BBC timing ?'s I have a 489 in my late wifes 71 Camaro. It has about 10.5:1, Bullet solid roller I/E .686 and 255/266 @ .050. Has Brodix Big Brodie oval ports aluminum heads. We were running 110 octane at 36 degrees timing. I am now going to run premium 93 octane, was just wondering about how much timing I should run. I have it set a 28. This is total locked out. At $8.50 vs. $3.25 a gallon, I'm not in it to go fast any more, I just want to have fun. And win some rounds. This is a bracket car.

I was reading a CC article after I posted last night. They did a comparison on a 388 SBC, one with iron heads ond one with aluminum heads. They both made the same (within about 10) HP on pump gas with around 36. Guess I need to go ahead and bump it back up to around 34 and see what happens.
