i don't know how he would squeeze out more HP or have the car run better than it is now.

would be awesome to see what he could do though......

by adding back some timing..

could you look at my logs to see if there is timing to spare !?!?

[dzenno]

no, can't be done that way you have to increase timing a bit and rerun the car to see if the DME triggers any timing retard...its sort of like upping boost away from stock and checking timing to see if there's ignition retard

Advance till it knocks and then back it off, that's how timing works lol

I was going to revert back to v202 std but I think I will see how v203 does when its not as hot, temps hitting 100F today :S

that's clear - thanks.

patiently waiting to get ProTuned, HAHA !!!!

my car runs striong and safe as it is.

the next time i mess with the tune is when Cobb begins ProTuning N54's

Same here. I'll wait for the heat to end & see how they feel back to back again.

When I take the car back to the track, I will do at least 1 run on each map as well.

Soon to be Cobb owner, so Im hoping those 335is maps get released soon.

Almost. They do call it "timing" for a reason. Advancing ignition to the point of knocking isnt always where all the power is. It could very well be somewhere before the point of knock that is MBT. So you want to add knock until you dont gain any power (or knock).

In the case of our cars, with enough octane and low IAT we can probably spare a few extra degrees in some places for some extra power.

Thank you for the correction, sir

The DCT holds stage 1 power like a champ. The logic of the DCT transmission is a bit finicky. To be honest we have not tested stage 2 on the 335is as of yet.

I figured would post a little of my pre-lim work on stage 2. This is my tuning pre-going to Lance or our new Tuner, Jason. Given this is my work, Stage 2 is still a few weeks out before beta can start! Power numbers are also subject to change.

This is on 93 octane with catted TBE and intakes on a 10Xish afternoon.

Great work Rob! Can't wait

[EastCoast335i]

Rob-

Is Cobb planning on producing bolt-on parts for the 335, to support stage 2?
As you have done with other makes/models?

[Litos]

Rob, your meaty dong is showing !!!!!!

Eventually, yes. When, we are unsure. Right now we're building out hard parts department back up.

Rob

Rob, what was the stock baseline?

[Litos]

so i'm assuming, at minimum, stage 2 will require a catted TBE !?!?

[Bleep]

At 10Xish that's not bad

[rader1]

So, does "weeks away before beta" mean for general release late september/early october?
