RAP1D Member Donating Members 3,739 Member For: 18y 7m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 23/11/06 08:58 AM Share Posted 23/11/06 08:58 AM Nup, they all want the biggest number...The way I see it, you have a tune that most likely ( and I have total respect fot the tuner ) has timing advanced above stock off boost ( this gets the motor breathing early thus generating boost quicker, nothing new here or bad ), now your running the car in a hotter ( than melb ) climate, with heaps of under bonnet heatsoak sitting in the staging lanes. So what happens is it detonates, just lightly, and not even enough to hear, but it detonates and the computer retards the timing as a safty measure... now you've got less timing, less power and less torque than your dyno readout suggests, so yeah, its unfortunatley gonna run slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote Simon AFR's were "12.5 from 2500 to 5000 and just touching on 12.8 at 5500" Now that seems rather similar to the tune above. I do also recall a HPF tune which was making less power hit AFR's of 13.1:1 at WOT. So why when Nick does this sort of work does he get crucified yet when others do it, it goes un-noticed? So now you can all lick my No offense intended to anybody in this post, so please nobody take it the wrong way I LOVE YOU ALL p.s couldn't make to serious a post, my reputation would be ruined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
