ok I have a split Second ignition retard control and @ 3500 ft above sea level and can only get about 5lbs of boost, so I called them to see how much retard I should use and they cant tell me the only thing they will tell me is that it has 21 clikcs and 1 click=1 degree of retard per lb of boostso 2clicks = 2 degrees of retard per boost and so on so


so 1 clk@1lb =1 degrees3clk@1lb=3degrees

so my question is how much retard do I need

Am i the only one around here who advanced timing at WOT? I'm seeing 22º.... seems like everyone else around here is pulling timing like crazy.

I'm seeing around 19 degrees at wot right now, but the weather is getting hotter, so I'm going to have to pull some more when it gets 120 deg. outside. Gotta love AZ weather.

OMG 120 degrees. I guess it's not humid out there? Here in MD at 90 degrees and up you sweat your frickin' nads off!

Most of the guys seeing timing being pulled probably arent detonating. These knock sensors are typically too sensative and need to be turned down under some circumstances.

[blackFbird_98]

what does timing being pulled mean

You need to get a program such as Hp or autotap to see what is actually going on with the motor so you can tune it properly. In the meantime, 2 degrees per 50 hp is safe.

I was told to dial one for every 3 psi that you make. So if 5 is your max then 1.5 should be your dial.

Also, you don't need it if you could put a 93 octane (Calif. only has 91, stinks bad here) or have an intercooler. It does have a tendency of robbing you of power when you are at full boost.
