The car just took off. I am happy it happened but that big of a jump with 4 deg timing increase still does not make much sense.
I have never heard this engine ping,
But pinging engines would not be making their peak HP, you would think ? I have never dynoed a engine in my life either.
That Sun timing light you like, 7501 ? I will pick one up just to double check my timing light.
But the way I see it, if I got a 1.37 60 foot, there is a 135 in there somewhere. If I got 126 MPH, 130-132 should be within reach.
