Thanks for the help. Any reason for this, it was on race gas. |

Rev 2.5, stage 3, fbo and correct I'm auto. I tried going back to the 7/29 maps and the shifting seemed "snappier" but the car didn't seem to run as smooth.
I'm just surprised, last fall I ran a 12.4 at the track without my dps. Today, I ran a best of 12.6 with catless dps installed now and similar conditions outside, I also lost 3mph on my trap. My car throws no codes and runs fine under 75% throttle. But the car seems to lose power for half a second sometimes from 2nd to 3rd. It just seems I'm losing power and need some insight into these logs. |

Noooo, definitely didn't do any of that. I've read some of the things but never changed any of the values. That would make sense about the fuel trims dropping because the car was running so rich. Good spot on that. But what would make my car run so rich, I didn't make any custom changes. Just running stage 3, map 1 with upgraded OL limits to 95 because I was hitting the 34% limit.

Hrmm, I'm not really sure what would cause it to do that... just before it looked like it was almost maxed out in the other direction. |

I also find it interesting that as your boost tapers downwards, your fuel trims increase. Mine is opposite. As boost decreases, I would expect fuel trims to decrease as well. Referring to time 113-118.

Also, as for boost, the problems lies in 3rd gear where fueling gets maxed out it seems like. |

Here is what Vishnu says it is. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=670421 However, I believe he's wrong since he's comparing a manual car to an auto car. Auto cars flatline timing on every tune. Cobb for me does not flatline north of 6500 RPM though which is why I continue to run it. It's not boost or fuel related, as I've stacked a JB4 for increased boost on top of the Cobb and it still does not flatline while maintaining 12.0 - 12.2 AFR target straight through.

These 3/17 maps may be safer but I feel I am losing significant power. |

I still think it may be fueling related. Cobb maintains a very consistent A/F ratio even post-shift whereas the piggies not so much. They seem to play catch up and can spike rich and then lean immediately post-shift by a couple of points.....a little bit of instability. This is evident in the OP's AF ratio reading of 9.85 just after the shift. (OP you need to rescale your AF graph since your y-axis values are out of range and we can't even see the line. Just press "p" after clicking on that particular part of your datalog and fill in the values for the pop-up menu to scale properly) From personal experimentation - I can reduce the amount of flatlining I experience by running a lower Open Loop fueling number. When I run an open loop number = 100, I flatline just about every time. I currently run open loop at 85 and get better results with post-shift timing. It's not always perfect......but when it dumps post-shift, it only drops to3 degrees or so and climbs upwards immediately. That is why I think it is fuel-related somehow. Also.....didn't you state somewhere in another post that Cobb indicated a code for the fuel mode changed when the timing flatlined? Here is an example of the timing drop using OL = 85: Not so bad! . . . . |

Thanks for the help so far guys. So this seems to be tune related and not something wrong with my vehicle. It runs strong but obviously not strong enough. I don't get misfires and haven't thrown any codes for awhile.
I bumped OL up to close to 100%, I never knew it might have a direct relationship to the flatline on timing. So whats better if I can't have the best of both worlds, to hit the 34% limit for fueling or to flatline timing like that. |

I am running meth, whereas I don't think you are. What you have to do is log your fuel trims and AF ratio and see if you can still hit the AF targets without maxing out your fuel trims. Your logs seem to show that you already are hitting your fuel trim maximums at high rpm......but I can't see your AF ratio. If your AF ratio is leaning out as well at high rpms along with the fuel trims maxing out, then DO NOT REDUCE YOUR OPEN LOOP NUMBER. In my case, I am still hitting a desirable AF ratio and although my trims are on the high side......they are not maxing out and peaking for only a brief period post-shift and then recovering. You can't really compare meth to non-meth since the fueling is being supplemented by the meth. In my case, this particular adjustment seems to help with post-shift timing. In your case......there really doesn't seem to be a solution other than trying to run iess boost and see what happens. But have tried that in the past and could still generate the same pattern. No real solution. Checking injectors and seals is what Shiv suggests may be a factor in this equation. |

I just don't understand why running 100OL fueling that would cause flatlining. I'm almost guaranteeing it's not my injectors or seals. Those issues were prevalent on 07s and 08s with the prior injectors.
I'm trying to remember back to late last year when I changed my spark plugs and if the issues started then. I just don't understand why I had an af of 9.85 at one point after shift, overall my afs look pretty consistent between 11.8 and 12.3. |
