Yes that is a good start! But now is it working properly for ping and piston knock?
Idle is a seperate tuning procedure so that's one area. The other area is decel, factory has that pretty maxed out for emmissions and more spark there does not help a thing.
Remember the numbers you see in spark advance table are very rarely actual spark advance at timing marks. Look at all the spark bias settings? This is why I had the warning above, those numbers will not work in a $42 7747 Big Block because Warm Spark Bias is completely differant! So are all other masks!
Dave W, you are correct, no spark advance in 1227747 Data Stream, but with help from Gregs78Cam and learning me how to hack there is a Spark Advance hack available in the XDF and data value in ADX, so yes we have actual spark advance in data stream now.
I hope some more experianced smart tuners jump in here and give some more input! This is something that I approach very carefully in person and have avoided giving any info in public because of so many factors...
Now has everyone read my 2 BOLD warnings in this thread and understand them?
