  • advanced timing?

    Alright, I have a '99 maro and the engine is completely stock internally and it has around 80K miles on it

    What is the farest I can safely advance my timing (with a tune) without causing any knock or any other problems, also what temp plugs should i change to? and what kind of gains could i expect?

    o i will want to use regular gas
    K&N air filter, Whisper air lid, magnaflow LT1 cat back, and magnaflow high flow cat, pacesetter headers, silverstars<br /><br />more to come soon<br />but for now im out of money

    every car is different
    depends on
    1outside temp
    2temp of the engine (ECT)
    3quality of gas
    4AFR
    5exhaust efficiency
    etc etc etc etc....etc....

    I'm assuming you are getting a mail order tune
    if you use regular gas then you cant advance as much

      would 2* be safe? would it be safer to change my plugs aswell?

      my engine has a full exhuast headers, cat, and 3" cat-back, it also has a 160* thermostat and I will have my fans set at 160 too

        2* will be safe on the high octane table.
        With the cam in 90+* weather I was running 4* higher all accross the board and 9 or so * higher in the upper rpm WOT range on 91 octane wiht 0 knock. There was also still room for improvement.
