Stage 2 BMS N63 -Info Please

Alright so long time tuner here with an AWD dyno that just obtained a Stage 2 N63 piggy back for my own personal car. I'm used to a flash tuning environment, tables, duty cycles, etc so as basic as this device is I'm confused haha.

It looks like there is only 3 or 4 settings you can adjust through the USB interface. Where is everyone starting for reference? What should I look out for other than the obvious knock and lean air fuel mixtures? What sort of target boost are you trying to achieve on 93 octane?

Stock setings are fine 2 means mild and 1 means aggressive.. you can keep 93 on aggressive but recommend octane booster for more power.

badblack550xi How did you run your extra wires to the DME without compromising the water tight seal?

Better way of your water tight seal is to go out about 4 or 5 inches, make a small incision on the top of the cover, slide in the wire harness, and guide it into the compartment. You can then put a piece of duck tape or some other water proof tape if you are worried. But it is far enough from the box to allow any moisture to get to it.
