Unusual load reading observed during datalogging

While doing some ECUFlash Tuning (Road tune) and logging with EvoScan I had a single cell (outlyer) that registered a calculated load of 380. No boost spiking was witnessed and the next cell was linear with the cell previous to the outlyer. The highest legitimate load that I have witnessed to date is 272.

Any thoughts or possible explanations for this? Bad Bit or something

Yea, if you'll notice it probably didnt affect any of your other data.

maybe it was a misfire, did you witness a lean condition during the event?

With 2-byte load you'll see spikes and dips every so often. They usually don't come with knock though. 99% of the time it's just a problem with how the bits are lined up or something, but I'm with Mellon ... definitely check the AFRs for signs of a misfire. If everything but load is correct then there is no need to worry ...

Without a wideband it may be hard to tell. I'll pull the logs and look for anything else unusual.
Thanks
