I have a Lund FF tune, and I have a Nguage mounted. Something I've noticed as far as the Knockr guage goes, if I use gentle throttle in any gear, I can go up to a full -10 degree timing. But if I try to go WOT, the timing will drop and I may get all of about -1 degree. Adding timing is adding power, correct? So wouldn't I rather have that full 10 degree timing at WOT then a gentle acceleration? And one more question, around the 3500 rpm band under medium acceleration, it feels like it get's stuck in the power band, if that makes any sense, or a hesitation for a short period of time. Even the knockr guage stops while it's stuck. The manifold has active runners that change during acceleration, right? Could those or the TB be getting stuck?

As long as you stay in the slight negative at WOT you're good. I don't believe I've seen -10 on mine but you're ok. Pull up your total timing on the ngauge and you'll find that at part throttle you get more timing than at WOT. It's normal.


As far as the hesitation, not sure, maybe datalog it for Lund. Did it do it stock?

Didn't know I could pull up a total timing, I'll have to check that out, thanks.
