^Thats probably Tim @ MPH, he one of a few that doesnt set it up based on load.
Here is what he said,

"I tune totally different than most tune files I've seen from other shops. I set spark curves up TOTALLY different. SCT base files are setup on "load". I dont tune this way. I set spark curves so there is no way they will change based on load. Load tuning is dangerous in my opinion. Its a different opinion than most,but I have a track record of not blowing things up so I tend to think my way is the way to do it.
So,no two tuners are alike. Ask Jim Fitz, he went through 5 motors and his car was tuned by some of the best out there. Ask him how many motors he has gone through with me tuning it. The answer is zero."

Tim is reguarded as one of the best modular mustang tuners in the country....but maybe he didnt know about the issue at the time....it didnt show up on his low speed/part throttle testing while on the dyno. Apparently the actual weight of the car on teh engine, made this happen.

so for just my basic adjustabilities on spark.. from all of your exp.. what about do you think i should set it at in each range w/ my setup? i had the a/f tuned out by a shop for 50 bux to whats considered "safe but makes power" and he set the timing but left me room for my own preference. where do u think it should be?

i can data-log, but i cant load the results to my computer. i would need the cable for that, which they want rediculos amounts of money for last time i checked. what i can do is drive around with somebody and try to see what i can read. Ill see what i can do later today.
