DAM dropped to 0.812

That's a global timing pull. It's more than a single incident.

Is the car modified?

Yes Cobb Stage 2+

So I shouldn't trip then?

No, that means you have a persistent problem. You should be checking for what causes it. Vacuum/boost leaks, plug issues, improper equipment for your convenience stage 2 tune.

Does the car meet the modification requirements for Cobb S2+? You're not running a catless downpipe, are you?

Assuming your car satisfies the map notes, you should contact Cobb about the issue; you're paying not only for their device and map, but their support of the product they are putting out.

I did and they said that drop in the DAM is Typical when goin that hard. And it should fix itself within 30 to 50 miles. If not reset the ECU. If it returns then its a issue. Im talkin sustained 140+mph hard. Right to the brink. 2017 WRX

Hope you were on a track.....

140MPH on a base map is your issue...

Was on Stage 2+ 91 Octane. Not base map

Those are generic maps, if you are on a track you need to have the car tune specifically for the exact setup.

If you have a catless down pipe, or an intake not Cobb supported that kind of run can detonate your engine right now. Even wailing on your car if everything is functional and correct it shouldn't pull global timing.

Thats the thing. My setup was: Catted J-pipe, Borla Catback, Cobb Big SF. Got 93 Octane In the tank. Flashed at Stage 2+ 91 Octane. I think i might have just ran it to hot? Do you think I did irreversible damage?

Runnin smooth as ever.. Except for that 0.812 that keeps lookin at me

Unless the car was custom-calibrated for the setup you have, it is a base map. If you're using a map from Cobb that anyone can download from their site, it's a "base map".

Your S2+ WRX can't hit 140MPH on a drag strip. Your S2+ WRX can't hit 140MPH at Watkins Glen (you've mentioned you live in Rochester, NY).

You need to calibrate the car for the conditions you're going to be driving. When you get above what the ECU has been calibrated for, you will run into a "guessing game". Stay below 140MPH in the future; everyone on public roadways will thank you for it.

Yeah it's pulled that timing to run smooth. You are in race car territory, and if you don't take it to a performance shop to do a fine tune for your car then it's just time before you explode it running like that.

To pull dam you have a consistent knock. At high rpm and load that knock can instantly demolish your engine, at low speed and load consistent knock will drastically shorten the life of your engine.

Either way you need to check anything dealing with airflow, fuel, and ignition.

No doubt. Country road straight away. But good advice for sure. Im humbled, got a too cocky.

In that article, IAM = DAM (OpenECU / Cobb call it a different parameter, but it's the same thing)

Basically, your car pulled timing globally because it detected enough detonation from the active knock control strategy.

I'm not familiar enough with the FA motor tuning (merchgod got hired by Cobb, and the ECU hasn't been released on the OpenECU community), but exhaust gas back pressure has been an issue with previous WRX motors in the past. When paired with an intake, it made things worse. The 2015+ WRX could suffer this same issue. EGBP reading:

Must have had heavy Exhaust back pressure at high speeds? It was poppin. U think I should just go easy on it for 50 miles and it should reset

I know it's not the direction of the thread, and if I don't say it someone else will, but 140MPH on any public road could've quickly ended your life, or multiple others lives. Keep the high speeds to the track, and enjoy your ride.
