I think I am getting the hang of it now. Every change I do, I can feel and see what it is doing when before there would be lots of good changes and some bad and then I'd have no idea if it was from OP changes or other.
I have never ran stock vs GMS1, I went right to a remote tune from stock (which was updated to GMS1 and then edited for a bit more) so I am debating changing everything to GMS1 and then tweaking things myself since I read GMS1 runs around 20psi of boost? That is all I am really looking to get my original 200k turbo to do since any higher may cause a replacement very soon (it was pushing 23-24psi on the remote tune) I know it is a leaner tune so I would update the PE and all that.
My current questions are:
1. does load damping help with quick blip of throttle knock? part of me thinks it does nothing (which I have also read a lot on the older threads) but I tried to disable it recently and I am not sure if it did anything. Sometimes its #4 but other times it is #3 or #1. 1-3.7 degrees.
2. For smoothing out a table does that mean the 3d chart is really symmetrical? meaning the lines are all linear horizontally and vertically. I have been playing with this during my first version and there were some really good changes I felt during city driving but I also found a way to mess my idle up cause it became lumpy and random rev hanging (which I later fixed due to changing DFCO) the tables I hand smoothed were: main spark, op spark, torque to load,and optimum torque. The only one I hand smoothed for this new version has been main spark so far.
3. For my cold start and idle I know GMtech mentioned ~20 degrees for cold start is ideal for a happy LNF. Mine was around 15 today but slowly declined to around 9-10. As the engine warms up does the timing drop that much? For idle I do notice sometimes itll run as low as 3-5 degrees or sometimes even negative timing. Only thread I could find on that was MikeM.
