nitrous/timing & octane questions
nitrous/timing & octane questions Well first of all the car is a LT1 car with heads/cam with all other bolt on and I was just wondering since this car runs on 93 octane only. This car also has a digital 6 that pulls out timing which on the car its a forged bottom end car and he sprays a 200 shot through it. He also pulls out 8-9.2* of timing so far with a wideband to monitor everything. But was told if he was using 100 octane he can probably set it at 5* of timing retard and still spray the 200 shot and be just fine and a bit safer, still make more power as well. Is this true and safe for him to run on this setup or what would you all recommend on this for octane/tuning? How much timing to actually pull on this set up, he already runs this setup with 200 shot and that timing pulled and runs a 11.5-12.3afr depending on the air temp outside and is looking to make more power and be on the safer side.
thanks, Tom

I would say that if you had str8 100 octane on that setup you would be just fine with pulling 5* for a 200 shot instead of the 8*....but plug reading would be #1 for this!
well there is b8efs plugs in there for the 200 shot and he does know how to read plugs as do I but we want to be on the safe side and know how much timing can be pulled. It has a ION tune in it and has had several 200 shots on it with pulling anywhere from 8-9* safely with a good afr. But we want to run 100 octane and put more timing into it and get more bang for the shot.
