01 gt diablo tuner monitoring

tuner should be arriving today and ive heard 2 extremes. 1 case where people get ping with the unmodified tune, the other is people have maxed out the timing adjustment as advanced as the diablo will do and get no ping.



In either case, it looks like you can monitor some things related to ping in the predators diagnostics. I think that total timing and KR, are 2 things that you can monitor but am not sure if there are any others. Also i have no idea what any of these should have for values or how to adjust timing if they are high or if they are low.



It seems that if you have ping, you have to retard timing and/or add fuel. And if you want to add power, you can take fuel away or increase timing to burn up that fuel but you want to stay well below pinging.



Im basically looking to close this loop with the diagnostics tuel of the tuner and need some feed back on what parameters to monitor and what there values should be.



Thanks

since there are several posts on the diablo forum of people getting ping out of the box, i guess that wouldnt be true at all, would it. thanks for the reply though

i hadnt heard that before:
"
drive it up a hill, with the AC on, with a lot of load on the engine, and listen for ping when climbing the hill at part throttle and full throttle and pay very close attention for pinging."

thanks for the input
