I mean max timing for the LFX motor is 25 to 28.....on 93 pump without getting alot of knock I'm at about 17 so....someone who is braver than I am can have at it lol
He only has you at 17* timing advance?

I ran 20 on 91 pump gas with 10 PSI of boost. The LFX's I have tuned can run 34 degrees with the knock sensor set at stock levels. If your tuner has never tuned a direct injection engine, they should not be tuning a LFX.

They have a solution. But it is a muddied solution. Trying to avoid using 8 pieces to make an elbow. They want to do a new intake tube but we are trying to go with a more cost effective solution for the masses first

That one tube you linked me was a 180° elbow, is that really the ideal one or would a 90 or 45 be better?

The actual CAI Inc angle is closer to a 120* angle, if I recall correctly.
