engine tuning is a learned art and to get really good takes mucho time and experience. You dont learn tuning from one article, but the biggest problem is the narrow window of the perfect tune. They are different with every engine! Not just every different engine, but every engine in general. My vspec will not be set at the same tune as yours, etc, etc.

The best way I could tell you to understand is 1/24 of a turn on any needle in either direction will make a difference. You are on the right track. I think you just turned too much, and never tune until your engine, and chassis are warmed up. You want at least 1-4 tank of warm up before you start making any changes. also, never tune for temps, tune for smoke, sound and performance..Keep at it, it's come with time, just keep checking your temps, and try not to get to close to 300

PS after 7 years, my tuning still sucks
