I think the Map 8 description is off. Map 8 should not be used as a starting point for flashed ecu/stack cars. Flashed cars that wish to stack should log with Map 0, then proceed to Map 1 or Map 6 depending on Map 0 log results.

Does your car have other engine mods? Which map are you on. Is it the right FW? Sounds like you bought a used device. Are you sure it's the correct FW settings and working correctly? On new fw and map 0, it's not adjusting anything. If you get a light on that map, it's either a poor installation or other defect.1st thing to do is check the FW settings.and connections There's a link to the jb4 threads on their site with more info on what settings should look like.
Zero other engine mods. I did buy used. I am on map 1, I just flashed firmware 8.8 alpha. Reading your first reply, I believe I am in the correct map to start the logging/fine-tuning process.

Check FOL. I got my JB4 used and FOL was set to 70. Talked with George and he recommended I changed it to 50. That fixed the occasional CEL I had as well as a code I would get consistently (can't remember what the code was but it was related to fuel delivery). Happened to be on both maps 1 and 2, but I have no issues now.
Thanks for the tip. I checked all my connections and one of the AFR harness ports wasn't in all the way. Reset the codes, took some logs, and the CEL did not come back on as of now. I'll keep the FOL in mind!
I just took my first logs. I did four pulls only in third gear from about 25-80ish. Some of them got cut around 65-75mph. I was on map 1 the whole time. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. The elevation where I was testing was probably around 4500 ft and it was about 95° F today. If someone could give me any sort of insight on my data I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
You mean no other maps? Or what?
I looked it up, and there is zero 93 gas in Utah. Since the altitude is higher, the air is thinner. That helps mitigate the risk of premature detonation. Therefore, there is no added benefit of 93 gas here.
Okay, that makes sense. Do you think it's worth it at all to try map 2, or nah?
Nah but here's the thing, you can try it once but if so, do 1 full throttle run from 2k to past 6k in 3rd gear with the oil fully to temp to avoid all that other noise. If you see ign 2 though 4 have 3* peaks of timing correction on a stock Alltrack, that's too much and 1 more psi will get you there. Most of us set out cars up for minimal or 0 timing corrections because the difference between that and the limit is usually less than 1 psi (closer to 0.5). The timing corrections that you already have on map 1 would indicate that you don't have the headroom for map 2 (+1psi) and most here would tell you that you don't have 1/2 of that. 1 run on it won't break anything but it really looks like waste of time. The other thing that happens is that the overall advance (ign 1) can retard so much (to try and prevent the induced pinging) that you're not really making more power with the added boost and at that point it's all risk and no reward. I think just about everyone's recommendation here would be to leave it as is unless you find better gas. Regardless of what you read, higher octane would allow you more boost and power.

Took a peek at map6 setup - saw it is absolute by default, at least in mine (...I sort of expected additive values).
For the 1.8, what does the default equivalent additive map look like down low, I know it’s largely +5, but where does it deviate? 6MT AT, like idea of some extra clutch patience. Are there any other parameters in there to double check; FOL 45, FuelTrims 100...what else.
Thanks all.
