Ahhh... thank you.. Yes, good catch. I thinking lambada and typing AFR. 12.5 is scary range to be at. The line between a great powerful tune and a boat anchor is easy to cross.... absolutely ignition timing is key. The beautiful thing about Isuzu I-Tec EFI system is its optical crank sensor providing the ECM with 1° increments of crank rotation. The ECM knows exactly where each piston is located, what stroke it's on & precisely when to ignite or inject the fuel.
Fun fact...
GM coppied this system and named it Opit-, Spark for use on Cadillac & Corvettes 8 years after Isuzu launched it. But the GM system made by Delphi never worked correctly & always failed.
