I finally got a timing light, actually my dad gave me one when i was in NY.

What should i bump my timing to? I'm hearing alot of bumping it to 19, im not sure yet. want to hear from others.

PS. the timing light looks like a gun right? with a dial near the grip and it has a black red wires like a jumper cable? IM just making sure its not the wrong ****.

I wouldn't go that high...I run mine at 14 degrees, but I also run 93 just to be safe. If you go over 12*, I would run premium gas to prevent detonation.

ok, i put 89 in my car. What is the stock timing set at? and what would be best for 89 in my car with no mods.

Stock is 10*, sometimes as little as 8*. I would at least bump it up to 12-13, maybe a little more. Be sure to do it a little at a time and see how it handles it before you jump too many *'s.

ok, so what does bumped timing help really?

i 'm at 18* and i run 89 octane.

is your car stock? i wonder if it matters if your stock or not

grabbem88

nope....by far from stock...

damn, i really dont know what to bump it at. i might just bump it to 13. see how it goes.

grabbem88

leave it at 14* see how that works for ya.
