I am down at Jabba in the morning dropping my car off. I will ask a few questions and see if i get any answers.

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Yeah, there was talk of that when we were talking about intake manifolds some time ago.
Looking again at Ryan posted timing log, I realised I was looking at the timestamp
so his timing is spot on isn't it? CF of 5.3?
If he's saying that he sometimes get's CF of 7 deg then that's what puzzles me on my car - I can spend time sorting it out, only to have it start running 7s...
Going back to the inlet manifold though, I've often wondered if a better flowing one would let you run more timing, as it might keep the average across the 4 down (using Ryan's logs as an example, if a more even flow means that 1 and 4 run less CF, say down to 3 like the other two cylinders - you should be able to advance the timing a bit?).

To be honest in a perfect world you wouldnt want any timing pull. If you're getting anything higher than 3 you'll want to back it down rather than wind it up!
Probably give jabba a ring next week as i'm sure that above 5 isn't good,would the cold weather make a difference?
Hey steve,all that stuff means that i'm running a lot of timing and might need turning down a bit!!Not sure on the 18th as i might be down there next weekend,i'll let you know.

Exactly - the inlet temps are really low.
Good luck speaking to them about it. I don't know what they can do to adjust your timing remotely.
Maybe pointing out the obvious gents, but peak torque is the point at which detonation is most likely. It's when the most air per revolution is filling the cylinder - hence the dynamic compression ratio is at it's highest.

I would'nt bother with water injection this time of year personally.
I have'nt used mine yet. It was not mapped to make use of it by request. I wanted it there as a safeguard in hot conditions, heavy load (racing)
may even be hindering your CF's. Try with it off and relog.

you can get booked in then.,...
still waiting myself. 
I feel another call coming on.

Consider this...
Peak boost.... summer less air mass from hotter weather/ambients
Colder weather, peak boost, more air mass from cold weather/ambients - more air charge (density), so a change from ok to not ok if on the edge to begin with can be expected.
What conditions temp/weather wise were there when the car was mapped last?

I cant log easily.
spec way too different.. and getting a gear to grip on public roads to do a pull is risking more than I am prepared to do. (4th or 5th gear pulls req'd on mine with only fwd)

I dopped mine off Bill on the understanding i got it back when it suited them, there was not time restraints put on them by myself.
so mapped on methanol & millers? but not running it now?
no wonder...!
should only really have had it mapped on the worst case scenario you're likely to run
