This is on the tweecer boards too, and I need to get this fixed ASAP. Obviously I am loosing alot of power from this, and their is a dyno day coming up. My only guess is maybe my MSD 6btm is pulling timing even thought I have it set at 0. Even then, would it show in my datalogs? If anyone wants to post their email addresses I can send you my datalogs and my tune and you all can take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks guys.

Is it still one of those every now and then kind of things.

If so, I'd compare a 9* dlog to a normal looking dlog.

Nope, everytime. I think it pulls more timing when it is hot. When the car is cold it effin flys, when its hot its a dog.

Do you still have the act unmounted?

If so, does the act temp get high enough to put some of the spark retards in play?

Just a long shot guess

How hot is hot enough to pull timing? I think it gets up to ~250 at WOT(ECT), and like 85(ACT)

Look at the ect & act spark retard functions.

Look at your dl and see what each temp is when you have the spark value of 9*

Again, its a long shot but I guess I'm just trying to figure out a way to put enough pieces of this puzzle together so you can see whats goin on.
