Messing with timing...

is this a EVO 7 or 8?

I'm using the black box.. so I only log knock voltage..check out spare 0 voltage readings.. thats my knock..

I run 21psi. My car wants to run about 23-24 degress up top because of my larger injectors, that is why I am taking 4 degrees out up top. It would knock like crazy if I didn't.

Razor,
Do you also think that the same thing is happening during spoolup. The reason that I ask is that my timing almost bottoms out at 0 degrees at torque peak at 18-19 psig boost. I noticed your fueling map is subtracting 10-14% in this range. Is this why you are seeing the timing not bottom out like I am. Your starts increasing at 6 degrees. Mine goes all the way to 1 degree. I am running the stock injectors
I guess that I should be able to get the same effect by adding timing(without adding injectors), but I wanted to get your thoughts.

Do you have negative fueling set in that area?
I've seen as low as 3 degrees in the peak torque area before. Without adding any timing, I usually get about 5 degrees. That's why I started messing around with adding timing, I noticed alot of people with straight ECU reflashes run more timing and I believe even the stock ECU runs a couple more degrees of timing there.

thats why I went lower compensation..
but 29 degrees.. dyam thats alot

no knock.. still wondering if its possible..
hmm got another thought to this.. maybe it is the engine
