Though 0.24 may be low by some tuners standards it still has the ability to adjust, as it has not pegged it's lower limit of 0.00. So it really depends on each tuner and how they prefer to tune each vehicle. More information can be helpful in determining what is more likely happening within the tune.

Thanks for the info, I'm learning something new each day. This is just the base tune, used to send logs to my tuner - I wasn't sure what to expect, hopefully it will look much better on the next ones. I was just curious if it was safe to drive if it goes that low.. I guess it's safer than high and knocking. It's hard to get a got street pull anywhere immediately around here with all the traffic but I think I know a better place for next time.

Now that I'm kind of babying it this week, I miss driving it hard. But soon..
