Timing Jumping Around... I've noticed my V feels a little soft at high load low RPM..., ie Flooring it at 2000 RPM.
I did some logs on Sat and noticed the timing is jumping around. I have it set at 26 deg with 0 KR. It will go, 25 then dip to 16, then back to 24, then 18. Once the RPM climbs it will hold the 25-26 deg no problem. Mods include, CAI, Kooks LT Headers and Tuning.
I've had some issues with the Kooks burning the #2 spark plug wire - would a slight misfire cause this? I thought I had it insulated now though.

It could be a few things my friend. On most factory spark advance maps you will have a dip in spark advance as the ECU goes through the area of peak torque. It may be nothing to worry about. But I would also check for an active knock sensor among other things.
