- If you have a FiTech Go-EFI, Holley Sniper, or something similar. Then see the benefits of data logging.
I'll go through how to do it on FiTech 1200 hp Power adder installed on my 1971 Chevelle SS454

The lean to rich swing is very common on FiTechs, might not be the pump. Mine is doing this too to the point where I get big spits. Step up your fast accel, you might need to fiddle with the two other settings near the bottom of the page. TPS gain and dTPS or something like that. My fast accel is maxed out, as well as the gain and dtps. If you encounter that you need to start stepping up appropriate values in the 3d accel pump map under pro tuning. I made some progress this problem, but keep making big changes to the setup and need to start over. 440 in a '68 Coronet R/T, weiand tunnel ram, Fitech dual quad 600 w/command center. Keep up the videos!
Damn, wish i had some secluded areas like that!
Very good video. I have been wanting to put together a tutorial on reading datalogs for a while. Until then I will reference yours. This is Austin from Fitechefituning.com.
Thank you for the great video! My hand-held is not logging data. Could you please tell how to update my unit? Thank you in advance.
I think you have to contact Fitech to get the update. I don't know of a link to download it online.
Hi, do you still have this car with the Fitech system? I have a 396 with a 38351 Fitech system on it. I was looking over your spark advance numbers. 18 degrees seems way low. 32-36 at 4000 rpm is recommended. your engine shows 17 degrees mostly. I have my max at 35 degrees at 6000 rpm. I'm running a Blueprint small block. Thanks for the video's.
At the time of this video I did not have timing control, so spark table was meaningless. I do have a video of setting up timing control with my Fitech, you can see my advance curve there. I do still have the Fitech on the car.
I'm having the same issues with my power adder 600 on a 408w engine. I switched to a different fuel pump and it instantly started lean spiking and then going way rich. Even past 10:1 and it would completely fall on its face. I changed accel pump setting and it made no difference. I ended up resetting the fuel learn and that made it way better. It still occasionally stumbles slightly and it does go rich when instantly going WOT from an idle so I'm still tweaking it. Another weird thing with my fitech is it will not data log from the dashboard. I turn logging on and make a run. Turn off logging and power down the system and let it save. But when I try to open the log file it is completely blank. If I usu the data logging option under the main menu it work fine but not from dashboard.
I address some of the lean spike issues in my Pro Tuning video. As for the data logging issue, I would contact FiTech about a replacement. Data logging is a VERY important tool.
When I create a row, the labels from the top row appear on every other row, or sometimes they don't appear at all on the top. Could you please assist me in resolving this formatting issue? I’m currently using Microsoft Excel with a Microsoft 365 subscription.
I'm not sure what you mean. What are you trying to do?
I went through the log on/log off procedure but when I went to read my log in Open Office it said the dashboard file was empty. What did I do wrong?
Ensure you hit Log On with engine running, and Log Off while the engine is still running. Also you can't back out of the dashboard while the log is running.
@@SS454LS6 That's the way I did it. I'll try it again today. Thanks.
How do you clear your logs for more logs?
plug the device into a computer and delete all the files in the datalogs folder.
For whatever reason when I try to create a log file on the dashboard, the file wont appear anywhere. I just did a log file under basic sensors, a folder was created and was able to find the log file and read it .So I deleted the dashboard folder and will attempt to create a file on dashboard. Any experience this?
I have not. I would love to get do a test myself, but we are about to get hit with a foot of snow. I would definitely contact FiTech, if they are even open right now.
@@SS454LS6 They are. I called them yesterday. Extremely long wait.
@@k.j.hopkins7111 That is the problem with them. Did you get through and get any kind of answer?
@@SS454LS6 I deleted the Dashboard folder and went out this morning and did a log on dashboard. It worked. Got lots of info. Thanks
I called Fitech today and was 4th in line.Hold wasn't too bad today. I told them about that issue and they said that deleting the folder was the fix. They had calls on that before.
I’ve been fighting with log files for a while. When I create one I get the labels of the top row on every other row. FiTech sent me a new controller and it does the same thing. I’m at a loss.
what software to open the files? you could try updating your fitech firmware too
Same here. It started ok. Then my last data log every other line. Will call tech support on Monday.
Here is my combo: Fitech Go EFI 4 600HP, 331 DSS rotating assy, ARF 185cc 58 cc combustion chamber(10.5 to 1),Weiand Stealth(dual plane), hydraulic roller 224/234 @ .050 .532/.536 lift 112 lc 108 center line. Power range on cam is suppose to be 1220-6200. 22-2400 stall converter in a 91 Ranger with 3.5 gears. Not running timing control at this point, but plan on changing that soon. Problem is there is no bottom end power. Can stall up to 2100 -2200 tops. Barely spins the tires when it should frying them. Power seems to come on after 2500 to 3000. I'm hoping changing the ignition system to MSD for timing control and Digital 6AL will cure the problem. The distributor now is www.ebay.com/itm/SMALL-BLOCK-FORD-289-302-BLUE-Small-Cap-HEI-Distributor-COIL-SPARK-PLUG-WIRES/200942032373?hash=item2ec91415f5:g:X2YAAOxy3NBSi5cg . What do you think?
I think you have the wrong camshaft. A split duration would be a much better choice with AFR heads. Regardless, your engine should be a tire shredder for sure. What size are your tires and is it 2wd or 4wd?
I wouldn't get that distributor because its an HEI with vacuum advance. You need a simple dizzy that you can lock out. You will control the advance through the EFI.
@@SS454LS6 The cam is 224 int 234 ex @.050. The ebay dist. is whats in there now, planning on installing the MSD(locked out) and timing control this weekend. Wont be able to run til next week after I reinstall transmission. 29" tires
@@k.j.hopkins7111 The cam has too much duration between exhaust and intake for the AFR heads. Not the perfect cam, but it should still make big power.
With a 29" tire, that would be like me going from a 3.55 to a 3.27 gear ratio. I think your truck would wake up with 3.73s or 4.10s. Good luck on the wrenchin
@@SS454LS6 I was thinking Ford 9" 3.89 ratio
Thank you
So I try to create a log file and all I get is an empty DashBoardDashBoard1.csv. 0 kb
DashBoardDashBoard1.csvDashBoard1.csv 0kb
I Log on when I'm ready to go and log off before I turn anything off. Suggestions?
I would call FiTech tech support at that point.
@@SS454LS6 Thanks for the reply. I found the data logs. But where I ran the it through the gears( once on the rev-limiter), The logs read zero and .5 on the TPS when full throttle. Will try again tomorrow.
