Re: Timing

You should be more concerned with total timing than base timing...

...And proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar. I hate having to translate posts into English. That stuff should be understood by 5th Grade.

You should ask "brian harries" what initial timing he programmed in your "chip". It should match!

We're volunteers here. We don't get paid or otherwise rewarded.

If you're so lazy that you can't bother to formulate proper questions, why would I bother to formulate a proper reply? Post like a third-grader, expect to get pushback.

Here in the real world, your willingness to adhere to language standards matters.

Re: Timing

While it's not an exact answer to your original question, I do know that the factory heads like little to no advance at idle. I wouldn't expect that to change too wildly with the changes you have made, but then again, I'm no engine builder either.

When I played with the timing on my stock LO3 305 TBI back around '91 / '92, I pretty quickly discovered that 2 or 3* of advance may have provided a slight benefit (or I may have just convinced my self it did), anything more than that offered no reward at all.

Where do you have the timing set currently? Have you tried advancing it at all?

As mentioned above, checking with the gentlemen who provided the tune would be a good place to start with both the timing and fuel pressure questions.

Cam advance and timing advance are two completely different things.

Re: Timing

I have that same cam, engine and heads in a jeep. If I remember correctly it doesn't require any tuning modifications (from comp cams). I have 2* initial and runs great about 13-14 PSI fuel. I would think you will still need to tune it to get absolute best performance. But should run fine with stock tune.

Wow, just wow! That is exactly what happens when we "dumb down" the learning in school...and he continues to NOT use punctuation.
