    I just noticed that this setting under "Torque Management/Spark/Torque differential score retard" is set to (13) in the file that is currently on my car. I noticed in Jerry's notebook it should be set to (4) and have seen in some files it is set to (0).

    Question is: Does anyone know what this does? Also, could it be part if the issue of why I can't seem to add any timing past 14* with the amount of mods I have?

    Doesn't that fall under the abuse category? One of the .. don't give us torque that'll rip the diff in half.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Yeah it is under Torque Management>Spark and in the same table with the other torque abuse parameters but I am wondering if this is set too high it will kill timing.

    Example: Mine was set at 13 but Jerry says it should be at 4. Which would take away less spark under torque abuse situations I would think?. Anyone?

    I have never found a car that would "not let me add timing".....

    logs? Any DTCs? Have you tried overkilling the timint (adding 10 degrees or something) to see if you get anything?

    I should rephrase that. I can't add more than 14* of timing without getting KR. With my mods it seems pretty impossible that I should be getting any knock at 14*.

    I just went for a run with and increase to about 18* but I am getting 3* of knock up top. This is on a 3.6 pulley on a Gen V with a IC and 1.9 rockers.

    Something is wrong and I can't figured it out. Will get some scans.

    Well either it had something to do with the:

    -AFR Spark Modifier table- Which I zeroed out
    -TCC Spark Advance Correction- Which I zeroed out
    -The EBCM- I disconnected the connector which basically disables ABS and Traction Control.

    OR possibly something else I did that I don't know I did intentionally but now it seems I was able to add more timing.

    Gotta lover Monte Carlo tuning.
