I am okay with tuning still learning and new.. the first pic is my ignition map that I am currently running , pretty conservative and safe..
, after running on it for awhile not making any other ignition adjustments, I decided to redo the ignition map smoothin everything out more and add a little more timing to the whole map. please comment any advise? critic please willing to learn !
Pic one before
pic two after adjustments, comments would be great aswell as pointers!

 

Find a local dyno, learn how to read plugs, use knock detection devices, use a dyno for MBT etc.. (Read up).

 

yea I have been reading up on how to read spark plugs have a bunch of good links, I will have to read about how to achieve Max brake torque on a dyno though. I made myself a Det can HMT style with a mechanics stethoscope threaded to the block it works okay except when the fan come son and a little hard to listen when the WG opens up .
another question the changes that I made in the second ignition map am I running to much timing through out the map? maybe I shall try it out tomorow morning then pull my plugs and see how they look.BTW I am running NGK BKR7E's forgot to mention that

 

Looks like a pretty conservative map. How does it run ? the plugs I like are the Ngk-4554's the R5671A-8
