[MENTION=174015]Summers22[/MENTION] that's right I guess I'll have to see what happens with mine lol. Another question (sorry I'm really new to this) why are we adjusting the timing? Is there a certain octane I should use with these tunes?

[MENTION=180917]Bossgame[/MENTION] thanks! That was definitely helpful!! [MENTION=174015]Summers22[/MENTION] what would happen if I adjust everything else except that timing? Would that be an issue of cause problems?

I'll post my setup here also.
2008 4.6 Screw
Running on lvl 2 with 89 octane
+ 10 for shift firmness all gears
+.50 on timing (again as summers said listen for pinging)
Set tire and axle size and now I have fun with it she has a CAI and a single chamber muffler dumped b4 the rear axle. I love it think I have her dialed in perfect just play with your settings until you find the ones you like. And don't be afraid to ask questions I was in your position almost a year ago when I got my Evo. Believe me I asked a ton of questions.

So I emailed Bill at PHP last night and asked him about timing and octane this is what he wrote back to me today.
The canned Evo tunes are a touch conservative, so you should be able to add 2-3 degrees to the canned 87 Octane tunes without any concern at all. If you run 89 Octane, you can add up to 5 degrees.
It does not hurt the ECM to reflash it. I've reflashed test PCM hundreds, if not thousands, of times without incident. You shouldn't have any worries.
Now I haven't done this yet but almost everyone I've talked to swears by PHP and Bill so.

I'm kind of nervous to do this lol I've read that a guy on another forum was running plus 4 on 87 with no problems
