Should Be Running Better Than This

[BenHenthorn]

According to the tech guide I should have around 350-400 HP, at the very least I would say 300 HP. Anyway, a couple weeks ago I raced a 2003 Acura RSX Type-S with full 2.5" exhaust and intake. I didn't beat him by much (half a car length) from a 30MPH roll, but I really think I should have just wasted him.

I have DSMLink V.2, and feel that I have the fuel and timing tables down pretty well, but I'm unsure of how to tune the airflow table. I'm not sure when to advance or retard the sliders in the table. I am also getting a lot of sputtering from my turbo in 2nd/3rd gear in 2000-4000 RPMs when I'm at WOT. I'm pretty sure my airflow table will help me get rid of this problem. But if I tune my car during the day, it sucks at night time, and the other way around.

It seems like everyone else doesn't tune nearly as much as I do and are running much better, not to mention I have to tune if it gets a little colder or else I will have 10 degrees of knock. Can anyone help me? Has anyone else had this problem before? How can I tune so I can get strong, reliable, and continous power? I'm just tired of using my laptop everynight just to see if I can't get my power back or try to figure out my airflow table. Thank you in advance.

I found that if I turn down the boost below 18 PSI it doesn't pop or sputter, but I used to be able to run 20-25 PSI without any problem. Any thoughts?

Im no master tuner myself but im pretty positive if you post a 3rd gear pull with timing,o2s,rpm, and throttle position im sure SOMEONE will see intrest in helping you.

I think I fixed my problem, I changed out the spark plugs and my DSM runs great. Not only did I WASTE that RSX Type-S but I also beat a modded 2005 Nissan 350Z from a 30MPH roll by a car length and a half. I pretty much forgot how fast DSMs could be, but now I'm just amazed.
