This guide is not comprehensive and assumes you know a few things. The tables are based on complicated reverse engineerin
I won't update the example tables anymore since you can compare modern bins in TunerPro anyway.
This can help whether you're on MHD or JB4, some of the newer things here don't apply to older flashing utilities.
*I don't have a JB4 anymore so some of this might be outdated*
On the "Parameter Tree" make sure you are in "Parameter Category" view
Always remember to save your BIN when you are finished, clicking SAVE on the maps does save the actual BIN.

Boost/load goodies:

Flash- Boost is determined by many tables. Load being a major one, and boost limit multiplier being another major one.
Flash tuning suggestion- increase load to increase boost. If you hit flatline or shift problems, you need to dig into load to torqu
This is more like a limit, and load target will not be reached at higher RPM unless you have MHD or Cobb.
Flash tuning notes on load- you can taper load by RPM if you have traction issues. MHD has tables for this, 6mt can use load b
For stacking- try and have a piggyback boost curve (if you have one) that targets similar numbers, although it's not required.
For standalone- bbflash/OFT can only have a maximum of 200 load, and they will not target this at higher RPM due to logic

OT GUESS VALUES AND NO HUGE CHANGES!!! Small changes to advance tables based on logs is key.
eal, though.
en add in timing as RPM increases if you'd like up to around 2 degrees.
I like 10-11 degrees at spool, MBT on 100% E85 is around 14 degrees, 13.5 for E50-E60
AFR's over 14.6:1 you can increase timing slightly in those cells (works well with E85)
s depending on mods and conditions. It's a balance as to what will give you the most power, AFR vs timing, decide on a dyno.
why are they LOWER at vaccuum? Because, BMW. No good reason IMO.

on how to adjust things:
ap (measured ATDC, value is gap from centerline value which for exhuast is AFTER top dead center)
e is for a Chevy, but it illustrates the concept well. We simply separate intake/exhaust onto separate camshafts.

a strong EGR effect due to lots of overlap. This is expected at partial loads, which proves true (highlighted in RED).
wever you'd like to get the calculated LSA value higher, definitely over 90, higher still if you'd like to reduce it even more.
 This means, you can prevent knock (to an extent) by adding in overlap in some situations. This gets tricky, however, due to thermal mana
vents are in crank degrees. The smaller the LSA value, the closer the events are to each other. Get them close enough and you have lots
the intake manifold. This contributes to carbon buildup, but also fills the cylinder with inert gas and improves fuel economy by decreasing
 gas or at low throttle, the engine will not engine brake as hard, allowing you to coast in gear farther.
adjust the LSA on a single cam, this leads to a "lopey" idle. BMW's have silky smooth idle due to high LSA values at idle
