400Nm and hp was SAE corrected at the hubs, not at the flywheel. AFRs were good, while timing was kept very safe.

The engine did not want more timing and we did not want to push it any further. Control using flash tuning is not 100% unlike Motec or Vipec where the software actually tells you where you are on the map.

Flash tuning is limited to datalogging. We do not want to dalalog, while inducing knock, which in this case the HKS knock amp was indicating knock when we advanced the timing just a bit. So pulling back timing, while not going excessively rich in mixture was deemed the better direction to go.

Edit: For the benefit of the others who do not understand what we are talking about, look at the hp graph flattening towards the end instead of heading steadily upwards. Timing and boost was pulled back towards the end to protect the engine from detonation.
