Jason, This is why Marco said that you NEED to dyno tune SSR...his out of the box settings are NOT for every truck. You have to spend some time on the rollers and dial it in for your specific set-up.
Personally I could care less what the numbers mean...I know that when I dyno and add timing/duration and it makes power than I move on, but if it doesn't then I go back and pull some out. If you ONLY give it what it NEEDS then the chances of hurting something go down by a ton, then if you just throw SSR in your truck blindly and say..."Yep SOP meter says good".
I know that there is a big kick to "Know" the actual values....but now that you have the option to either increase timing and duration above or below stock values...then IMHO the "Actual degrees or microseconds" isint that important anymore.
It now becomes YOUR responsability to TUNE your truck appropraiatly. Marco has given you "almost" full control over those settings without associating it with actual values.
As we all know...Marco never stops, and I know that this isint the end of the ability of SSR...just give him time...
BTW, the ability to disable pilot injection is coming...Marco just needs to research on his mule truck some more....
I get the get on the dyno part. that's obvious. No one fine tunes any vehicle with any method with out it, unless it's a filled block or something like top fuel where there really isn't a dyno that would work. vast majority in any motor sport uses it when going to this level of tunability., got it.. never denied that.
Yeah, so your saying the guys that do the stand alone's just randomly pick numbers out of their butt and hope they work? BS! They are using formulas and what not to get damn close and understand where the line is drawn.
I don't get why there's just secrecy around these numbers.
GM and Ford folks are STILL laughing at us BTW.
EDIT: If there wasn't a desire to find out these duration and timing values, there wouldn't be folks scoping the trucks. Rather smart folks scoping their trucks that do have a clue, they want to know the numbers.
Is anyone going to gain from these numbers? Depends on how smart you are ;-)
