Faster spool and off boost questions..

[AL92]

New to tuning a few questions. have dsmlink.
Can I lean out a lot under the boosting up area and then go richer as the rpm climbs?
Will higher timing or lower timing help the spool up.Heard lowering timing from stock can actually help spool up but also heard running much higher timing can help also.


Also does it hurt to really lean like to na type levels of 12.5 to 13 to 1 in the off boost areas? And does it hurt to run really high timing in the off boost areas? Wouldnt doing this really help the response off boost?

One more question.Why does my car not seem to knock at some afr in first or second but only in third see the knock mil come on ,its set to come on at 5 degrees on the dsmlink. Is third higher load or something?

The higher gears always knock more, and yes it's due to higher load. When I used Dsmlink I set the knock light to come on at 1 degree, 5 seems really high and I never understood why they set it that high. You should really be tuning for 0 knock, the stock knock detection system isn't accurate enough to tune for any more than that, although other people will say otherwise.

If you want more power and quicker spoolup in the off boost area's, pull fuel and add timing.

Also does it hurt to really lean like to na type levels of 12.5 to 13 to 1 in the off boost areas? And does it hurt to run really high timing in the off boost areas? Wouldnt doing this really help the response off boost?

That's pretty much exactly what you want to do, just be careful with the timing.

Keep in mind that the a/f ratio in DSM Link is not the actual ratio the car is running, you'll need a wideban to tell you that. You can get it (a/f ratio) close though if you go into the "Display" tab and select "values" . Look at the right side under "selected" and highlight A/F ratio. Once A/F ratio is highlighted click on the "props" button and enter your injector size and the deadtime your using for those injectors (fuel specific gravity should be at .76 for pump gas).

Do a boost leak test before you tune, Make sure your LTF Lo is close to 0%, and also check out this article and look at your values for fuel and timing from 3,000rpm-7,000 rpms in third gear while tuning, I've made good power using this method:

*EDIT* That setup should rock too
