I would like to know what total timing is, and what the best way to set timing, at idle, or at certain RPM. Hopefully someone can chime in and answer my question too.
No. And because of sensor inputs, you can't check your operating "total timing" with a timing light, unless you lay under the hood while someone is making a WOT pass in your car.
the timing is set at 14* on base . is that alot should i bump it back down ???
It IS a lot, but that is what I'm running. The best way to find the optimum timing is to make a few 1/4 mile passes and observe the 1/4 mile MPH. Bump the base timing up 2* and try it again. Stop when you've found the setting that produces the best MPH. Since you're starting at 14*, you may have to test at lower base settings, also.
