Battery size or timing too high?

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.
No need to be self righteous, is it possible to ask questions and learn something here? Every time someone chimes in with their holy than thou attitude. I was asking questions, to which you’ve provided no proof other than your opinion. I’m not even arguing with you. A curve would involve less timing and you say I’m losing power by not using a curve…. So yes you did say that.

Now, I don’t have the springs or bushings so I’m working with what I have, currently. I have considered switching to a curve but I’ve never heard that locking out the timing loses power.
