thats weird...N/A i can max out the timing with the predator and it feels like a turd down low but a lil faster on top end.
I always thought that more timing was more HP/less tq and retard was less hp/more tq.
Guess i thought wrong.
I know the 28s are too big for the track, but keep in mind when im on the street i run 275/40/17's so they arent too tall. and im still slow.
If i do cams and it has to be tuned anyway, ill probably jump for a 150shot tune. If that didnt get me over 400whp id be pissed.

Some of the FAST guys that race at crossville retard their timing 15* for a 200-300 shot. They say it helps keep the nose of the car on the ground to the 60ft, then it comes on like a freight train on the big end. Just something to consider when you are out playing. Hook up the Predator and take off 3* and just see how it feels. I've been using 7* retard, and it feels pretty good.
