Ok so my MPGuino is on its way from Meelis11. When it comes in I will do some A-B-C maybe ?D? testing.
There is a 26 mile loop around Lubbock with slight elevation change.
FindHills.com

I will be setting the cruise at 60 mph and testing some of my changes.

Testing Parameters:
A: "All Stock" Factory ECU with Wide-band switching at 14.7
B: Stock ecu but wide-band switching at 16.2
C: My tuned ECU, with advanced timing from (See post number 14 and wideband switching at 16.2

Other test I am considering.
D/E: adding my power steering/AC load to the engine.
F/G Cruise at 65/70

All testing will be done at night to avoid traffic,
All test will be done consecutively, on the same tank of gas, after the car and tires warm to operating temperature. To help Isolate variables.
I may also find a different (shorter) road to decrease testing time (although, this may make the testing less accurate).
I would like the testing rought to have zero stops, changes in speed as to help remove human error from the equasion. another possible option is FindHills.com at 16 miles. If only I had access to a large oval track/ airfield.

If anyone has any sujestions/reccomndations for testing, or even something you would like me to test, be sure to let me know!
