Holley EFII'll be taking my drag car from 5,000+ elevation to sea level for a weekend event. With this drastic of change in altitude, will I be okay with the existing tune and letting the ECU do it's magic adjusting AFR? Thanks.

I have racers who travel all over and they never change their tune. Other guys get out their laptops and tweak things a little bit. Just depends what camp you fall into. 5000 ft elevation change is big enough that you could make a change, but it's also within the range of CL Comp unless you have the Limits turned way down. If you have the Limits turned way down in your tune, then you might hurt the engine with a big elevation change.Originally Posted by jb427
My recommendation is to save your high elevation tune and then make a copy for low elevation. The only changes I'd make would be to Clear the Learn Table (or Transfer Learn To Base) and start with a fresh Learn Table. The other thing I'd check is the Limits on your Closed Loop & Learn. I'd want them both at 25%. Assuming that you get a few test runs, you should be able to see where things are at pretty quickly. If you don't get any test runs, then just fire the car up in the pits at the track and watch CL & Learn as the engine warms up. If the corrections are low, then you'll be fine. If they're coming in kind of high then offset the Base Fuel Table that percentage and save it as your low elevation tune.
