Update on the situation;
1. Still no dyno stuff. Sorry. Next time I swear.
2. Make sure that your heater hose clamps are tight so that they don't blow off your head and lose all your coolant on the highway.
3. Me and RedblockPowered spent a good 3 and a half hours doing runs back and forth on a highway, doing pulls, lugging the engine, and we developed a tune for the B230FLS blueprint. I suppose it's more appropriate to call it a tune for ultra-high squish engines, since that's the important part, and the lighter pistons simply make it much safer to do.
With 87 octane it knocks with a standard stock ignition map, however the knock is so quiet that we couldn't hear it unless we seriously cranked up the advance. Decreasing timing from stock results in no decrease in power, and filling with 93 octane allows a 20% increase in timing advance for maybe a 2-3% improvement in power. In my opinion that's not worth the additional cost for octane, so I stuck with the 87 octane map. I believe that it shows the efficacy of the fast burn characteristics, that so much change in timing can be made for very little gain.
