Supercharger and Engine Timing Question
I plan on getting the Whipple supercharger for my 07 GT next month. I done a fair amount of research on the forum and have noticed people talking about the timing, 15 or 20 degrees. What is the stock timing and does the timing get advanced or retarded when a supercharger is added to a car? And what is considered a relatively safe timing for a whipple blown car?
Thanx

RE: Supercharger and Engine Timing Question
wow great questions and great choice on
the whipple.
i haven't a clue about the timing or really anything
else for that matter, i'm just the grease monkey who's
bolting on a whipple to my 06.
it will be very nice indeed, if it starts up after all of this!

RE: Supercharger and Engine Timing Question
The appropriate timing is the most you can throw at it before going lean. It's different for every car. Canned tunes are conservative because of variations in air temperature and density in different areas. Anyone installing a blower is best advised to do a dyno tune. After spending 6k, it's a sound investment. You would be pulling timing out of it, btw.
