    I have done a few EForce kit'd cars and they leave alot to be desired for sure! One was a Hennessey car and I'm hoping they left that car with the can tune because it was a TURD when I got it.

    been there, done that..

    I didnt have a handheld tuner to start with so I was trying to find something to start the car with.

    I took my ECM to Ed Wright yesterday for him to tune so hopefully I'm where I need to be..

    Amazing stuff in these E-force tunes, though this is just the first one I've played with.

    Engine was knocking quite audible, though just momentarily but at least two times and ignition advance just keeps climbing. What an earth can be reasoning for these minimum spark table values:



    And why there's an Empire State Building in a High Octane timing map? Luckily just after redline, but anyway...

    I haven't ever seen that in any of the E-Force calibrations. Do you have a read of the ECU before programming with the Edelbrock programmer?

    No I don't, since I'm not the person who installed the Edelbrock kit.

    It's a good question, though, but I doubt handhelds are able to update just part of the ignition map. It think it's been flashed with SCT or something similar handheld.

    Correct, they use an SCT programmer, those programmers only write the changes that have been made to the file, everything else is left the way it was before programming, so if you don't start with a factory calibration in the ECU you have issues like you are seeing.

    The "Empire State building" in your HO Table is because the factory calibration in that area is 15 degrees, as is the Edelbrock calibration. Had they started with the factory calibration it would still be 15 degrees, but the car had been tuned while N/A and 25's had been put in those 4 cells, when the Edelbrock calibration was loaded on top of the non factory calibration those 4 cells weren't changed because they were supposed to be the same as the factory calibration.

    That my explain a lot.

    Does the SCT have a backup function? If so, I will definitely want to check what was in the car before flashing.

    Yeah, if you have the SCT programmer it would have backed up what was in the PCM. It should be under Program Vehicle, then return to stock.
