Re: 89 Mustang GT
be careful when jacking up timing that high. Some combinations will cost you power. The more you increase base timing the more power you will lose on the top end in these cases. ( fall off quickly)
I would also like to see the graphs. Send them to Brian so he can post them here with notes relating to each pull |

Re: 89 Mustang GT
I really hope they put new plugs in that thing while they were doing the swap.

Re: 89 Mustang GT
Don't know. Wasn't there. We can pick up some plugs sometime in the next day or so.

It gained power all the way across each time the timing was bumped up and the A/F Ratio remained steady, but the powerband was still to round. |

Re: 89 Mustang GT
Almost sounds like what my car is doing...still
I'm to the point where I think it is my C&L meter...it's a load-induced pinging...only when car reaches operating temp.
