Help with BLM #'s, have pic's

CFI, no worries brother. I was thinking about timing too. That's what I really want to get to as soon as I can get this damn table correct.

Brian617, as soon as I smooth the table the VE numbers are off by quite a bit. I'm going to do some more logging this weekend and hopefully I can be done with that.
I'm going to log as you suggested before and see how much more gas I can burn during the process. Climate change is actually my fault from how much logging I have been doing lately!

If your BLMs look good don't worry about it too much, Go ahead and start playung with timing. You find out that changes in the timing map will affect BLM numbers. Work on one for a while, go back and work on the other, repeat and so on.

Ok, I'm happy with my BLM's now. Graph not so eye pleasing but whatever the engine want's, right?
I'm running the $OD and not sure which spark table to adjust. Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks in advance and Happy 4th to everyone!

Also, on my last drive I show 2553 knock counts... what the crap is up with that?? Any idea's?

You want to work on the top two on that list. I made mine the same. I worked on the open throttle table and copied and pasted it into the closed throttle table. I am also running $OD. If you but my name in the search you can probably find half a dozen timing tables I posted over the past year. Like brian617 said, when you change the tables, it will change the VE tables so after a bit you will have to go back and work on the VE tables again.

BLG355, any suggestion or input on the knock count issue? Also, do I need to change all the stuff back to normal that I had to either disable or turn off when data logging?
Thank you so much for getting right back to me. I'm sure you have plan's for the weekend.

I've already had several thousand knock counts in a 5 minute log when I was running roller rockers. I'm not exactly sure if there are ways to tune it or filter it out. I'd me more concerned about the ECM pulling timing than the actual counts themselves. I also always get errors during my logs, sometimes 2or 3, sometimes 20. Every time I get an error, it will show something like 4000% IDC or 2000* of timing or it will add several hundred knock counts. If you know what you turned off and want it back on you can. Depending on what you changed you can just leave it until you get dialed in to where you want it.
