Yea its best on a dyno, lol.

Advance timing until it stops making power, then back off 1-3 degrees to be safe.

Best power is made right before it starts pinging, lol.

 

^^True. I haven't had the chance to even hear it near a ping since I haven't had the chance to tweak it in a "controlled" environment.

 

i was just trying to find out what a good rule of thumb would be......im sure once i get a pro tune they will prolly do the method you suggested.

 

I've read my eyes out lol.

Specially dealing with the hydra.

I would love to play around with an FIC though ^^

 

you can download the program for free at the aem forums and sorta play with it....well check out the features and stuff.

 

yeah thats generally the rule when you are trying to tune for power (standalone), when it stops making power then no need to advance anymore. then retard 2-3 for safety

tuning timing would be better too after your fuel map is tuned.. and what i did, on the coolant and air spark trim, i advanced timing on cold weather and did a gradual retard as the temp gets hotter, that will make it safer from knocks..

and yeah you guys should be careful of too much retard, it will make egts dangerously high

 

hmmm, didnt think of that.....thanks ace for the heads up.

 

I hate 5PSI. It's soooooooooooooooooo slow.

 

i could have told you that!

 

Thats what she said.

lmao

 

LMFAOOO i walked in jus in time hahahaha

 

I can't wait until I get back on a 300HP tune. I want to know how the hell the S/C guys can stand that crap. That ____ must be so slow .

 

I had a s/c guy try to race me last night.

So I let him have it, lol.

Poor guy didn't know what hit him ^^

 

Why can't it be March. I'd have my clutch, boost controller, it would be warm, back on sticky tires...#@ MFD(U@NF@HNF(UNJM@_)IFJF)U@F)(+$#)(+IJ)+F(U$#HNF)($#*HNF_(&$#@HNF_($#@FHF$#@NF@_(FHN@_(Fhn

Sorry lol.

On a side note, the car handle's great in the snow. Can't go over 15inHG without it breaking loose, but I was turning pretty hard in a snow/ice covered parking lot this morning without any slip at all. I don't see how so many people have such a hard time with it.

 

I agree my gf and I went for some spirited driving in the snow and I never lost controll. Snow tires have to be the greatest invention ever

 

I don't even have snow tires, I'm on some crappy all-season Turenza's. The stock tires. Hopefully next summer I'll have a set of Blizzaks on some 16" steelies.

 

I'm thinking of just running no tires, and just driving on train rails.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Wow. All seasons suck monkey compared to snows. I can do about 5psi and not lose traction. Well in 3rd

 

Mmmm, delicious.

 

Confused one what I am suppose to be focusing on....the dirtiness or the snow...heheee..
