I got a XCAL 2 flash tuner. My tuner told me that i can keep increasing the timing by 2 degrees in the 2-4K and 4-8K range until it pings, then back it off.

My question is that when i go into the parameters, it displays zero for the spark advancement for each rpm range. So if i go +2 in each, will it save that setting to the tune on the XCAL 2. What i mean, so say i want to bump it up another 2, and go back into it. Will the parameter setting display zero agan? So do i have to remember that i advanced it 2 degrees last time, or will it actually say +2 and i increase it to +4?

And when i am increasing the timing a few degrees at a time, is this a few degrees over whatever my tuner originally already advanced it? Say if he put on 10 degrees, then will it be adding +2 to that?

Thanks, i am getting by this thing right now.

Thanks Toms,

I just emailed SCT from that link and got my answer.

The tuner does save all the values that you set.

You can't keep 'building' to a higher spark value than limit in the program. The dealer gave you a set value and in your program you are limited in raising it. Sct doesn't want you to hurt your motor so there isn't too much of an upper range - I think it's like 4* total.
