I prefer a conservative tune over agrressive one. If you cannot run more timing due to detonation, It is obviously a setup issue not a tuning issue. Keep in mind im on a 2.2l not a 2.0l. The amount of timing you rjn changes between the two engine. One sits at tdc longer than the other and as a result dictates the amount of time you can run.
Tuning the car on race gas will net more power, but it will still end up with a flat lined graph near redline

"Fat power band" did you look at the curve? 100% of torque is delveloped between 2 and 4,000 RPM. I believe S2000Junky correctly called it a light switch. His words not mine.

Ehh. Mine jumps 150+hp in 1000ish rpm and it's not a light switch. And if you don't like the power delivery you can lower the wastegate spring pressure and manipulate boost with an electronic boost controller.

Looks like this kit is begging for E85 and more timing in the upper end. I know from past experience that King Motorsports tend to err on the conservative side which is not a bad thing.
Dustin, have you thought about taking a nice drive up to LJ at Fullblown and let gim have a crack at tuning the car? Just a thought.
In the end its your car and you have to please no one but yourself!

Its pretty obvious that a lot of people don't understand what this turbo kit is all about is about track days and the power and torque show that. coming out of a corner its almost instant power which is what you want

Not everybody that buys this kit is going to track the car. Not sure in THIS car I would want instant torque coming out of a corner. Mine would not handle it unless I dropped boost way down for a track day. The bottom line is it looks like a nice kit that can make great power.
