8.1L Timing - How low is low? I have seen several posts where folks say the 8.1's like low timing?
How low is low? How far should I go? Motor breaks up in the 2500 to 2800 rpm range. HPTuner scanner shows I am still getting some knock retard in this range. I started with the stock curve from a 2003 suburban and have been adding fuel and taking out timing. AFR's are pretty good, so I am assuming it must be timing.
I have been taking out 1 to 2 degrees at a time. Should I be pulling timing in 5 and 10's instead?
For HPTuner guys, tune file and log file attached. (Also any other bonehead mistakes you find in the tune file let me know)
