Sorry. If its easier I can always put together a No Bullshit Timeline in another thread. Think of it as cliff notes to my build 
Let me know if thats ok.

stock tuning should already be adding that, in the higher rpms though, cause it needs to ignite (aka more degrees) the a/f mixture sooner so it will still be at it's peak at tdc
, and btw i think the stock programing already adds as much timing as possible, then pulls out just enough to prevent pinging, by using the knock sensor, cause when my car was getting a baseline, it actually gained power on the 2nd run, then again on the 3rd run, then stayed consistent for the 4th and 5th run (same as the 3rd run), due to it learning the timing for that preticular time/runs, and the 3rd run was where it had maximized the amount of advanced timing
but yeah if you start adding/using racegas, then yes you need to advance the timing yourself (not fully though, but enough that the computer will still be able to compensate for it, and not be outta "range"/throw a knock sensor code [cause it is looking for that ever so slight knock])

Mine threw P0130, lean yesterday. I cleared it & set the UNICHIP to B, after 100 miles it has not come back. I am going to install the wideband AFR Monday & finish the FPR today.
, and just go and get a AEM FIC, to be able to tune it

Sorry, I just haven't seen anyone say that it actually works. 
I thought E-Manage was the only thing working w/ our ECU. According to civic's comment, I don't think I'm the only one that thought that.
Are there any dyno's of CL-S members that were tuned on the F/IC?

So what is the best ECU solution for my 3.6?

I got on it hard last night in second and third and when I came to a stop I smelled a shitload of unburnt fuel. Im going to go verify I dont have any leaky lines before I assume its running a bit rich. At WOT in high RPMs the AFR is right around 12.6, but when I let off the gas it drops down to around 10.4, then fully rich, then back to fully lean (off throttle completely).

Yeah, JPROY sent me his harness and I re-wired the BS P&P for him, LOL.
Fully lean with foot off the throttle is normal, the ECU shuts off both fuel and spark when there is a negative load on the engine....

NVA, what is the best solution for an engine like Morgans?

Timing set by the stock ECU is fine?

And the fuel I smelled last night was indeed a leak. A fitting off the FPR (that I replaced the o-ring on before) started leaking. I replaced the entire fitting this time. I dont want to deal with it again. It seems to be holding well now. Im keeping an eye on it though.

And an update with the wheels. My wheel guy had a hard time finding paint that matched, but he got it on Thursday. I should have them back and mounted mid-week.
