28* initial timing for a 318? How can that be?
What kind of numbers are you talking?
20 and 20.
But what if it’s only 5? That still tells you the engine isn’t happy.
When do my engine I’ll see what happens because I always start with a locked out distributor so I can develop the curve.
I suspect since my engine is (according to the gurus) “so close to the edge” that it may show more than that.
And for the record, I’d love to have the ability to use the brake to get the curve correct and then use a true inertia dyno to make the pulls.
I suspect the water brake makes the gains less than what they would be if the brake didn’t control the rate of acceleration.
Obviously I can’t prove that (I could have if a guy I worked for wasn’t a slimy steaming pile of crap) but that’s my half educated guess.
