    So i am completely new to engine tuning and i am trying to learn the basics. I have a Bluetooth OBDII reader and the torque app. I have been collecting data to help understand what the readings are and what they mean.
    Today i collected data during normal driving and a few WOT runs.

    I would like to understand what my readings mean.
    Knock retard high value was 3.7
    Timing lowest reading 8.0 highest 36.5
    AFR 14.7:1 to 10.9:1
    boost maxed out at 8 psi.

    Car has intake,exhaust,u bent delete, stock pulley, stock plugs, unsure of t stat but run around 185 to 190.

    If there are posts that explain some of this please share i have been reading tons of thread on this forum and gotten lot of information.
