> [@votblindub"](#): > > how do you get those readouts? does vagcom do these? and whats that graph called? HP Tuners. JDaniels just nailed the description. Not like it matters though because I accidentally OVERWROTE THE FILE. :facepalm So I have to start all over, haha. What I posted (if you’re interested) was basically a VERY smoothed GM Stage II timing table, with a few more degrees added. I have the flatlined timing back in, which isn’t bad because that’s when my WOT fueling kicks in (actually 200rpm prior to max timing), but generally smoother is better to have for timing in terms of drivability and, of course, smoothness. The 20 degrees at 3k-7200 @ WOT is nice, but my engine’s rod bearings would probably give you a different answer if you were to ask them the same question. lol ---

I hooked up an exhaust brake, replaced the rear speed sensor in the diff, and adjusted the ebrake so it holds the truck now. Fucking thing is badass. Also drove the Cobra to get parts and put it away again. lol ---

I finally get it. “Drifters” as a group take the discarded “when F&F was cool” parts, and put them on their cars, that are to be beaten on and abused. Okay, got it. lol ---

Once you stop seeing any gain just roll back to the previous timing that netted the same pwr readings. That could keep your bearings a little bit more happy. An e-tune makes a great base map but a little tweaky never hurt :excited Love the car btw. ---

It’s a Megan racing DP, the flanges are thin and seem cheap. Tial ‘big blue’ 14.5 lb spring. Up pipe is of unknown origin. This was an exercise in an ultra cheap EWG so I could learn how to tune for it, and to assist in my e85 journey. Also it just seemed cool :lol If it get sick of the noise / smell I’ll switch back to my Perrin catted dp and catless up. They are made really well and don’t leak on me. ---

nice. but sorry to tell you that you went the wrong way with the wrap, you’re supposed to go from the bottom to the top so that water doesnt collect on the wrap as easy. (it will run off of it better [think of roof shingles]) ---
