Default Some questions about my turbo kit.

Generaly speaking what makes more power on a FI engine? 12:1 a/f, and very reduced timing, or 10.5:1, and about 2-3* more timing?

Also how big of a restriction are log style manifolds, and could they be part of the reason I've had to pull so much timing to stop the engine from knocking?

Any thoughts appreciated.

uh...i think the BEST question would be which is SAFER for an FI engine.

you can run 13.x A/F for the most power (assumption) and last a week or less or two...

11.0 with more timing...
