advance timing

[Trunks134]

to advance your timing do you move the distubutor towards the front of the car or towards the back of the car?

you can tell by listening to the motor if it sounds like its speeding up or galloping your advancing it when the motor starts going deeper in pitch and is idling a little rough the timing is being retard.

^isnt timing a really BAD way to gain a few hp?

 

[patrick4588]

advancing the timing is an easy way to gain hp as long as you are using the proper gas and its not knocking. once you get detonation, its obviously not good.

Use some 104+ Octane Booster to help avoid the knocks and pings when advancing the distributor.

(or any GOOD octane booster) Make sure to check the labels and read how many Octane NUMBERS you get, not Points. 10Points=1 Number. In my Jetta, since I've got a chip I gota run 91 Octane Premium gas, and I just dumped some NOS Octane Booster (Yeah I got NOS! :rolf Which upgraded my octane Number to 97. A whole 6 points.

we atleast have 93 octane here. someplaces i heard of having 96 at the pumps.

 

[red98teg]

^96 at the pmups? i dunno... sounds fishy... :roll:

 

[patrick4588]

i think a couple raceway gas stations in GA have higher than 93

 

[red98teg]

^really? racetrack or raceway? cause raceway is only in south ga i believe...
