Default HP lost with KR?

Can someone tell me how much HP is lost for every degree of KR?

Thanks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Too hard to say. The first degree of timing lost won't hurt you nearly as much as the next and that one not as bad as the next, etc...

The farther away from perfect timing you get the more each additional degree lost hurts you.

Look more at the total timing advance to see where you stand. In other words, 28 degrees of timing advance with 1 degree of KR is better than 27 degrees of timing advance with no KR.

Colonel, do you find bigger cams need more timing at peaks to make most power? More than stock max timing?

No, haven't found that to be the case. In fact, I'm leaning towards believing that bigger cams actually need slightly less timing advance for peak performance.
