So my curiosity got the better of me and I tried the modified cam timing file.
At first, the butt dyno said it was slower, however when I took a bunch of 0-60 1-2 gear runs and plotted them in excel, it seems that my butt dyno lied....
sorry the lines between graphs aren't the same colors, but I plotted them seperately. However, they are all ordered the same between the two graphs so you can compare them that way.
If you look, you can see that 2 of the modified cam timing runs, the MAF and RPM readings shoot up way faster than the stock cam timing. (CA means Cam Adjusted)
As well, on the RPM vs time graph, ME7 logger was set to 10 samples a second, so the time values on the bottom are tenths of a second.
Based on what I see there, it appeared to cut 0.2-0.4 sec off the 0-60 time and maintain it. Once you get into 2nd and up, then you're above 4500 where it's all the same between the two files and the RPM and MAF readings show that.
What puzzles me a little bit is that there is some variation between the runs. It was never slower than the stock settings. However between the runs it was either the same, 0.2, or 0.4 seconds faster than the stock runs. So there may be some variance in how I started the run. When I looked at the screen shots from ME7 logger, there seemed to be a little bit of variation between how much advance I got between idle and 4000 RPM.
Id say what's important to note though is that the stock MAF numbers never displayed the same curve that the two modified runs had.
If you look at the two faster ones, it looks like there's a 'hump' in them vs the stock readings.
I'm going to do some more logging once traffic clears out tonight to verify. I'll try and curb my enthusiasm until I get a little more data and some more 2nd and 3rd gear runs as I'm kind of restricted for full power runs where I live downtown.
However, I'd say there's at least some indication that the extra advance is making a difference to the volumetric efficiency at the low end of the RPM scale.
Not bad though for free I figure
a lot of guys have paid a lot more to cut 2-4 tenths off their ETA on the 1/4 mile and at the very least, it's no slower than stock.
I've posted the .bin file for the modified cam timing in the first post if anyone else is brave enough to give it a shot
