I posted this over on eectuning.org, but didn't get any responses, so I figured I'd try here.

I recently disabled the WOT vs rpm functions in BE and adjusted my sea level table (disabled altitude spark table) to accommodate. My peak timing should match what I had for the WOT spark vs rpm (or close to it).

What I see is that the timing in my data log does not match what I have entered in my sea level table. At WOT, it seems like all my actual values are about 2 degrees (or more) less than my sea level table at that same rpm and load.

One example, at WOT, 4000rpm, 90% load, I should be at 32 degrees per my sea level table, but the datalog is saying around 29.8 degrees.

EGR disabled.
Load%=Load

When I had the WOT vs rpm functions active, datalog timing match that spark function.

I looked through all the scalers, functions and tables to see if I could find why, but coming up empty.

Any thoughts for why my data log timing doesn't match my table?

BTW, I don't have my blower belt on, so this is currently NA

Well, no responses here, but I did get a couple over on eectuning.

It appears the ECU/Tune was pulling timing values from the Altitude timing table even though I had it disabled in the tune (per the Z_SPKINT scalar).
When I checked the log and compared to the Alt. table, the timing values seem to match.

I updated the altitude table to match my base and sea level tables. Base and sea level tables were identical before, so I just copied that over to the alt. table so now all 3 are identical.

Datalog from this morning indicates my commanded timing is now what I expect.

The question now is why was/is it pulling from the altitude table even though I have it disabled ?

Yeah, that sounds like what is happening.

I confirmed yesterday that updating the altitude table has corrected my timing mismatch.

So, for now, I'm just going to keep the altitude table active and any changes I make will get copied to all 3 tables.
