I gave it go - It felt like an EVO ;-) Seriously, my results were very safe and at high boost the timing was terrible.
Take a look at these two points on a 3rd gear pull. It started WAY down on the table in the 2 deg range.
It wobbles around a bunch of low numbers and then finally hits in the upper RPM band with knock at 17deg
The sanity check is in the HPbyAir. Good power is when you see 10's, and I'm struggling to get 9's and certainly anything below 9 is something to try and improve with more timing - until knock shows up. Rich E85 won't knock like this - it just bogs. Someone running full E85 leaned out would need to comment if the knock sensor is useful for tuning or not.
Something I just noticed while "track datalog" and "detach table" are enabled - I'm not sure if BoostEst determines the row in the timing table, or if it is using the ZT35bar - MAP sensor. It matters in the upper RPM range where the two lines separate - seems like the BoostEst value to me.
When the timing hits at the end ramping up to redline, you can feel it. If I didn't know what was going on with the tune, I'd be looking at extending the RPM band to keep pulling to 8 or 8.5K - but for overall speed - I'm better off bringing the timing back in the lower RPM ramps.
