    Idle question for 2016 c7 lt1

    hi guys here is a log of my idle. i set it to 600rpm. here is tune as well. is this normal for timing to spike like that goes from 14ish to some time 26.
    the first part is with ac on then i rev it ac off. let it idle a bit. then rev and ac back on. here is the log and tune.

    2016 c7 LT1 7speed manual
    afe intake momentum pro 5r
    full exhuast headers no cats. dbbl helix x pipe straight pipe.
    ngk LTrIX spark plugs
    taylor wire set
    ATI super damper
    on e85
    stock cam

    thanks for any help or comments.

    ok now im convinced that the c7 lt1 idles wierd. i always felt like it idle wierd before i got hp tuners. now that i can data log i see that is caused from the random timing advance jump as you can see here on the log. it seems to get more frequent when the ac is on. the begging of the log is with ac off then about 45 sec in after a light throttle tap i turn on ac. the car drive fine btw.

    Your not going to see any changes, but this should change your idle where it's most likely intermittently struggling to idle due to leaning out.

    You say it's a little weird? As in???? Looks like you changed external load and some other things that might just need tweaking some more. Probably put peak torque back to stock.

    it sounds like a pop but it dont always happen. maybe its me.... but i put those tables back to stock and adjust the alchol multipliers 1 or 2 % cant remember. and started it up in my garage for few minutes. dosnt get to the temp i said just in garage but it did sound better so far in few minutes. hopefully i get time tommorow and driver her.. now that it was in garage i may have an exhuast leak i can hear it off wall.

    You can try raising your external load or even your reserve a touch and I do mean a touch to give it some headroom. Even putting a little relief into the left side of the predictive and adding to the right side can help with that sometimes. Otherwise are you actually feeling that? Is it shaking or anything like that? Engine load will be the only thing changing fwiw.

    should the values go up or down on the external load? it feels like a misfire when it spark spikes but no codes of anything and drives fine even did quick wot pull yesterday didnt break up at all.
