- I'm not sure cam adjustment on the exhaust side will give me much.
- It was included in the orginal purchase
- RHarris is awesome and next-dayed it to me.
- I don't have money for two.

Probably a stupid question, but: if you're that damn poor, why are you still doing track days, ordering brand new parts, etc???
Or are the track days long ago pre-paid?
Just seems like you're "settling" on a ton of stuff and basically half assing the car (not really, but kinda sorta in a way) and it won't be 100% for this upcoming track day and possibly the next.

I live within my income, I've spent too much but I'm not uncomfortable.

Not corner weighing, not re-aligning, mentioning "i'd do xxxx and xxx if I wasn't broke atm" stuff like that....Meant to say settling more than half assing, and I aint hatin boo, just kinda seems like you're in a pinch and trying to get the car all set up in too short of a time and on too limited of a budget.....As for your income, no hate there either - I'm sure all those late nights poz raping rich men pays well

The corner weighting really hinges upon how bad it's out. There are tons and tons of people who never corner a car and still track it. I would do injectors and a new computer right now, but there is a delay in the production and I'll only buy from Reverant.

I was severely detonation limited on 91-octane.
Multiply by 1.12 and get 155whp. It's not great, it will get better, but I'm satisfied for now. I suspect another 10whp with TPS, crank trigger, EV14, and do it without the octane increase. I ended up going with 4* advance on the cam and it totally changed the car.
TPS, crank trigger, EV14, and more octane will make significantly more output. This engine is extremely difficult to tune and the lack of resolution on the VE table and the spark table is really hurting the tune. I'm barfing fuel on MAP based enrichments to kill gross detonation. It drives great, but could make significantly better numbers with a modern computer.I could have spent more time fine-tuning, but with this computer it isn't really worth my time. Again the car drives great and will only get better.
Tomorrow I finish the last water leak, weigh the car, clean out the garage, then rest. The car also has the 4.10 rear end and a Cusco diff now, its fun.

you should be making posts like, "Whoa dude, you swapped a complete drive-train, built a rear end, and tuned the car in effectively 4-days working after work using the parts you had because you're on a budget. Congratulations, you are incredibly manly, I will mouth your dirt pipe."

Power looks good. That'll be fast. Timing map isn't too conservative. I have never run more than ~3° more than that anywhere in the map even with a 9.5:1 BP4W on 91. It looks a skosh fat above 6k. Bringing that closer to 13.0:1 above 6 would probably add more power than another 3° IMO. I assume you didn't get det above 6k?

The even better news is the possibility of TTD.
