How much timing correction is too much?

I'm sure someone could get them to work on the N55 you'd just have to be willing to experiment a bit with the gap.

The required gap correlated to the power your running. If you running stock turbo's then a stock type gap should work. I think the N54's were lowering gap from .028 to .022 which again is only needed at higher boost levels with upgraded turbo's when you start to misfire.

Good to know. I never really bothered to read the threads as the OEM plugs have served me well.

Hi everyone,

This thread has helped me a lot and the title is exactly relevant to my question. Instead of making a new thread, I was wondering if anyone could help me analyze my data log. I'm new to the community and I just got the access port. Unfortunately, I'm in California so I only have ACN91 available to me. I really want to run the "sport" map over "drive" but if there are problems or concerns, I will settle with the "drive" until I can afford to add more to the car.

I listened to what I've read through some threads and did a WOT pull. I'm seeing some corrections but it doesn't look as bad as the logs when I'm driving normally.

Thanks in advance!
