I'm indifferent about mickey Thompson or hoosier when it comes to real slicks. but drag radials I picked hoosier because they are basically slicks. They only have like 2 straight lines on the tire lol

what are you auto guys shifting at since you all have tunes lol im seeing 6500 is the stock shift point in HPtuners, i was thinking 6800-7k might be more appropriate

well, did some tuning today with HPtuners, holy god its like a changed car, even in 101 degree heat with intake air temps ranging from 120-155 degrees. Still need to work on fueling and increasing the rev limit and shift speed for 6850 rpm's but torque management is disabled, COT disabled, removed the low octane spark table, and made adjustments to the IAT and ECT spark correction tables, not to mention firmed up those shifts.

im still getting KR on the stock high octane table, dont know what its related to to be honest, and im running 93 octane shell/sunoco gas. As far as I can tell these car's arent able to pick up much more then a degree of timing in the best conditions according to other tuners.

huge sign of relief this morning, trans has in fact been serviced before, tranny fluid came out red, trans pan magnet was relatively clean, thin layer of **** on the top, filter was clean as well as the inside of the trans being spotless. Swapped the filter out and did the TSB for the pan magnets.

ill be headin to atco probably on friday night to get a baseline and test out the tune to see how much i gain with just the tuner and no mods, ordered a ZZP mid length header and downpipe combo last night, that along with an intake and LSJ throttle body will be the full extent of the mods unless I work up the will to go through with a TVS 1320 setup.

havent purchased the tb or the adapter yet, and i still need my buddy to finish TIG welding up my intake im building. Ill have pics of that when its all said and done. Im trying to figure out how im going to isolate it from engine bay heat ATM. Don't think it will be too difficult with some materials from mcmastercarr though.

We saw a massive improvement in power and acceleration with the tuning we did, the car is just insanely lean in its stock form. Trying to run the high octane fuel map on 93 octane and i was still getting 4 degrees of knock retard and seeing 790-810mv on the o2. We were able to bring it up to between 840-860 and saw a drastic reduction in KR so im hoping with a little more fine tuning throughout the power band at the track we can get another degree of timing stock, and maybe 2 more degree's with the free flowing exhaust and intake setup.

what's your pe ratio set to? Just FYI my car was EXTREMELY sensitive to IAT's. Like 85-90* temps would cause a lot of KR up top with one timing table, then the same table would have absolutely zero knock at IATs of 75* temps.

Suggestion: make your intake a CAI, go into the lower fender area. it will help you immensely.

Yeh during my initial testing i found out just how sensitive it was to the IAT. Most of the knock however was caused by the lean conditions. I was able to remove about a degree of retard between 104-113 degrees IAT temps on the compensation tables, and I removed the -3* of retard at 212 degrees for ECT compensation tables, the rest remained stock. With the lean running all this knock was occuring at 70-80 degree IAT's, but on the especially hot days it was horrendous until we actually figured out what was causing it. I havent even touched VVT yet, thats all going to be track play. It's funny though cus when I first got the car i could barely get it to chirp a tire from a dead roll, now it will roast the tires through 1st gear from a dead standstill, and i havent even modded it yet except for the tune. My integra couldnt do that even when it was running in the mid 14's with its whopping 140 ft lbs.

PE is actually disabled on the stock tune, I believe it is set start at 8000 rpms or something like that. Make sure you have changed that table. If you post up your tune I'll take a look at it when I get home and suggest anything else you should do.

Also from experience: don't mess with VVT until you have got everything else in the tune down. You'll end up changing too many things at once, and the differences will be very slight so it'll just drive you crazy.
