Ill take some more logs when I get my evo back, should I try upping my timing and lean out my afr in the mid-range area?

+2 to +3 deg at this load and RPM is very safe for an Evo 8 with stock compression, Kelford 272s and 25 psi boost.

From 200 to what load range would you recommend I add timing?

From 200 to 250 in the RPM range 3k to 6k start with a 4 degree increase and taper to 1-2 degree at 6k. I am sure your car will not knock much as long as you ensure AFRs are under 11.5.. Run a log and let us know.. If need me I can look an my old map that I ran fast and clean on a evo 9 turbo with stock cams.

What is the ambient temperature at your location?

Hey, I'm stationed in San Antonio Texas, so it's hot(70-100s degrees) pretty much 8 months out of the year. If you can upload the map you were talking about so I can get a better idea of how it should look, id really appreciate that.

@Tomkun This ignition map is for an Evo 8 2.0L with 9:1 compression and 25 psi boost flat across the rev range, Kelford 272s and 91 gas. The safe operating ambient temp range is 70-100 deg F.

If you are running 93 gas you should be able to add a further 1 - 2 degrees timing without knock, but you must check!

Hey, so I tried your ignition map with +2 on all the cells after 100 and it felt a lot smoother/stronger. I did encounter a knocksum of 6 at one point so I’m going to try lowering the cells back down 1. Thank you again.
