Were your timing tables from THUNDERMAX more retarded than the HEADQUARTERS site ??? After tinkering....where are your tables in relation to the HEADQUARTERS ones ??? Thanks .
The DTT base values are more retarded.

I need the "Thundermax for Dummies" version.

I have a copy of the new firmware but I'm scared to install it, I think I'll wait untill its formaly released.

Keep at it guys! Interesting stuff!

Where did you get your timing tables? How were your timing tables developed? Would you post them for comparison? Are you sure your build is that much different as far as compression goes?
TMax Map 283 is a fairly close match for my build. I've done a lot of playing and comparing with the timing, but I have ended up using the timing as it was set up by Zippers. No pinging and great power and response.

I don't have my map here at work, but you can download map 283 and check out the timing tables. I haven't changed them so far. I've changed the AFR tables quite a bit in an attempt to up my mileage.

Guys, I'll post my SERT spark advance tables for both front and rear cylinders tonight when I get home from work. Comparing the map from the "H" cd to the "J" cd, the timings are MUCH more condusive to a happier engine from the "J" cd spark advance tables. The timings are retarded in some areas and advanced in others, IMO, to reduce the shock load(evidenced by noise) on the new 96" motors in specific areas.

Again, I'll post these tables tonight. The finding of Jimmy Hoffa would come if the conversion of the VE tables could be applied to the TMax RPM vs. Timing tables.........only problem is the lack of tuning capabilities for both front AND rear cylinders in the TMax program, as least the way I see it.[8D].

Tmax does allow a bias to be set between the front and rear cyclinders. It has a table where youcan either advance or retard the timing between the two. It's either based on RPMs or TPS. Not the same as the SERT with specific maps for each cylinder, but at least you have something to work with.

Tell me more about tuning the timing between the two cylinders? I know nothing about this and would like to see a typical setup. Is the front typically more advanced than the rear, or visa versa?

So if we scale 11 to 88 then we end up with....

16 in-Hg = 11% Throttle
18 in-Hg = 22% Throttle
20 in-Hg = 33% Throttle
22 in-Hg = 44% Throttle
24 in-Hg = 55% Throttle
26 in-Hg = 66% Throttle
28 in-Hg = 77% Throttle
30 in-Hg = 88% Throttle

At least that's how the math works out.
My math came out different, but here's my take:

16 in-Hg = 2% Throttle = 12.54 degrees
18 in-Hg = 5% Throttle = 14.85 degrees
20 in-Hg = 10% Throttle = 18.70 degrees
22 in-Hg = 20% Throttle = 26.40 degrees
24 in-HG = 40% Throttle = 34.10 degrees
26 in-Hg = 60% Throttle = 57.2 degrees
28 in-Hg = 80% Throttle = 72.60 degrees
30 in-Hg = 100% Throttle = 88 degrees
I don't have a dog in this fight in any way shape or form, but for what it's worth, this is my take (correlating full-scale pressures and angles to throttle positions):
Code:
16.0 in-Hg =   0% Throttle = 11.0 degrees
 16.3 in-Hg =   2% Throttle = 12.5 degrees
 16.7 in-Hg =   5% Throttle = 14.8 degrees
 17.4 in-Hg =  10% Throttle = 18.7 degrees
 18.8 in-Hg =  20% Throttle = 26.4 degrees
 21.6 in-Hg =  40% Throttle = 34.1 degrees
 24.4 in-Hg =  60% Throttle = 57.2 degrees
 27.2 in-Hg =  80% Throttle = 72.6 degrees
 30.0 in-Hg = 100% Throttle = 88.0 degrees

30.0 in-Hg = 100% Throttle = 88.0 degrees
Heck, I worked on this too late last night. I completely overlooked the nonlinear increase in Throttle vs. the linear increase in manifold pressure. kdietz, you are correct. I'm going with these values.

16 in-Hg = 2% Throttle = 12.54 degrees
18 in-Hg = 5% Throttle = 14.85 degrees
20 in-Hg = 10% Throttle = 18.70 degrees
22 in-Hg = 20% Throttle = 26.40 degrees
24 in-HG = 40% Throttle = 34.10 degrees
26 in-Hg = 60% Throttle = 57.2 degrees
28 in-Hg = 80% Throttle = 72.60 degrees
30 in-Hg = 100% Throttle = 88 degrees

I'll correlate the values against the DTT base map and built the TMax timing tables tonight. Hopefully I get a chance to give it a run. It's been raining quite a bit here lately.

I completely overlooked the nonlinear increase in Throttle vs. the linear increase in manifold pressure.
Which correlation would be correct (maybe) if the flow rate past the butterfly is itself linear.

These ain't kitchen cabinets gettin' built (suggesting a 10 lb. hammer would work just as well as a 10 oz.) so the ballpark figures will likely get to the ballpark.

The auto tuneis a great idea but having it do so with timing,for each cylinderwould besuper.The auto guys can do it why cant the cycle side???
