How much timing is too much timing?

AdventureNoodle · 11-06-2022, 10:18 PM

Pure stage 2 turbo E85 here. My max power tune runs at about 22.5psi and 17.5-18* of timing at redline. Is this too aggressive? Should I have my tuner lower it? Not looking to send a piston to the moon lol.

Thanks in advance!

Full E85? I would think that's ok.

Seems like the whole point of having a tuner you have trust and confidence in is not having to figure this out yourself.

Shouldn’t they know the answer to this? Isn’t that what you’re paying him to know?

I agree, but I'm hearing mixed things. I also blew a turbo already, so I'm extra cautious.

Fair. I’ve seen some solid feedback on here with Bend Cal and that’s where I’ll be turning if/when I pull the trigger on fueling and a turbo.

They were responsive via email even prior to doing business with them which I thought was impressive. May be worth a shot.

It depends on your boost; you can be a lot more aggressive with ignition timing if you are not too aggressive with boost.

Are you getting any timing corrections? If not, then you are good.
