Why not just back it off until you don't ping? Once you find that setting, that's it.
Cause that takes forever, and I'm lazy!
For one thing, it's hard for me to tell when my car is pinging, or barely pinging, because it's loud. I can't hear pinging really, or I'm afraid I would hear some pinging. I really don't want it to ping at all. But, I also know that it is different from car-to-car too, so I was going to use someone's suggestion here as a starting point.
To be honest, I don't think I heard any pinging with a Diablo Tune and 87 Gas, because I had that in my tank the first time I installed the Diablo tune. I didn't hear it then, but supposedly I really should have, because I'm supposed to run 93 with that setup.
But like I said, I can't hear!
I think right now I am at -30 timing, running 89. I think I'll go up to -10 and see what happens.
Also, I richened my fuel by 5. Should I put it back to 0? Shouldn't you try to run as lean as you can get away with? I heard that creates more power, since that's really what a CAI does is lean out the mixture a little. So I wasn't sure if I should just leave that at 0 or richen it, but I richened it to help prevent ping and for the
K&N being in there. Maybe my logic is wrong.
Thanks propellerhead.
