    quick and dirty video showing the horsepower/torque gains of adding 2 degree's of timing at a time starting from the factory timing values.
    if there are any other before and after type of things you would like to see, comment below and ill see what i can do!

    Enjoying the vids. I have a 2017 Silverado 6.0 and tuned it. It went from 360 hp to 505 with some bolt on things but stock cam, long block, and intake. The stock ecu limited hp to 360 even at iats of 50 F which is the temp I made 505 at tuned. Torque was 495 at 4000. Amazing what a thorough tuning can get you with LS engines! Truck was a dog, now a blast, soon a turbo.

      @@mikeokc8722 yes, also the basic tune. All torque management is turned off on the engine now but I left the full amount of torque management on for the upshifts in the 6L90 transmission. The engine runs in open loop only, this is a game changer, making fueling completely user set and really easy to control.

      @@teagreen2220 I have found when in open loop only, my throttle is limiting to around 60 percent, but gets full throttle with the maf working. Any idea what is limiting on it? The immediate command and actual show about the same. And usually limits throttle when crossing the max torque amount. The peak torque is still higher and the predicted torque is high. I am thinking the predicted being higher than the peak may be limiting it. 2013 L96 6l90

      @@mikeokc8722 I am running mine “MAF only” and always OL but it is still important to have the tune correct for SD on mine because the E78 ECU references those tables for throttle responses even in MAF only configurations. Generally I tune my SD to come on about 5% more fuel than the spot where I initiated a throttle change for accelerating. This works well to basically gas it as I start to floor the pedal so that there is no lean conditions as the MAF catches up with the airflow. The engine torque limits I set higher than can be actually achieved and the torque tables I raised from stock to allow for the transmission to reference a realistic value so that lower load shifts get a firmer holding pressure for less band slippage during shift because the power the engine is producing is greater than stock now even in low driver demand situations. If you raise the torque tables to high then you will see a reduced power due to transmission pulling too much timing during the shift.

  • @biondanishgenomeinstitute8193

    I only got a BMW R100 motorcycle, but its the same thing. Have you measured the engine heat on the pipes with different advances? won't the engine knock or burn the pistons on continuous load with higher-than-factory advance? when I advance my little two-cylinder 70 hp engine to the max it idles much better and gives better mileage, but I am afraid of hurting the engine. So I put it half-way between factory and max which seems to be a good spot. Of course there is no throttle-position advance on these 40 year old engines.

    Do you ever make any changes to the spark values in the normal driving areas of the map? WOT is 24 on my LS3 but I'll see like 40-41 just cruising. Is there any benefits to running so much with a low load?

  • @chui19801
    @chui19801 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Joe. One of the main problems is that people watch this videos and quickly want to copy the tables or values just because they think their car will run much better and power gains will be instant. Huge mistake. like you said, every application is unique to the car and maybe if both cars are identical, they might get lucky. But, that is not the way to go about business. pay for your own tune and apply that to your needs.

  • @timmy622
    @timmy622 Před rokem

    I’m really enjoying going through your videos and learning and appreciate you taking the time to make them. Since I don’t have my own dyno, what would/should I look for as far as making timing adjustments? I’m guessing reading the plugs, but any other advice?

  • @motoflyte
    @motoflyte Před 3 lety +4

    I'm a novice... I would have thought that 0 degrees would have the spark plug firing when the piston is at TDC. Then values would be - or + in relation to zero. Normally engines start with timing something in the teens. My corvair rampside truck is at 13 degrees
    Oh...I think I get it now.... The value of say 26 is 26 degrees BTDC, correct ? So this is advancing the timing, as I suspected.

    • @JoeSimpsonAtTempest
      @JoeSimpsonAtTempest  Před 3 lety +6

      Correct. If i say 18 degrees for example it would be 18 degrees before tdc

    • @JoeSimpsonAtTempest
      @JoeSimpsonAtTempest  Před 4 lety +3

      Twisted_717 i have an external knock monitor but it takes a while to set up and calibrate so i rarely get a chance to use it. Only to on stuff that is having an issue or is questionable. (Going to do a video on it soon). But yea ultimately looking at plugs and just experience

      @JoeSimpsonAtTempest  Před 4 lety +3

      Always a nice insurance policy. In my experience you really need something you can record. Shit happens so fast real time you probably won’t pick up on a lot. Being able to to back and listen/view makes all the difference but then you need to calibrate for each car which takes a ton of time and nobody wants to pay for that time. They would rather have you just “guess” haha
