Have a little bit of an odd child / request. '88 SMEC P body. 2.5L w/ G-head and +20's. Intercooled sufficiently and an adj. FPR installed. .48 exh housing, with 2.5" exhaust.
Looking for more of a proper spark curve with the G Head in place. Full boost is realized by 2200RPM but is considerably flat until you pass the 3K RPM mark.
Currently running an '89 2.5T1 / Auto SMEC out of a minivan.

Thanks for any info or assistance.

2.5 G-Head cals are tough. Everyone I've done, it's been really difficult to find the right timing to balance between knock and high EGT's. Like a knife edge...

Do you just want a binary file to start with? I can post one if you just need something to give you a head start on your own cal...

Well,
I'm not necessarily looking for max output / performance. I know that running at 11psi, non intercooled with the stock injectors, and Fastburn 2.5 cal, I was getting no knock. and .88V on the O2. Not underpowered by any means between idle and 3000rpm. Just seems a little flat in that region.
I understand that it's a completely different ballgame when changing variables like the compression and flow characteristics. I'm not sure I'm in a good position to start playing with my own calibrations at this point. Don't have the hardware to do such things. I do have a socketed SMEC in hand though.
Maybe I should just be happy that it doesn't knock and just worry about keeping it fueled and safe. Have a good way to manage the MASSIVE torque when passing the 3000RPM mark? Would it be a big problem to just adjust the fueling for the +20's?
Any thoughts, recomendations?

Thank you all so much.

+20's are easy. I can build you a cal and burn a chip for you. Send me a PM if you're interested...
