Flash Tuner Help

[XRDamo]

I have a ba xr6 n/a. extractors cold air intake and it was running 9.8 1/8 and now after buying a flash tuner x3 it is 10.650 1/8

very confusing.the flash tuner is the one with 1 custom tune

the only setting I have changed is 1-2 2-3 gear change pressure to 20%

I was going to try advance the timing more ect but I still can't see that improving on the 9.8 time

I don't know what to do any info will help

The only thing I did differently was put octane boost in it,but I cant see that on its own making that much of a difference....

if you put octane boost in your 98 petrol it would have made it even harder for the engine to burn. So unless its tuned for like 101octane your probably losing power.

Since the drags I have put more fuel in it and it seems to be picking up a bit more power,won't know for sure if it was just the octane until the next meet,since I put more fuel in it I have slowly advanced the global spark to highest advance and the 0-8000 have all been advanced all the way,I haven't heard any pinging and the car seems to have alot more power then before,is there any chance that having it advanced all the way could damage the motor?

Id say yes, If you have no idea about tuning id stop there before you break something lol

so did this flash box come with a "custom tune" or did you give the car to a tuner to get the "custom tune" ?

I told capa my mods and they did me a custom tune

get a dyno tune done before it costs you a lot of hard earned money as these genric tunes to not work as you have seen.

Every car is different so do yourself and the car a favour and before you take it to the drags again have it tune correctly.

what you have is a generic tune, not a custom tune, your performance as well as engine reliability/safety may be compromised by using a generic tune.

Your car is required to do a custom tune and should maximise your performance gains.

thanks guys,might see if I can get it before the next drags,looks like that's my only hope

an I'll be layin off the octane for now too lol
