    if you have a traction in your car
    disable it and run it in WOT ,,,
    the otherthing ,, do you have your log for your 18* timing ?

    you are running a little to rich with low timing for meth
    and how much boost are you running ?
    how much HP did you get in dyno ?

    Heres the log on 18* but that is a mail order tune that is locked. This log is on 8lbs of boost without meth. The others are 10lbs and now I will be running 10lbs with meth. I was told to try to stay around 11.30afr with the meth. Is this right or should I got 11.5-11.7? I dropped the timing to see if that KR would go away, I was thinking to have it around 18*. It only made 499hp 512tq on the dyno when I took it to get tuned and it should be closer to 580hp. I do not have a dyno so I have no clue what its doing now.

    If you haven't already, disable BKR.

    That will rule out that possibility. Before I forged my L76 I ran 19 degrees at 9 psi. You should be able to run 17 without a problem.

    get your Decay rate back to stock , and then muliply it by 10%
    second thing
    your intake AIR temp is little high
    i am not sure what should be your stock number ,,
    but you have taken to much from it ,,
    so the KR might be REAL because the IAT is high !

    i have attached a Compare photo


    just compare your file with the stock file
