a little help with my timing

i don't understand why my timing curve only peaks at 15 at redline. my curve seems a little flat to me. my a/f ratio is on the conservative side as well. any help would be appreciated.

Lean it out to 11.3 and see what happens. Check for boost leaks?

We are in the process of building a tester -- we should meet up sometime soon so we can figure this stuff out, eh?

You're getting slight knock from 5-7k, which is keeping it from advancing fully. It looks like your boost is too high for pump gas...

Oh, you have alky...hmm. I don't know how to tune afr/timing with an alky system while using a flash+s-afc, so I have no idea.

Well make sure it's spraying correctly too -- the other night we found out that mine was just dribbling out...not even making a mist. I'd check that before spending more money..

yea it's spraying fine. i took off my uicp and tested it. everything looked fine then. i have noticed that a lot of people are running 7gph nozzles. that is quite a jump from mine. i might just add another 2.9gph which would bring mine up to a total of 6.8gph.

did another 3rd gear pull tonight with my boost turned down to 21psi. here is a log with alky spraying with little change in my timing. my a/f is 10.7 across the board. i can't figure out what the deal is.
