Are you by any chance going to swap over to megasquirt? :lol:
That would probably fix the issue haha
I still haven't gone for a drive with 0 degrees of advance at idle, but I'm pretty sure I'll see numbers like yours

Hadn't considered MegaSquirt, but may be worth looking into. :dunno:

The ignition timing is still interesting to me because I can't seem to get a spec on spark advance at idle. Ignition Timing seems to be the thing everyone ignores because it's DME controlled and non-adjustable in the stock setup. I need to put a timing light on another stock E28 to see what it shows at idle.
