Have you upgraded your spark plugs yet?
A custom tune won't give you any benefits if this is what you're seeing with the ACN map. I had a tuner offer me a custom tune for free a year or so back, but he was basically offering to remove over-boost from the stock map to increase safety with our fuel.
I think the thing you need to understand is that with CA 91 fuel, regardless of the gas station (within reason), doesn't even allow the stock map to make full power. If you're looking for more power, you need to address the octane issue first. A custom map won't do that for you at all.
I don't want to imply that a custom map isn't worthwhile... It absolutely is, but only once you have the supporting modifications to allow the custom map to make any difference at all.
My suggestions would be the following, if you've not done them already: - High Flow Cat / Catless Downpipe
- 97506 plugs
- E20 E85 blend (~1.25 US Gallons of E85 per fill of the tank, assuming you fill as soon as the first low fuel warning comes on) or Boostane for a few tanks
Once you validate that octane really is the issue (with logs), you can decide where to go from there on, based on the advice I gave in the previous post.
Obviously, you know the route I took, and I have a whole thread about my install and setup. I'd be happy to meet up and show you the install if you're interested, but there is not a lot to see because I kept it looking as stock as possible. |
If you mind sharing, can you disclose the cost of the entire WMI setup you have? WMI does seem to be the nicest in regards to not having to deal with mixing ethanol/race gas, but obviously the setup cost is much higher (although from what you said, it seems over time you actually save money per tank of gas).
