It could give you real world performance numbers without having to go to the dyno.

"I wouldnt worry about the timing getting pull from 4500-5500
I also tried many thing in that area but the timing always went down

thats probably an hidden map somewhere when the VVEL start going up at 4800rpm the timing goes down a little bit."


I agree that there are more parameters not available for modification.



I have a question. You have two timing maps. IMO there is probably a setting that starts using more of the lower octane map when high oil temp is reached.
How far apart are your timing maps? Are they in sync with each other? In Mitsubishi software you can actually see the logged parameter % of lower octane fuel/timing maps it is using.

I am un-aware that you can monitor that in the Uprev software at this point, but hopefully in the future.

How about this; if you drive your car at 220 oil temps, then maybe "tune" your car at 220f temps, or why not just tune your car at normal temps and let the computer run less timing like the engineers decided was best?

If you tune on the street, you need to make sure before every single pull/ run or whatever, that your temps are ALL the same. It's a science; keep all the variables the same while testing, make one change at a time.

Anyway, just remember to have fun!

my High Det and Low Det are quite apart from each other right now ,, for the simple reason that if the ECU is pulling timing , I will know it pretty much as soon as its happening.

there isn't a setting that I know about running a lower octane map with high temp is reached. maybe in the future.

right now I do not have much choice on the outside temp. its winter here
but yeah don't worry about that , I do try to keep my temp equal every time I do a pull.
but since I know where the limit are from my tuning experience from last summer ,, I'm not trying to go farther because that will probably wont give any power

My next dyno tune is probably at the end of March or sometime in mid-April.
