No intercooler upgrade? Boost looks good, but timing looks low and a bit erratic. Most likely due to high IAT and crappy 91 fuel. Nothing to worry about though.

Not sure about the N26, but the N55 generally starts retarding timing around 120 degrees IAT. It reduces roughly 10%, then 25% at about 140 degrees, which is where you'll be on your shift to 4th. So even stage 1 could use an intercooler to maintain max power.

If you're in Cali, I would definitely run the ACN91 tune unfortunately.

You would think that even fueling and chevron and shell would be good enough for Stage 1 I guess not

I never had luck with Shell gas on any of my previous tuned cars - even 93. Always chasing knock and timing issues. Costco gas is working perfectly - 93 of course in NC.

The timing is all over the place. the fuel system is keeping up with LPFP and HPFP targets. If you are in LA/Cali, you have more sulfur added to your gas for the entire state. Switch to ACN and it should clear up. On average you should be putting down around ~250whp from what your log shows on a dynapack. If you haven't yet, make sure you are running the stock plugs at .022 gap. your AFR looks pretty stable and in very safe ranges.

good to hear how much is the decrease from normal 91 to ACN in terms of hp

It looks drastically better but you really need to do a pull in 4th gear. There's not enough "load" to see how your car reacts. Making around the same power it seems too. Might have to change plugs or check cylinder 1 if it doesn't clean up.
