Dude, this is my thread so if you don’t have anything practical to add just stop. You’re just creating drama I detest drama especially when there is no reason for it.
I don’t care who your mentor is or what facts you purport to know but the stuff you’re spouting here is not relevant to what I do. You may think it is but trust me, I’m good.
I try to be respectful to everyone but you are so pedantic about what you claim to know that I can’t take you seriously. Not everyone needs to get so deep into this stuff, it takes the fun out of it. I will never need multiple timing curves for anything. I’m just a guy trying to enjoy the hobby and hopefully get my car down the track.
I am absolutely a shoe polish racer and there is no shame in that. I have a family, a business and whatever else that prevents me from living at a racetrack. If I can race the car more than three times a year I’m doing OK.
So maybe I’m leaving power on the table because my ignition timing is not perfect. Who cares? I’m actually a perfectionist myself but I’m not obnoxiously anal about it. Well, maybe sometimes…
Regardless, I did a good job building my engine. I sweated the details, worked hard at it and it surpassed my expectations. I could care less about anything else.
