on the definitive piggy back tuning guide, it says this: "On a 2g, you want to tune for timing advance. You want to keep the timing advance graph on the logger above, say, 15-16 degrees, and you want it to be nice and smooth. "

does that mean from the second i start my pull (3000rpms) i want it to start at 15 degrees and steadily increase? or do i want my timing to start low and be a little above 15 at the end of my pull?(7000rpms)

heres the guide if u need to reference it
 
start low then build smoothly to 16* (max timing on high ariflow table). smoothly meaning no valleys or spikes.

when I first go WOT it drops timing to 10-12 then builds from there. But remember with piggy backs when you alter the "fuel" you rreally altering the airflow seen by the ECU, which means you are not going to be on the high airflow map of the ECU I would see 19-23degrees total timing being on the SAFC and 110 octane while trying to get good o2 and EGTs. Thats why I love DSMlink. Actaully being able to control fuel and timing independant of each other makes it MUCH nicer.
