That's a very simplified descripiton. You and I both know the ECU is given targets to hit for AFR's, timing, and boost. Fine tuning those targets is the difference between a tune that is constantly causing knock or a lean condition, and one that the engine responds magicly too...regardless of the environmental conditions.

Just let go of the hate.
