    I count 4 critical mistakes. 5 if there isn't an IAT sensor in the manifold.

If you can point out on the 2 logs were the tune is so bad that it's going to hurt itself i'm all ears . I was only curious as i have never seen a ls tune without using PE and why it did knock when it was turned on . Just wanted to understand why using PE would cause knock on any tune. P.s i'm not asking why it made less power with timing taken out , i was taking timing out because it was going into knock with the PE on, but you should know that with your level of ability
    I don't have to look at the data log the tune is just atrocious. If you painted my car and it had curtains I'd know you sucked at painting too. The VE is completely whacked. The timing table is as well. Don't have to go much further than that to know you're not qualified. Sure wish your customer read through this.

    what state in australia is the car located in?

    from my experience, every man & his dog are tuning ls cars now, even a lot of workshops (at least in w.a) still don't have a very good understanding of how the late model controllers work, especially with vve tuning.
