Default How much timing made the most power for you?

Hey there, I'm playing around in ls1edit and will be at the dyno tomorrow to do some tuning. I've got a few programs to play with from a couple of different places. One got me about 29-30 degrees of WOT timing but it was detonating and pulling back out 5-6 degrees. Another, pretty much locked me at 26.5degrees at WOT and high rpms. I've not tested this one on the dyno yet.

Anyways, what numbers have you found to work the best?

Default Re: How much timing made the most power for you?

I have never been on a dyno so I can't tell you for sure, but I can go by max advance without knock.

For me, with my higher compression (11.1:1) I "think" I remember it at just about 26 like yours is. Anymore and I think I started to get knock retard.

I still have more tuning to do (it seems like it never ends <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> ) but sofar that has been working. I know the increase from close to stock to 26 really gave the car a kick in the butt.......it scared me the change was so much.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> .

as the old saying goes...."***** to the wall my son....***** to the wall...." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
