Yea, link shows quantity not magnitude so you could detonate the head through the hood and it might only see 1 count of knock. One 110 the motor runs so smooth it's easy to do stuff like that. Also that seems pretty agressive for timing.. especially on a mix! I've never had good luck tuning people's cars where they mixed gas. I always tell people only run one of the other. Just too much variance in tolerance as the uneven mix gets sucked up. It's disaster waiting to happen.

I was amazed at how much timing it was allowing me too, base timing was set properly too. Car felt great but either the wastegate/ boost controller wasn't allowing more than 26psi at redline (falling to 26). I bought a manual recently to hopefully solve that issue.
Race gas is a whole new world for me as I never had the proper tuning tools to tune it in accurately and take advantage of it, I'm still learning.

I need of some suggestions. I recently started to hit fuel cut at WOT for some unknown reason. I can roll into boost and make up to 18 psi. But if I start from a stop and run a hard pull with WOT at about 10 psi I hit a brick wall. First thing I thought of is a boost leak, but the only one that I found was in the throttle body seals, and it wasnt a massive leak. I haven't done any changes to my tune so I know it isn't that. I pulled the plugs and they are all firing good. Any idea what could be going on?

First off, there is no fuel cut anymore, dsmlink chip eliminates that feature in the ecu. All your honeycombs are in tact right, and the mas plug harness is all the way on? What mas filter adapter are you using? Mine act weird with diff adapters as the air is metered differently.

I double checked and all of my honeycombs are there and the plug is all the way in. The adapter is a dejontool and the filter is a steel mesh. Don't know if that would alter the metering or not. I have been running it for awhile and have had no problems.

Yeah, thats cool of you. You should put some ok enough wheels on it to sell it, you see what happens when you mod a dsm...

Slipstreams or just the 2g 5 spokes. Both are very cheap wheel options. And if your looking for a easy turbo upgrade then just throw a 16G on it.

Do you have the 17in GSX wheels already?....they look the best IMO. I've been looking for some, but apparently alot of other people feel the same as I and already snatched them up.
