The only reason tuners (not all) are able to sort of eTune the timing on this car is because, even at lower boost levels on the stock compression, you'll likely be dancing on the edge of knock feedback at most load points before you even reach MBT.

When ETuning, it's best to start off with a known working map that you've developed on the dyno over an extended period of time. This ensures that the ignition and cam timing that you start off with will be close to where it needs to be.

Thanks! But I don't plan on e-tuning. I plan on possibly getting the original tune from D3 and have them send it over to Top Speed here in Atlanta and get dyno tuned the proper way.
