i just came back from a drive and i advanced all the way in both ranges. the car felt stronger. after that i datalogged it for 20 mins. i noticed the spark degrees goes from about 19 to 42 degrees while i'm driving. not sure what that means. when i went to the diablosport web site it says to datalog without the tune to get the spark degrees and then after the tune is in to see what your factory degrees of timing is. i'm kinda confused on makeing how to knock the degrees back for my nitrous tune if theres a 10 degree difference while the diablo tune advanced is in the car. i didn't data log on the stock tune yet because i got pulled over because i looked "suspecious" while i was looking at the tuner in the car.

i dont think its 10 degrees, i think its 10 percent. Thats why i said 2 "units" in my post.. i wasn't sure exactly what the numbers meant.

What time did you get at the track wit the nitrous? Did you ever have the car put on a dyno? You could probably get quite a bit more HP both ways if you had a tuner tweak it with the NX a and without. You would have to find a tuner that uses Diablo sport software though.

i actually havn't sprayed at the track yet. Most people with a relatively "stock" setup and 100 shot can hit mid 12's... good tires help out alot. yea theres alot to learn about the diablo that i havn't yet.
