Timing question....
Alright, got the beast running this weekend and (aside from a few unexpected leaks and a set of glowing headers, all went well).
I'm looking for a general (read "safe") timing range to break this thing in at until I can get it dynotuned. Car has:
AFR 195's
Superchaged
224/234 @ .050" .465/.488 cam.
While I was breaking in the lifter, the total advance read 43.6 at 1512 rpm. I'm not sure if that high or low. I had the BTM set at 2.5*/psi when I shot it around the block for a few minutes, just to be safe. I can't time the initial, since I had to bring it up so high (+10*) to solve the header issue, but I may have gone too high in my haste to cool off the exhaust. What do you guru's think?
