2017 GS/A8 recommend retard on 150? My set up is currently at 100 shot nitrous outlet plate, brisk 12rr, winmax
on at 3500 and 85% off at 6200. And an LNC 2014 set at 4*.
93 octane, weapon x ported TB and an atomic airforce, Corsa x pipe and muffler delete. If I bump to 150, the recommendation would be 8* or 6*? Stock timing when N/A

On a non forged pistons set up in the GS, if me would hold off to the less then go 1 deg more at a time. All going to happen is break a piston ring if you go to much.

I dont know how hard one guy was pushing his car but his motor went on a 150 shot. These dam pistons in the non z06 cars are crap for pistons the LS stuff could take much more. A good driver can make up in driving a 50 hp diff in my book.. So is it worth running off what someone tells you in here for a 50 hp diff or staying with something that is working now.. If so I would take baby steps for sure in the car... Robert
