So just guess around until it runs what you command mean03, sounds like a great tactic. If you have to command 9.5 or whatever to get it to run 12.5 or whatever you want, pretty foolish. Maybe in the first version of tuning that would be prefered.

Just because timing can be added without KR doesnt make it good or even close to usable. Get on a dyno and add till it quits making power. adding timing for ***** and giggles will just get you in a mess, IE get some bad gas.....

Not to mention it will result in High EGT, thus causing more problems....

A wideband measure the Air fuel ratio in you exhaust, appearance wise it resembles a EGT probe, I assume your familar with one of those being a diesel tuner...

Tuning a gas motor is really different from tuning a diesel, you wont see the gains like you do with a diesel... 20-30hp probably, nothing like a Big diesel tune..

I think 20 - 30 hp in a gas job should fill about like 70 hp to a diesel correct?? I know what u mean though any vehicle i ride in i think is slow. Hell i think my diesel truck is a terd now that im used to it
