This is what I'm going to start with.



A little retarded. But It ramps up to high teens. I've got an EGT sensor, and if things get too high I'll add a bit of timing back. Wanted low timing in the midrange to keep torque away.
I made 228hp/200ft/lbs at 150kpa, so going to try and stay below that.

it takes about the same amount of time to smooth it as it does to re-post it. if you're gonna re-post, at least make it not crappy so when clueless n00bs copy it they're not starting with jank

150kpa will make 200ft/lbs, so I'm staying below that for track duty.


that is a REALLY conservative tune. I'd almost add 10° to everything 130 and above on a completely stock motor...

Big turbo, stock motor, and I want to beat on it hard.

I'm ok with conservative.

Besides just smoothing in the table can you also use your vtps to smooth between rpms a bit better??

You'd be better to add that timing and take out boost. Happier motor that way.

Damn son, any premature signs of failure? What kind of service history does it have?
