no problem. I think this will work for now. When/if there gets to be too many, we can always refine the categories further.

May I suggest one other sub-forum? The name would be something like Injector and MAF calibrations and it would be a place where people who have spent a lot of time calibrating their aftermarket injectors or MAF tube could post the results (i.e. just snapshots of the relevant tables, not whole ROMs). Eventually, after enough posts about a particular injector or MAF tube, the community could settle on "standard" values for these aftermarket components. Then, anyone who upgrades using one of these components would have a quick way to find out what values he needs to use, rather than reading every post to find ROMs which happen to use the component of interest.

In addition to posting injector/MAF tuning results, posters would also describe what they know about the gasoline used during the tuning, i.e. octane number and whether or not the gasoline contained ethanol.

that sounds like a good idea - perhaps that could be a sub-forum of tuning discussion rather than base maps? What to call it so its purpose is clear?

You're right, it probably fits better as a tuning discussion sub-forum. It might be called "Injector & MAF Calibrations." It would have a sticky which points readers to the relevant spreadsheets and the Learning Tool. People who post their results would be encouraged to also post a snapshot from the Learning Tool to show the resulting fuel trims. Posters who start a new thread to display their results would be encouraged to identify the injector or MAF tube that was tuned in the thread title.

Ok, it's done. Do you want to write the sticky? In addition to what you mentioned, it should be made clear what should be posted (SS/pasted data) and what shouldn't (entire roms). Should this also be a sub-forum for learning how to tune for injectors/intakes or not? I'm thinking not -> this sub-forum should be for proven tunes specific to particular injectors/intakes so users don't have to wade through the bad/unfinished to find the good.
