Yep, thats what ecu tune is all about.. my Q is, do you have total control over the ignition timing? ie, can you advance the timing so much that it goes beyond the sweet spot and start losing power and create knocks? I am asking because I know there is more power to be found in NA tune if Uprev can figure out on how to advance the ignition timing more that what it can currently do.

Amuse announced a few year or so ago that they found a new way of controlling the ignition timing/knock control and found more HP from the tune.. and they call their full exhaust + ecu combo a 400hp (flywheel) package!

Our tunes for NA cars are extremely mild, true, you can advance the timing more but when testing on a customer's car our intention is never to push the limits.
I guess the philosophy there is to squeeze a little more out of the engine without any risks. I may not have all the answers to your questions, I will do my best to find out. Remember, I'm just a salesman here!
