has anybody datalogged their car while using any kind of timing retard box? i tested mine out last night without the bottle hooked up to see if i could feel the difference when i activated the timing retard on my digi.6 box. I could feel a little difference, but i noticed that my spark advance on my laptop did not drop when i activated it. i thought that it would show the decrease in degrees, but at WOT, it showed 34-35 degrees even with the button down. On the motor i am getting no knock count WOT, but i am getting knock retard. On the bottle (with the box set to pull 6 degrees), i did get some knock count as well. i set it to pull 9 and i still got a little. should i back off my WOT timing tables by a few degrees and see if that helps? what kind of total timing range should i be in? (on and off the bottle).
