W2 Mopar inspection w/RAMM

Hysteric said

The reason it wanted that much timing was because it was lean. You must be tired as I'm sure its late over there so you must have missed this:

"If this is the head and combustion chamber the engine has, I would be surprised it is happy with 36 degrees total. I have tuned a few SBF with this head and similar heads in the last 10 years or so that were happy with 30 or less .... 26. Too much timing, even if it doesn't knock, will make the engine feel like the brakes are dragging or the car is towing a parachute."

I already stated that I have seen two SBF's with AFR heads that made best power @ 24 total. Both were high compression examples and didn't like more than 24 probably because they were running into detonation territory. You're above statement is no mystery at all either--when the timing is too advanced the engine will feel like the brakes are on because-----You are trying to light the fire while the pistons are starting the compression cycle. In other words the engine is performing way too much NEGATIVE WORK. Not sure what you are trying to say between this thread and the other. Wish you would spit it out so we can address your concerns and move on. J.Rob
