Now 370's don't have a set timing number it is a number based on the amount of time it takes for the burncycle to take reach a desired degrees.Nissan table is a representation of the TIME that it takes for the cylinder pressure to reach peak pressure after the plug is fired to explain it better. So there is no global adjust. So we adjust burntime in the cells to see this change looking to get the table as linear as possible. After that is set and AFR is all you can do is try going more and less in each area.

Now to compare a 370 to a WRX or STI you can't. 2 degrees of timing in a Subaru and everyone will call you the SubbieWhisperer and thats just the beginning play with the AFR a little as they come from the factory set in the 10's and 9's and everyone will think you are a genious. Why are these cars set so rich and not tuned as close as the 370's. If you take a turbo car and drive it at WOT for a very long time you will grenade an engine. The engine just makes so much heat it is uncontrolled so the factory tunes them with what I call "moron setting" this is a setting that any moron can do what ever they want to the car and it will live. Put a tune in these cars and if you put someone who will not head the warnings you give them they will destroy it. I just had a friend blow up his car no matter what you say 260km/h sustained will break stuff. Now a NA car will still blow if you are a tool but not even close to as easily. So the factory uses a more optimized settings. Factories know how to build power but they also need to have this thing called warranty and that is why all our cars are somewhat detuned.

Like i said, im not knocking on you at all Cam so please dont take it that way. I only know the basics of tuning so forgive me. Like Sylvan Lake V, the curve gain is where its at...yes. But in some cases the peak power is more important. To be honest i couldnt justify spending $600~ on the tuning/hardware to get 5hp gain. I know compairing the Z to a STi is apples and oranges, but i heard tons of amazing reviews about your tuning from the subie's, i just thought the Z would have gotten more out of a tune with full set of bolt ons.

And Zat Zuma, id watch what id say, you never know, your trash talking on here might catch up to you someday.

I will take 20hp/trq through out the mid range and only 5hp/trq at the top end over the other way around anyday. I dont know how else to explain the difference between 20hp through out the power band but only 5hp at peak power I dont know what else to say In will take more power in the RPM I drive at the most, thats me everyone is different.

Thanks for the PMs guys.

Trash talking?

Remind me again which member has been banned for trash talking.

What is the count up to now? X1? X2? X3?

Sorry to say, I've lost track of how many times.

Bottom line: I really don't like your attitude and now that you don't have a 370Z ........I wish you would go away and be annoying in another forum besides this one. DILLIGAF

LOL
