I understand that. But has anyone logged it and seen how much timing is pulled, how it's pulled (all at once, gradually, steadily increasing as rpm's rise?), and what parameters (oil temp, coolant temp, IAT, all the above?) are used to determine when/how much is pulled? Maybe I'm trying to dig to deep on such a new platform. Just thinking that if we could actually see what the ECU is doing then we could solve a lot of these questions. An oil cooler obviously works but is it solving the problem completely or is it just prolonging the inevitable? Maybe it's still pulling timing but not as severe. See what I'm getting at? Sorry for the rambling. I just like a bunch of technical info. I'm a nerd like that.
