hi vs. lo octane timing tables I've seen some posts recently about there being 2 timing tables, for high and low octane. Is there a way in autotap to tell which table is being used?

Re: hi vs. lo octane timing tables ask somebody with edit what the max advance is on the low timing table.. i think 24*? compare that to what you are getting..
if you are running 93 it SHOULD be on the high one unless you have really really bad 93 where u are.
it is always relearning and readvancing the timing so if it is low it should go up to normal with more octane.

Re: hi vs. lo octane timing tables I haven't seen any parameters that would indicate this. I know (on the C5, not sure about F-Body) that adding fuel (like 5 gal or so) triggers the switch to the high octane table. It falls back to the low octane table if it's unhappy.

Re: hi vs. lo octane timing tables I read somewhere that the computer resets to the high octane table when there is a change in the fuel level. It assumes that you got some bad gas and resets when you fill up again.
