That was his point. Since its aggressive you are seeing knock, when you knock once, things tend to go down hill, resulting in inconsistent pulls/results

With agressive tunes you may see one out of 4 pulls throw down some good numbers, then the other 3 performance starts to degrade more and more as the ecu continues to compensate for the knock

 

You can squeek out another 15whp with aggressive tuning but most runs will net a loss of power.

With boost set, slowly ease back until you get at least two pulls with 0 knock. Thats what I'm tring to do myself

I basically pulled boost back to 22 psi and added a little timing to my unavoidable 4000rpm fat spot. After flattening out lean spool things got to lean so now I'm aiming for 11.5 and maybe add a psi for later


As a rule of thumb, think of a change on OCT from 100 as being way too aggressive

 

Just something to try. Do pulls from 2500 to redline and note the LogEntrySeconds. Then pull some timing on your ignition maps - starting at around 4* and go to 15* and see which one is faster. My car pulls 3rd gear about a second faster with no knock and 4* to 15* timing than it did with 6* to 18*. Also you might richen up a bit, I had too even with less aggressive timing I still had some knock.

 

Yeah..if your oct flag isnt at 100, that means the ecu is starting to interpolate between the low and high octane map (pulling timing) and hurting performance

You always want the flag to be at 100 and on the high-octane map
