I advanced my timing to 14 degrees, and shortly after put 87 in my car by accident and didnt realize till i had 5 gallons in... So i decided to run it and see what happened.. No ping or knockt all. So I'm thinkin of bumbing it up more.. Any benifit???? or just dumb to do?

that question is a major "depends" answer...alot of variables

I figured it would be more trial n error, I guess the real question is. Is their noticable power to be had by going to say 16 or 17 degrees. I mean if it pings or knocks just ease it back a little.. Just not sure if the available power is woth the risk????

in 2005 my afr/comp cam/rpm intake/ timing was set at 12* timing made like 277hp..bumped timing to 18* ran it again and made 309hp

a stock motor won't see that i don't think

Just put in 93 and you can easily go up to 16. There are not many guys that run higher than 18-19.

That helps, thanks for the info.. we'll see what happens.. When I got the car the timming was at 8* the bumb to 14* made a big difference..

^^^ that is true,but you'd crap if you seen the timing table's at light loads..

well atleast with my pms programmer at low speeds and cruising speeds i saw 44* total and 50* total...they say it's normal,but it made me making some phone calls fast
