Pump Stretch.
This will make the biggest difference in overall power and smoke. This is the amount of time the injector is actually opened and spraying fuel into the cylinder. I have this set pretty low on the 1000 tune that I sent you. The COMP file is set to 1800. More than 1800 creates more torque and a lot more smoke but, actually makes less power on the upper end based on all the trucks I have had on the dyno. This is where the COMP file is set to. Feel free to run it to 2400 anytime you want lots of low end power and smoke but, realize you are giving power up on the top.
This does not mean you will get this amount of fuel all the time. There is a map, in percentages based off of this number as the maximum. Beyond that the map is also scaled by the TPS. So even if the map commands 100% but, you are at 50% throttle you will be getting 50% of the max stretch. If the map calls for 25% and you are at 50% TPS you will be getting 12.5% of the max stretch.
TPS MIN. For both CAN and Pump fueling.
This allows you to make the throttle lighter or more responsive. Basically it gives you a fudge factor that allows you to get a minimum amount of the max fuel stretch all the time. If you set this to 10% you will never get less than 10% of the fuel map. So if the map calls for 100% (1800) but, you are at 5% throttle you would normally get 5% of the map. If you set this parameter to 10% you will get 10% even though the mapping algorithm calls for 5%.
You have to be somewhat careful with this or you will be fueling way too much at light throttle. This is set to 0% on the tune I sent out.
TPS MAX. Both CAN and Pump Stretch.
This allows you to determine what throttle position you will see max fueling at. It also re-scales the entire map based on what you select. This is set to 100% on tunes I sent out. This means that you will not get 100% of the map unless you are at 100% TPS. If you set this at 80% TPS that means you will get 100% of the fueling at 80% TPS. It also means that 80%=100% and the map is scaled between 0% and 80% but, on a 0-100 scale. In other words the map moves in increments of .8% instead of 1%.
This can be really useful for those that drive light but, want power on tap earlier in the pedal but, not necessarily right off idle.
Timing MAX
Sort of goes without saying. 0 means we do not add any timing. 10deg means if the map calls for 100% you will get 10deg added over stock.
I never go over 7.5%. In my opinion that is more than plenty. If you are going for only mileage and are going to be easy you can use 10 deg and it should be great for mileage. The problem is that under much boost it could easily cause headgasket damage.
Boost Scaling.
This function is more of a smoothing function of the map. There are 20 positions that this function controls. Think of it at columns. Until boost equals a certain amount, then it is in a certain column. It takes more or less boost to move to different columns.
So if you set this to 20, then each column is changed by 1psi. If you scale it to 40psi then every 2psi it changes.
While this can make things more or less responsive or smooth it out slightly it does not make huge differences because not necessarily every column is more or less aggressive than the next. There have been maps in the past and there will be maps in the future where they will be more boost reliant. For now we do not rely on boost that much other than as this scaling function.

TIPS:
Things that will make more smoke:
Lowering the Boost scale down
Lowering TPS MIN on both CAN and for the PUMP
Lowering TPS MAX on both CAN and PUMP
Raising MAX PUMP STRETCH
Lowering MAX TIMING
Lowering TIMING SCALE
All those things in one way or another will make more smoke. Raising the pump stretch is the simplest way to do it.
Stacking With a Timing Module:
You can set the MAX timing advance to 0 or you can set the timing scaling to 0%.
Either way you get 0 timing.
lower the scaling, the softer the curve:
If you turn the MAX up, and the curve down, you will get more timing down low then the factory settings with the MAX timing ending up about the same.
If you turn the max up to 10deg MAP. and then scale it by 80% you will end up with 2.4 deg advance in that same exact map spot and a MAX of 8deg at WOT.
100% scaling gives you the most aggressive map for a given MAX timing value.

This has changed.
TPS MIN. For both CAN and Pump fueling.
This allows you to set what TPS% the box starts fueling. While the obvious answer is to set this at 0% that is really too soon. Watch your TPS% while driving and you will quickly see that the TPS% is not linear and on average you are using 25-30% TPS even under the lightest throttle conditions.
The latest tunes have this set at 30%. If you set it lower than that it becomes more aggressive but, it can also cause some surge issues because it fuels so soon.
If you want a more aggressive pedal I recommend you lower the TPS MAX parameter and lower it to 60-70% for a really aggressive pedal feel.

I still have a slight surge dont get me Wrong its was better than it was , what do you suggest i do to eliminate the surge seems to be tied to Lock Up of the converter

DM,
I'm going to try your last recipe (when I figure out how to change all that stuff )!
---AutoMerged DoublePost---
So I'm looking at the PDF that Chad put up; am I correct to say that you need to run a mini usb cable from the Pulse to the Adrenaline before these parameters can be changed?

Not from the Pulse to the ADR. Just use the USB cable to update the Pulse , with a desktop or laptop, to the 1.3.2 (or 1.3.4 that is on the site now either will work) and then load the ADR with whatever tune you desire and you can start playing!

I loaded this tune yesterday and Surge got WORSE than the Comp Tune Dated 10/21/08.
File Name: ADR_COMP2
UPDATED: 11/17/2008
Models: DADR9802
Software Version: 80027111
Feature Code Enabled: ADRCOMP2
Features:
Same as ADRCOMPF with revised CAN Fueling and Timing tables to help with surging.
I even tried setting the TPS Mins to 35% and 40%. Sounds like my Pulse needs the Firmware Update.
