at what vacuum reading do you need to switch to Alpha-N mode with DFI?

Just curious. i'm helping pick out a wicked cam for an all motor car but i have no idea how to tune in Alpha-N mode and wanted to know at what vacuum reading is it necessary?

i was told at about 5" of vacuum and below. sound about right?

MMMMMMMM.....

Hey Mr turbo You sure it ain't for your car.

sssshhhh......be very very quiet.....i'm huntn' rabbit in here

I already got some answers on good old trusty www.thirdgen.org
thank you very much

I run speed density with about 4.9" - 5.3" of vacuum and am getting the tune up dialed in quite well. I messed with tuning in Alpha mode for a few days but it seems to work just as well with the speed density. I talked to Mike about this at F.A.S.T and he said it sould work just fine at 5".

Deciding what level of vacuum is acceptable for speed density operation is largely a matter of personal preference. You will run into dynamic range problems without a big change in manifold signal but the interpolation really helps out here. With the FAST system speed density mode, the injector resolution works out to be 8 microseconds and this also helps out. That's ultra-fine control for small changes in signal.

So try it. If you can live with the throttle response and driveability, your good to go.
