No James, What "I" said was its a live map and so we would definately NOT not be able to tell exactly what is was for as its not an off teh shelf calibration:
Repeat of previous explanation:
I have highlighted the important part you seem to be missing:
The fact is, we may get this fellas car in, do an initial test drive with fuel, det and logger equip on and tell him we cant really improve it as its close to perfect.
If your still wondering why thats any different to comparing a spec on a screen, Re-read this bit:
but even then, if we found that it looks like, say 8:01 and standard head in most of the map, but we have quite a lot of spark lead from 5000 - 7000rpm, is that from a compression change, fuel octane worn bores, camshaft profile? Or even just camshaft timing?
The fact we can see from our PC screen that it has 4 degrees of advance at top end does NOT tell us why it was put there James. I must admit I thought you would know this, doing the job you do.
