Nope. I just made that all up.
And I never said a WORD about LESS timing. I said get a curve in it.
I’ll ask you this simple question. How does you engine want the same timing at idle as it does at peak torque and as it does at peak power?
Was the factory stupid by using a curve?
I’ll also add that you have no idea what your timing is if you lock it out. Bet everything you have that your timing retards with rpm.
Unless you get your timing light on it at idle, and then every 500 rpm or at least every 1000 rpm you have no clue what your actual timing is.
