Tuners running timing
 

How much timing are you guys running over stock...im tuning my car and bumped it up 3 degrees more than stock...just wondering what u guys r running...thx in advance..

Also wondering what would cause over boosting...my logs are showing 26 psi (186 kpa) and its red...i know that aint good...

As much as possible without knock, then back off 1 degree, maybe 2.

hmm dam lol...ok thx

23* for me

im on 22 degrees right now. adding meth soon though

wow so ur saying 22 degrees added on...

no no no...22* total advance

ok i got u..i was about to say..lol...coo thx a bunch...do u guys have any idea about me overboosting..

26psi on a 2.8? is that what your boost gauge is reading?

you have a foul dp you say?

nope only my logs..my boost gauge reads 12 or 13 at the highest...but i believe the logs over the gauge..

naw i got my dp fixed now..i just changed it today which is y im tuning again..

Must not be reading correctly...

what? my log? or my gauge?

something is not right. get a mechanical boost/vacuum gauge and tap it on the vacuum line coming off of the intake manifold. true boost reading

LOL thats what i have...thats y im tripping..maybe i could have a boost leak but thats stupid cuz im overboosting u know

what is stock timing? my mechanic did my tune and tried to explain stuff to me but i didnt understand much of it, all i know since i didnt have alot of time we only went up 2* of timing.

um stock timing is 15 and if he went up 2 then ur at 17...

20 degrees without meth and a 2.8

hmm ok coo..im going to do 21 and see if it shows knock

26, backing down to 25 by redline, on meth

so i have a question.. what if i use meth and my 2.8 what kinda timing should i run?? i mean i will definatly watch for knock ( interseptor) but i want to get a kinda good idea where i should mess around at??( meth mix is just going to me regular washerfluid... 70(water) / 30(meth) i beleave

every car is different. keep trying different things

dam that is alot..no knock huh?

meth is a wonderful thing. lol. on these cars you really dont want to go past 25 degrees. they dont make anymore power after that, just more heat

so i should stop at 25 if anything right? never rilly did any timin on any of my cars... always had it done at a tuning shop... lol now its my turn to eather save money... or mess something up and get a new built motor lol.
