Total timing how much? - 5/22/2008 2:54:58 AM    TTGreenSN95 Posts: 622 Joined: 3/25/2007 Status: offline I have been racing  "The Green Turd"  with nitrous only so I have been using about 30* total timing with a 125 dry shot I know I could add more but im just staying safe. What are you guys running total timing N/A Im racing friday night with no nitrous I was just wondering how much timing I should put in her. if the advance is 25 atWOT and you guys are turning the dizzy to 16* that means 41* total timing??????? I was thinking about trying to go about 38*-39*total timing  hence the crappy sn95 puter.  Sound about right?????????? I have the dizzy set at 10*  I can change the advance to whatever on the laptop I was thinking about 28* advance that would give me 38* total timing sound about right for a NO nitro run? _____________________________ Post #: 1

Then you factor in fuel availability and timing requirements become what they are. _____________________________ Who cares how much horsepower it has, all that matters is how fast it goes!
