My guess is due to tolerance. Not every engine performs the same, so they establish a baseline and everything is patterned after that, then leaves the rest to the aftermarket. Sometimes they also do it for marketing/future-proofing, that is, they build something to support up to "y" but offer only "x" so it's something they can offer as an improvement during MY or mid-model year updates without having to go back to the drawing board, which can cost a pretty penny.

is there really zero issues with warranty work on this? something tells me the dealership will certainly frown upon it and try to deny engine work..

Dyno
I installed mine but have yet to get it dyno'd I was told by a friend at work that he could get me dyno time for $30 for a few pulls but he has yet to deliver on that promise The Triple Dog GT tuner has a performance monitor built in and lets you do some stuff like 0-60, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile etc... but while it is interesting it is not accurate as the data logger you download to display the HP and TQ graphs is at beta.bullydog.com and the beta part seems to be a key word in the address of the site for a reason...

You can find Infiniti techs out back behind the dealership that are willing to advance the timing 2 degrees for $20. How in the world do you think Infiniti would be able to void the warranty on the engine because an Infiniti tech advanced the timing with their own consult tool?

...any thoughts on the best way to dyno this thing?
I have a place lined up to do 2 pulls before & 2 after.
I'm just wondering if consecutive pulls is a good idea or not,
considering heat load for the last two & whether the ECU fully adapts, even with a quicky reset.
..or do two separate days after the ECU has learned the new settings.
- problem there is getting similar atmospheric conditions. (plus added cost)
