First day, first post - My name is Robert McElwee and I live in Moncks Corner, SC. I'm not a big gearhead (only a shade tree mechanic) but I've always wanted to build a V8 Miata. I found one that was already built with an LS1 and T56 from a 2000 Trans Am (springs and cam are the only upgrades) and couldn't pass up the price. I was not happy that I didn't get to build it myself but I have purchased a nicer looking Miata (the original one is completely trashed) and will swap everything over so I guess it is kind of the same thing. I put it on the dyno the other day (graph below) and it is running a little lean. I was getting ready to get it tuned and a friend told me that I should just do it myself with EFILIVE since I am only wanting to fix a lean spot. I've done some laptop tuning before on a turbo miata with a full replacement ECU so this isn't a huge issue for me. The only thing is I am unfamiliar with the software/cables to get this thing hooked up and searching on the net has been a nightmare. Anyone here that can help me? Thanks!
