alky tuning

Grannynational · 08-10-2004, 09:07 AM

all I have for now is a 26* race chip. I'm trying to make the alky work but dont want to go more than 18# because of transitional knock.

at the top end of third I get zero knock but when I get into it, I get a few degrees. I'm not into changing head gaskets any more, I gave up on that hobby.

I guess I just need less timing?

Throwing timing at the motor is like throwing pebbles at windows.. only a matter of time...

Yes lower timing will knock less.
