So I'm thinking combined with 18-19 degrees of timing with a 12.2 air fuel and 3-4lbs of boost, it was not happy. Is my timing too aggressive for 91, or should I just change the base fuel table transition?
Can timing affect your AFR? Advancing timing just means you are commanded spark earlier, right? Where is the piston at during ignition at 0 degrees vs. 20 degrees advanced?
Do I need to change anything in the tune because I have 96 cobra intake cams with the extra 20* of duration?

I would comand .78 at any point you are in boost. My car with the cruise on and pulling a hill will make 4-5 # afr is 1.0 or 14.7 and timing is in the 20's! I dont hear anything and plugs look fine also run 93 octane
when i was at 7.5# i was running a max of 17* timing and the car was faster than it is now. Just saying?
Also your timing vs rpm should if anything got opposite of how u have it as the piston is moving faster(higher rpm) you advance the timing my car has 15* timing from 2000 to 7000rpm under wot.
18* timing at 5# and 4k dosnt sound like alot but if ur knocking then back it off!
