Cool video. I don't really understand enough of what's in there to know where the danger vs. safe area is. I find the info very interesting, but I think I'll leave the tuning stuff to those who know what they're doing.

I am very interested in how mods affect the timing of the injection event and increase the likelyhood of detonation. I want my truck to be dependable and long lived, so I guess I've got some more researching to do.

CP testing is also a major role in determining those interests.

Injection timing- start and end (this can only be accurately seen in the cylinder)
Detonation
Good and Bad cylinder pressures can be obeserved and analized while the truck is running.

Many more points are obeserved.


Is CP Testing used in your analysis?

Okay guys here is a skeleton list from Jody.

Start of injection/SOI
End of injection/EOI
Rate of injection/ROI
Average start of injection
Average end of injection
Average rate of injection
Detonation
Peak cylinder pressure
Peak cylinder pressure location
Burn rate of fuel
Cylinder temperature


There are other points, but these are the main points Jody looks at with the EA equipment. These points will show if your tunes are dialed in for the modifications you have installed. He then looks at data specs on the mods and it will tell him if you are within range of the specs or not. Jody will load different tunes to see how the truck reacts to what he changes. He captures this data then goes back and determines which tunes will be best for your modifications.

As for live tuning, its nowhere in the same ballpark as far as the the info you receive from EA tuning. Live tuning dials in the tunes to your specific wants and needs and EA Tuning will provide vital information from what you have done and the tuning you are running have is safely set to your modifications and the mods have been engineered correctly. Having both is the ultimate assurance.
