right now i have my car running on a base map i made on crome w/turbo efficiency a 140% and retard at 1.00 deg.
you think i could put the timming retard at .9 - .85 ? or should i just ------ leave it?
it runs fine now w/black smoke in boost. and a bit of a funky idle when its warmed up.
thanks

 

id put it at .75

 

yeah that'd be smart

leave it alone until you can tune it.

 

allright, that would be something i have to do on a dyno correct?

 

I thought that .75 was relatively conserative?

 

it all very much depends on what sort of setup and motor he is running.

yes, or you can street tune.

 

how would one go about street tuning the timing?
