new commodore

[odd boy]

Hi,

Have u ever tuned the new commodore before? When I tune them on dyno, they made more HP, but on street! They got beaten by stock ones in the 3rd gear (auto) any idea what is going on?? Note, in the 1st & 2nd they are ahead, and then get beaten.

thx.....OB

Your timing doesn't really look to optimal to me. I'm hardly a 6.0L expert but I can't understand why you would progressively pull timing at for example the .84G/cyl column as RPM gets higher above 3600rpm all the way to the limiter. Sure pull a bit at peak torque.. But you have to raise timing with RPM as the ol bang process tends to need more time to do its thing the faster the engine goes.

do u think I have problem with AFR, the engine doesn't accept (+) timing. If I shoot for 12.2 ~ 12.5 the car knocks a lot with stock timing.
