drjonez said:heh. cars always run better just before they blow up. advancing the timing is fine @ low boost levels and low power levels. but as you go up in boost level, you need to REDUCE timing (especially on pump gas) to prevent detonation.
don't forget that AFM scaling messes w/timing as well....i.e. you "lean it out" via SAFC/eman/etc. you are INCREASING timing.
Okay gotcha. They mentioned that or atleast Eric Z. did when we were doing it. Since my settings are set to low boost of 14.5 because the hi of 18 keeps hitting what I think is fuel cut I'm just using low. But once I go hi he says that the timing needs to be reduced. Some cars even go below 10 if they have too much power and run HI boost. Also the gauge shows rich rather than lean so increasing timing should be okay. Thanks
