Closed loop?

Great points on both sides of this debate. I have cars running both.

My 396 port injected combination has always been in Alpha-N. It is very consistent, but needs regular tweeking.

The two cars that I am currently towing around are direct injected. I run them in closed loop. I aim for a 1% correction window. With the maximum being 10% in case I run into crazy air. That way I can see how much adjustment I need to make to fix the base tune.

I check my TPS on a regular schedule. I also verify that the throttle is opening 100%.

The O2 sensor gets changed at the start of each season and any time I have a major engine failure.
