Review:
Ya want hotter: install a higher thermostat.
Ya want cooler: paint the block, compartment and hood BLACK. Or up the cooling system.
Which one of these makes more power? hotter.
You want more power per bang: review the conditions inside the combustion chamber.
We all run our engines up to the onset of ping. Then we back off somewhere:
Octane, Timing, pedal, compression, mixture, cam dynamics, coatings, gear match, oh and external engine temperaure. A cooler engine allows more timing advance - (How much more? ) because it has lower CYL pressures.
Some may turn up the radio or turn down their hearing aid, yet ping still robs power (new topic huh)
