Race gas timing, hearing a different opinion.
I'm scratching my head.. now you're a drag racer and you're using race gas now, but you never changed your tune from pump fuel. I've just gotten know you better. Do you race the same track everytime, on the same day with the same weather, tires that never wear
..wind that never changes direction or speed. Jk
You bet your *** you can raise the timing when you up the octane. In fact you might make zero more or less if you use too much octane for the squeeze... itll just run hotter from burning slower and the timing will be far from ideal in some cases.
Gonna read the other replies now..
this is a new motor, not lots of racing on it
my old motor was pump gas, long gone. Stock stroke 360
Rod Bloomer tested these heads on a short block similar to mine on the dyno, it liked 34 best. Motor was 11.6 compression, mine is 12.4( heads milled)
my only experience in my life with a good chamber, was my W5 motor. Moved timing around everywhere. Went the fastest with it at 32
my 360 that was 10 to 1 on pump gas liked 34 best, I moved it around.
thos new motor, no, I haven’t moved it around, but I don’t recall ever running 38 degrees timing in anything, but I am gonna give it a try.
and I race at a number of track, differing conditions, but as a bracket racer, you start making changes, you introduce a whole new set of variables.
if it’s 90 and 3600 feet of air, I have a pretty good idea what it will run. If it’s 70 and 2100 feet of air, I know what it will run there too.
once season of racing starts, I have never been one to change much, and unfortunately, last few years I have less chances to get out before racing starts to play around
I am busy, own a business, I don’t have tons of time to dick around, wish I did..lol
