The frustrating part is the knock is happening during your shifts. Makes things little more tricky. Are you wanting to tune your car or just get rid of the knock?

Yeah it's definitely running rich in the second datalog, you don't want to do any more full throttle runs with that tune. It's really rich all over.

I can tune it for you if you want, which is why I was asking. It's a bit of a process to tune it, but if you want we can and focus on removing the knock and cleaning up the fueling. Up to you, just let me know how much or how little help you want.

Yeah we can do that. There are two ways to do it, the proper way is to tune each cam angle individually which usually takes 12 or so revisions to dial it in. The shorter way is to use a completed file and make the necessary changes for your car, usually takes 6-8 revisions to get it right. Totally up to you and how much time you have to make the datalogs and get them back to me, so whichever one works for you. The longer version is a more complete tune which is why it takes longer.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Sounds good, here is the first revision for you. This one will be on the 0 * cam angle with vtec at 4400. It will be sort of sluggish on this cam angle because it's at 0*, but it's all part of the process.

For the datalogs, we need them to be about twenty minutes in length. Try to do as much stop and go type signal light to signal light type driving as possible. It populates the most data for us. And on your drive, you want to do one wide open throttle (WOT) pull in third gear from 2500-redline so we can see the WOT fueling.

Let me know if you have any questions about the datalog requirements. Please fill out the customer section under "calibration" and send it to me so I have your information.

Dang cops. Haha. Okay, I will keep the ignition conservative then as we go. Then once you go through the tank of fuel with octane booster we can revisit everything. But we can keep going with the tuning process, we just need to come back and check once the octane booster is out of the tank.

What elevation are you at?

Looks really good for the first file. Here is the next one for you, now we will be on the 15* cam angle with vtec at 4400 still.
