WTF Timing

I bumped my timing up from the 10* it was set on to a measley 11 1/2, even switched to 93 gas. and yet im still getting a pinging around 4500 - 5500 rpms!! What is wrong with this? It still responds sluggish, and i kno 12-13* is like the norm, why can't i do it??

RE: WTF Timing

sounds like the timing is not being managed properly under load

RE: WTF Timing

well i was refering to the harmonic balancer

i believe if it was off your car would vibrate as the rev's increase

yea i know it was set at 10* but it was soooo sluggish. like a 5 second delay between when i hit the gas and when it would react. i got tired of driving a retarded car lol
