- this map has WOT pulls; for some reason seems a lot smaller than the other datalog i made.

The tune requires good 91 Octane but recommended 93+ ; Our Canadian gas apparently isn't as good as US gas so I just wanted to make sure the car was operating safe.

Thanks in advance for those who take the time to answer!

So I was leaving this thread alone hoping someone with more FK8 experience would help you. From what I see, it looks pretty good. The fueling is following commanded, and there is no knock retard happening on the WOT pulls which from my understanding means you don't have any knock. I guess the new ECU's don't register knock, but watching the knock retard helps to show if it is knocking. Therefore, since you don't have any knock retard happening on the WOT pull you should be fine with this calibration. Just be sure to always use the best fuel you can. The ECU can compensate for some knock, but always try to find the best quality gas you can at all times.

I would continue to datalog and focus your attention on the knock retard function in the datalog to see if you do end up getting some ignition retard or not.

Yea the tune was made in the US, I was a bit worried with our gas quality here; I'm already using the best available gas we have here hence why i reached out to the community.

Appreciate the time taken to respond!
