you have a little to much timing... pull 1 or 2* off of your timing below 4000 rpm or whatever the low section is...

I thought diablo only controlled timing at WOT?

Retard timing, reduce heat of intake air charge, or increase octane.

I believe you are referring to "tip-in."

You'll have to just pull timing globally, as Diablo doesn't let you change that value specifically.

I lowered mine down to almost nothing though, better throttle response and no pinging. Perhaps a bad tank of gas?
