Good advice on tuning timing

I found this post on romraider - I think it is a very good summary:

3D map view isnt one of romraider's strong points. ECUFlash is much easier to see the maps in 3d and smooth them out.

You need to concentrate on getting the maps smooth and logicalThere should be a progressive increase in timing with revs to allow for the extra time needed for the flame front to travel and burn the mixture. Therefore each increase in rpm should have an increase in timing. The point at 4400 on your maps actually goes down. Maybe that was to fix a det issue but the correct way to do it would to be smooth the surrounding cells to still allow this logical increase.

The timing should also logically decrease with increased load.
