Ahh. It is you. You even remembered that discussion we had. Hope everything is going well with you.

The amount of retard I'm presently using is 8 degrees. I have used as little as 4 degrees, but the circumstances that I used it in scared me a little so I added 4 more for a total of 8 until I was sure the fuel map was squared away. Actually, that is still an area that I can play with if I feel I need a quicker launch. As long as traction doesn't become a problem. The one time I tested it with just a 4 degree retard, traction wasn't a problem, but the fact the wheelie bars weren't on the car that time was. I was definitely caught off guard. The throttle pedal kinda jumped off my foot, if you know what I mean.

I just finished studying the latest datalogs and the nitrous is on for a total of .425 seconds from going WOT, to spooling the turbo to 16 psi @ 4,655 rpm. At .646 seconds from going WOT, the boost has reached 283.8 kPa @ 5,632 rpm.
