Default 31.5 degrees timing anyone?

Anyone have 31.5 degrees of timing at WOT WITHOUT knock? This is getting weird, I,ve been bumping up timing and it seems I can't get knock. This is on 94 octane with the motor running at about 180 degrees, and intake air approx 50's

Alot of cars will run that much timing without KR.

Consider yourself fortunate that you can run that much timing without any problems.

A couple things you may want to consider.....

Setting timing on humid days will allow you to get away with alot more timing.

Setting timing on cold days will allow you to get away with more timing.

A rich running engine will take alot more timing. This is a very common one. Once people take their a/f to a more power condusive one (ie 13:1) then they start running into timing limitations.

A cold plug (nitrous plug) will allow you to get away with more timing.

Good Luck,
Kevin
