I am un-aware that you can monitor that in the Uprev software at this point, but hopefully in the future. Wayne
my High Det and Low Det are quite apart from each other right now ,, for the simple reason that if the ECU is pulling timing , I will know it pretty much as soon as its happening.

there isn't a setting that I know about running a lower octane map with high temp is reached. maybe in the future.

If you tune on the street, you need to make sure before every single pull/ run or whatever, that your temps are ALL the same. It's a science; keep all the variables the same while testing, make one change at a time.

Anyway, just remember to have fun!

right now I do not have much choice on the outside temp. its winter here
but yeah don't worry about that , I do try to keep my temp equal every time I do a pull.
but since I know where the limit are from my tuning experience from last summer ,, I'm not trying to go farther because that will probably wont give any power

My next dyno tune is probably at the end of March or sometime in mid-April.
