Total advance is irrelevant... Every car is different.. and 30 is not a magic number.. some like more some like less.. Personally i couldn't run more than 26 advance with 10psi boost. and I still made 607 with afr 190 heads and an S-trim and I did have intercooler.. I did had a 224/236 XE cam though.

 

Highlander, I don't understand something. In e-mail, after looking at my TunerCAT file, you told me that I'm not running enough timing at 34 degrees. But you're only running 26???

Nope.. that was not what I said.. "enough" timing doesn't mean WOT

Besides.. i am running 36 (scantool) 1º/psi retard

so it means... 36-10=26º advance

 

Good thread. Subscribing...

 

Well, I'm not sure about you, but I do all my dyno testing an drag racing at WOT. . .

I've dyno'd my car with several different timing settings and found the most power at 35 - 36 degrees total timing when read by the scantool.

I think thats what highlander means? He has his set at 36 as well, but with the timing retard based on boost, he loses 10 degrees at 10psi for a total of 26 degrees advance. Maybe you understand this as well, just thought I would state the obvious.

 

WOT timing is not the only timing and it affects overall feel of the car and WOT power.

 

Botch,
Have you tried anything new? Plugs, octance ..etc.

Just curious to see how you made out.

Thanks,
Claude

 

 

I haven't had it back on the dyno yet. I put an msd-6al on it and richened up the fuel mixture some. I haven't had much time to work on it though. I'll keep you guys posted.
Later,
Botch
