Can i road tune the ignation timing as well? Is it the right step : advance the timing by 2 degrees everytime and full throttle datalogging. Until knock count sence the knocking, and this is the highest power of timing?thank you!

If your knock sensor worked perfectly then that would find the knock limit, but not ideal ignition timing, which may be less. A dyno is the only way.

If i want to tune for economy on cruising. Is it tune to VTC 30 degree and a/f 14.7? What should i set the ignition timing on cruising speed for economy? Thanks for help!

Ignition timing doesn't make much difference at part throttle. Anything from 30-50 degrees works. We use stock tables in that area.
