Help me with timing!!!!!!
yah in my area (ontario) we have 94 octane from the pumps, its the highest we can get here and its all I run but when I used lucas maxboost octane booster my KR dropped a bit.
its still hitting 33* above 5000RPM so I dont think its to far off pace. apparently strong health motors need less timing advance, im not sure if that applies to the LT1 though.

I don't use knock retard to determine optimum timing. If you add timing, with no retard, and it doesn't make more power take it back out.
Something some may not think about is advancing the camshaft moves your timing also. The scan tool & PCM can only assume the cam dowel pin is in straight up. Off set bushings and the 4 degree adv & retard key ways in the crank gear also move the Optispark.

Wish we had 94 around here. 91 is all we can find around here. Hard to find non-E10. Straight gas runs about a dime more when we can find a station selling it. That E10 crap hurts mileage too. Only a good deal for corn farmers. Drives up food prices too. Burning food for fuel is a dumb-assed deal.

ethanol corn crap is the dumpest idea ever agreed :/
I used the knock sensor to tune out knock retard, when I hit 0 retard or close to it i left her alone until I can get on a dyno again. Stock she put out 272whp and 306wtrq so hopes are high to break 300whp with headers, intake, tune and free mods!
