wilco. I'll be home @1700. Tighten her up, make a pull or two and bounce back with updates. I'll have 9 hours of time tomorrow to do any conceivable data-logging. I'm just surprised that rod tension would have gone unchecked during shop tuning; it had been mentioned before when discussing the 28psi limit on the dyno.

There was a period of bouncing ideas around, but because it ended up going through a middle person, I didn't often get to speak to Tuan, the tuner. Only for the spark stuff he called directly when I was in San Diego. I've been on several work trips so a lot of time was troubleshooting over phone and here on MT.net. I'm not sure what was done independently outside what I've been told.

on his "e85" setting. that log is on low ethanol content so everything is quite turned down.
...that actually reminds me: I need to slightly fatten up his pump gas ve table cause it's a bit lean at 12afr on ~28% E
