table (Load vs RPM)

Commanded Air/Fuel Ratio. Core part of the Speed Density equation.

Fuel & Injector Settings

🚫Advanced users only!

Multiplier at each IAT. 1.0 = no change, 0.9 = −10%, 1.1 = +10%.

Fuel multiplier on cold start. 1.0 = no correction at operating temp.

🚫Advanced users only!

Ignition Timing Table (Load vs RPM)

Degrees Before Top Dead Center. Too much advance causes knock.

Ignition Settings

Sets coil topology, recharge time, and melt behavior.

🚫Advanced users only!

Wider gap = needs more dwell to fire. Under boost, effective gap shrinks 0.005" per 10 psi — tighter gaps recommended on boosted builds.

Degrees of retard at each IAT. 0 = no retard.

🚫Advanced users only!

Coil charge time. Low voltage during cranking may cause weak spark.

Nitrous Oxide System

🚫Advanced users only!
No nitrous system installed.
Select a Dry or Wet Shot System under Upgrades & Mods.

VVT Intake Advance Target (Load vs RPM)

Positive degrees of intake cam advance. Interpolates absolute "In_X" engine maps.

VVT Exhaust Retard Target (Load vs RPM)

Negative degrees of exhaust cam retard. Interpolates absolute "Ex_X" engine maps.

VVT / VTEC Settings

Variable Valve Lift (VVL / VTEC)

Continuous VVT phase angles are controlled via the 9x9 tables.

🚫Advanced users only!

Closed Loop PID Control

Wastegate Duty Table (TPS vs RPM)

Commanded wastegate solenoid duty cycle (0–100%). Higher duty = more boost. Requires a turbocharger mod installed. In Closed-Loop Boost mode this table acts as the feed-forward base; the PID trims on top.

Boost Protection

Trigger Calibration

Simulates a timing light check. Engine start is disabled while active.

TDC 10° 20° 30° 45°

Smart Alternator

Target Voltage (V) — RPM vs MAP (kPa)
5×5 sub-axes derived from the main RPM and MAP axes. Scales with the Axis Wizard.
Voltage Regulator PID

Alt pressure rises +0.5 V per 1000 RPM. PID controls duty to hold target voltage.

Alternator Duty: N/A
Torque bonus: 0% at 14.5 V → +3% at 12.5 V (reduced alternator drag).

Axis Setup Wizard

Sets the 16-point RPM and MAP (load) axes for the VE, AFR, and Timing tables. WG Duty table columns (RPM) also update. The WG Duty row axis (TPS) is unaffected.

RPM Axis (16 points)
MAP / Load Axis (16 points, kPa)

Note: existing tune values are interpolated/extrapolated onto the new axes. Values beyond your current range are linearly extrapolated from the edge trend.

Idle Settings

Actual throttle % when duty curve reads 100%.

Idle control disengages above Target RPM + this value.

Idle RPM target by coolant temperature. Runs higher when cold.

% of Maximum Idle TPS% to command at each coolant temperature.

🚫Advanced users only!

Uses ignition timing to maintain target idle RPM for faster corrections.

Cranking / Starting

Throttle position (air) during cranking. Higher when cold to overcome friction.

Fuel multiplier applied immediately after cranking ends. 1.0 = no enrichment.

Engine cycles (720° each) for enrichment to decay from curve value to 1.0×.

Vehicle Upgrades

Need some mods? Head over to the Mod Collection to get them!

TUNER WARNING: Extreme mods like heavy cams will increase idle vacuum penalty (raises base MAP), which can stall your engine! You will need to tune your low-RPM fuel/timing and raise target idle RPM to compensate.

Launch Control / Two-Step

Test your launch settings in the garage. When active, the engine will limit to Launch RPM at full throttle even in Neutral.

Simulation Settings

Ambient conditions used as the baseline for all simulations — dyno pulls, drag runs, and the garage physics loop.

Affects all displayed temperatures, pressures, and speed. AFR/Lambda can be toggled separately by clicking the gauge.

Sets base IAT for the physics loop.

Affects MAP ceiling and airmass scaling (altitude).

Used for dyno correction factor (SAE / STD).


🚫Advanced users only!

When enabled, engine starts cold at ambient temp and warms to 90°C. Disabled = ECT locked at 90°C.


🚫Advanced users only!

Adds exhaust transport delay to AFR display (300ms at idle, 0ms at 3500 RPM) and ±3% combustion variance to physics at low RPM.


Hold to Engage: hold the button while the starter cranks; release after engine fires.


Floating counter shown in all views when the engine is knocking. In Advanced Mode use the Knock Control tab instead.
