I’ll check, my dash logic has a timing read out, your asking what the number it reads at idle correct? Don’t know a bunch about tuning yet and I don’t fully understand timing, I’ve got a basic concept but that’s about it for now. Any idea what it should read? I’m assuming it’s extremely variable depending on what’s done to the motor. I can give a run down of what’s done to mine if that helps.

When I was discussing the heat issue with my tuner he told me timing was low already. I didn’t get a specific name number I know when we did the tune he said he was keeping it low or moderate until I rework the heads. I don’t daily drive it so I do it have it at work but I can post what the dashlogic is reading on timing when I get home.

I’d appreciate that, I’ve been trying to read up on what exactly adjusting timing does but haven’t really found anything that does a good job of explaining it.

I couldn’t tell you for certain if the factory maps where touched or not. I know the prior owner and whoever tuned it last had serveal things that concerned my tuner to the point he said he wouldn’t tune it until these area are addressed. The injectors where several sizes to small for what was needed, it had the factory map sensor the plugs and wires were in bad shape. When he hooked up HP tuner he found some other alarming issues I was told. Apparently all the Knock sensors where off and deleted, something he said he’d never seen before. And the fuel ration was at 8:1 I was told that was ridiculous as well. New plugs/wires 850 injectors and a 3 bar map installed we started to dial in the tune. What specifically was done inside HP tuner not really sure and didn’t really understand everything anyway. Dudes been in this game a while. He was aware the heads weren’t addressed yet and that I was still getting a feel for the car. I think boost was 4.5psi at the max. I’ll post numbers of what the dashlogic reads on timing if that helps or sheds light on anything. I feel like he knows what he’s doing(could be wrong) but he was recommended by someone I have 100% trust in and pretty much everyone with a fast LS car in this area goes to him. I do hate not knowing all the technical ins and outs and I’m working on fixing that I’d really just like to see some lower temps.

Well thisnits what’s interesting......temps don’t seem to change with AC on or off. Doesn’t get any hotter with it on and doesn’t seem to run cooler with off

Sit in my car right now and looking at the HUD display from the dashlogic. At idle timing is reading from 10-19 degrees it’s constantly jumping from 10-12 14 18 back to 10 and so on.giving it gas to about 4k In neutral it went to high 30’s low 40’s any idea if this is useful info to you guys who understand it? I don’t really have the best understanding of everything the dashlogic is doing I know you can program a ton of info but I also do know that for a lot of data it only knows what it’s been told. So I’m wondering how accurate the timing degree numbers are? I need to really get up to speed on it, just haven’t had the time yet. Anyway thanks for any input in advance

Also my turner turned all the knock sensors back on the first time he touched the car and I haven’t had a knock sensor go off at all since the tune.Dashlogic reads that as well.

which supercharger do you have?

well ****

Well after lifting the car in my garage, originally was trying to see if there was a way to increase the air flow from the air dam up into the radiator, maybe a trim of the plastic underneath or drilling some holes. When I was under the car I noticed a small orange(ish) drop of fluid on the bottom corner of the radiator. Haven’t had the car long but I’ve never seen it leak any fluid and definitely none to the ground. Gonna bring it in for a pressure test this week. I’m assuming if there is a small crack in the radiator that would definitely cause me to run higher temps?
